What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This pilot study tests whether doing simple eye exercises on a touchscreen for 30 minutes every other day can improve attention and thinking speed in people aged 60 and older with mild cognitive impairment. Forty participants will either do the visual exercises or watch a TV program for 30 days. The goal is to see if the exercises help the brain process information faster.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Visual cognitive stimulation exercises (saccade, pursuit, and matching tasks on a touchscreen)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, non-drug way to help older adults with mild cognitive impairment stay sharper and process information faster.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (40 people) with no blinding, so results may not be reliable or apply to everyone. The exercises are compared to watching TV, which is a weak control.
