NCT ID NCT04792528
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether computerized memory training can slow mental decline in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a stage between normal aging and dementia. About 205 participants from Norwegian memory clinics will do brain exercises on a computer or play a simple game (control group). Researchers will track memory, daily function, and quality of life for up to 4 years to see if training helps delay dementia.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
computerized cognitive training (COGMED RM program)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug way to delay dementia in people with mild cognitive impairment, potentially improving quality of life and reducing healthcare costs.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with 205 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The training may not slow decline, and benefits could be small or temporary.
