Cognitive Change Clinical Trial

Official title:
Brain Exercises for Synaptic Plasticity: the BEST Study

Clinical Trial Summary

The BEST study will investigate the feasibility of cognitive interventions in a randomized, placebo-controlled, clinical trial. The investigators will recruit 45 cognitively normal subjects and engage them in one of three cohorts over an 8 week period, including active reading vs. origami study arms and a placebo group without structured cognitive intervention.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a randomized, placebo controlled study investigating the practical implementation and conduct of two cognitive interventions in non-demented subjects. Subjects will be randomized 1:1:1 into three groups including: 1) a Book club that includes weekly one hour meetings and daily reading assignments, 2) Origami lessons (one hour/week) with daily take home Origami activities to complete, and 3) a placebo group with unstructured lifestyle activities (normal lifestyle activities without restraint). ;
