NCT07239609 · Phase 1 · RECRUITING
ACT for Individuals With MNCD and Their Care Partners
This trial is testing Acceptance Commitment Therapy, a talk-therapy approach, delivered to both a person with mild cognitive impairment or early dementia and their care partner at the same time. It is measuring whether the approach is practical and acceptable, and whether it helps reduce depression, anxiety, and grief in both people. This is a Phase 1 trial, meaning the focus is on feasibility and safety, not yet proof that it works.
