Summary

This study tests a special therapy program delivered over the internet for people with mild cognitive impairment or dementia who also feel anxious. The program uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to help manage worry and fear. Researchers will measure changes in anxiety and quality of life in 70 participants to see if this remote approach works.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) delivered via a software platform
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a practical, home-based therapy option to reduce anxiety in people with memory problems or dementia.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage trial with only 70 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy requires technology access and comfort, which may limit its use.
