Summary

This trial tests whether a 12-week psychomotor therapy program—combining relaxation, breathing, facial, hand, and mind exercises—can improve cognitive health in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. Participants aged 50 and older will be split into two groups: one receiving the exercise plan and one receiving usual care. The study measures changes in memory, attention, and mood to see if this non-drug approach offers a practical way to support brain health.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: A 12-week psychomotor therapy (PMT) rehabilitation nursing plan involving relaxation, breathing, facial, hand, and mind exercises.
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a non-drug way to support cognitive health and daily function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial, so results may not apply broadly. The exercises may not produce lasting cognitive benefits, and adherence could vary.
