Brain training with eye movements: a new hope for slowing cognitive decline?
NCT ID NCT05791994
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests whether doing simple eye exercises on a touchscreen for 30 minutes every other day can improve attention and thinking speed in people aged 60 and older with mild cognitive impairment. Forty participants will either do the visual exercises or watch a TV program for 30 days. The goal is to see if the exercises help the brain process information faster.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Visual cognitive stimulation exercises (saccade, pursuit, and matching tasks on a touchscreen)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, non-drug way to help older adults with mild cognitive impairment stay sharper and process information faster.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (40 people) with no blinding, so results may not be reliable or apply to everyone. The exercises are compared to watching TV, which is a weak control.
