Memory boost: personalized scenarios may help Alzheimer's patients stay oriented
NCT ID NCT07548073
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a training program for people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. The training used personal photos and videos to recreate familiar situations, aiming to improve orientation to time, place, and person. 126 participants were assigned to either the training group (3 sessions per week for 3 months) or usual care. The study measured thinking skills and orientation to see if this non-drug approach could help.
