BrainLive Connect: Non-professional Delivered CST for People Living With Dementia
This trial tests whether Cognitive Stimulation Therapy sessions, led by trained volunteers rather than clinicians, can improve thinking skills and quality of life for people already living with mild to moderate dementia. Participants receive seven weeks of structured group activities or continue with usual care. This is a Phase NA mixed-methods study, meaning it is evaluating a real-world service delivery model rather than a new drug or device.
