NCT07372066 · RECRUITING
Cognitive Stimulation Therapy Group for Residential Home Residents With Dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment
This trial is testing whether a structured 14-session Cognitive Stimulation Therapy group helps older adults with dementia or mild cognitive impairment more than a calligraphy group does. Researchers are looking at changes in memory and thinking, mood, social engagement, and quality of life. This is a Phase N/A behavioral trial — meaning it is evaluating a non-drug program, not a medication, in a real-world residential care setting.
