First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will check if a Greek version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test is reliable for spotting early memory problems. Researchers will enroll 250 Greek-speaking adults aged 55-85, including some with mild cognitive impairment or dementia. The goal is to give doctors a trusted tool to identify cognitive decline sooner.

- What could go wrong
- This is a validation study, not a treatment trial. The test may not prove accurate enough for widespread use, and results may not apply to other languages or regions.
