NCT ID NCT06493422
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at how mild cognitive impairment (MCI) affects the link between making decisions and moving. Researchers will track hand movements and brain changes in 60 adults aged 45-90, half with MCI and half without. The goal is to find early signs of disease that could lead to better treatments and prevent falls or car crashes.
