Brain training for HIV patients: a new hope for sharper thinking?
NCT ID NCT05773430
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to see if personalized computer-based brain exercises could improve thinking skills in adults with HIV who have mild memory or attention problems. Researchers planned to enroll 120 people aged 40 and older, giving half of them training focused on their weakest mental skills. The study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
