What this trial studies
This trial tests the effectiveness of a nurse-led clinics cognitive training program for patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) using a single-blind, randomized controlled design. Participants will be divided into two groups: one receiving cognitive training in nurse-led clinics and the other receiving home-based training. The study aims to assess various outcomes, including cognitive function, anxiety and depression levels, quality of life, and daily living abilities over a 12-month period. The primary measure of cognitive function will be the Mini-Mental State Examination, with additional neuropsychological assessments and EEG results analyzed for further insights.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are literate Han Chinese individuals over 18 years old with a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment.
Not a fit: Patients with severe aphasia, significant physical disabilities, or other serious health conditions may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could help slow cognitive decline and improve the quality of life for patients with mild cognitive impairment.
How similar studies have performed: While this approach is innovative, similar studies have shown promise in cognitive training interventions for cognitive impairments.
