Could simple exercises slow cognitive decline? a new trial investigates.

NCT ID NCT07089654

First seen Aug 07, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026

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.
