Memory clinic patients recruited for next phase of four-centre clinical trial

The Silver Santé Study’s second clinical trial – which is investigating the impact of mental training techniques on the health and well-being of patients with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) – has now completed its first round of interventions and work is underway to recruit new volunteers for its second wave starting late 2017/early 2018.

The trial – which is taking place simultaneously at memory clinics in the UK, France, Germany and Spain – is assessing the effects of short-term interventions, such as learning healthy lifestyle habits or meditation, involving around 160 patients. Behavioural measures will be monitored to see how much of a difference can be made to participants’ well-being due to an intervention.
