NCT ID NCT06597981
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests an 18-week program where people with mild dementia and their family caregivers do sport stacking (a fast cup-stacking game) together at home. The goal is to see if it improves thinking skills, mood, and quality of life for both the person with dementia and their caregiver. 144 pairs are being recruited in Hong Kong, with half doing the stacking program and half receiving standard dementia care education.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
sport stacking program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, home-based activity to help people with mild dementia think more clearly and feel better, while also reducing stress for their caregivers.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (144 participants) testing a behavioral program, not a drug. The benefits may be modest, and results may not apply to everyone with dementia.
