NCT ID NCT04949750
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether doing paper-based cognitive training (like memory and attention exercises) could help 70 Vietnamese patients with early Alzheimer's disease. Participants did the training for 12 weeks, and researchers measured changes in memory, thinking, and daily living skills. The goal was to see if this simple, non-drug approach could ease symptoms and support independence.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to help people with early Alzheimer's maintain memory and thinking skills.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with no phase designation, so results may not apply broadly. The training is paper-based, which may be less engaging than digital alternatives.
