Brain-Training games tested as a tool for intellectual disabilities
NCT ID NCT07476092
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether playing digital brain games on the MentalUP app can improve visual memory and cognitive skills in young adults (18-35) with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities. Sixty participants will be split into two groups: one plays the games, the other continues usual care. Their memory and thinking are tested at 3, 6, and 12 months. The goal is to see if fun, game-based training can offer lasting benefits.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MentalUP digital cognitive training platform
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a low-cost, engaging way to help people with intellectual disabilities sharpen their memory and thinking skills.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (60 people) testing a behavioral intervention, not a drug. Results may not apply to everyone, and improvements might be modest or temporary.
