Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to examine the clinical efficacy of online Mahjong in improving physical health, cognitive performance, happiness, laboratory biomarkers, and structural brain imaging (magnetic resonance imaging, MRI) by a randomized controlled trial design, and hopefully to expand the scope of healthy aging intervention activities with strong scientific evidence.

Clinical Trial Description

Psychomotor function among older adult's decline was associated with reducing people interaction during pandemic has been reported. The research focused on examining the benefit and efficacy of digital based Mahjong games with 6-month intervention is very limited or none. A random control design was conducted with comparing intervention group and with control group, followed the CONSORT guidelines. Six months program was intervened to ensure the impact of the intervention. Primary outcome is brain imagery changes between groups, which showed changes in temporal fusiform cortex but not in resting-state fMRI. The total score of MoCA, delayed recall was increase from baseline to after intervention in experimental group. Overall cognitive function and visuospatial/executive, in experimental group improved more than control group. Improving self-rating daily health status as associated with achievement rate of Mahjong game. Increasing level of resilience was associated with demoralization level, subtraction of cognitive function, and 5th month walking steps. In addition, affecting incased self -rate overall heath was related to demoralization. In short, online mahjong intervention has positive impact on older adults in cognitive function , resilience, demoralization and overall quality of life. ;
