Brain training may sharpen aging minds in diabetes
NCT ID NCT07747675
First seen Aug 05, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a structured cognitive training program can improve memory, attention, and other thinking skills in older adults who have type 2 diabetes and mild cognitive impairment. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the cognitive intervention or a control group, attending eight weekly sessions over about two months. Researchers will measure changes using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) to see if the program helps.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A structured cognitive-psychostimulation program based on INAPAM's Cognitive Stimulation Manual, delivered in eight weekly 60-minute sessions.
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this program could offer a non-drug way to help older adults with diabetes maintain or improve memory and thinking skills.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is relatively small and the intervention is short-term, so benefits may be modest or not lasting. Results may not apply to all older adults.
