Both Silver Santé clinical trials – Age Well and SCD Well – are progressing well and running on schedule.

Age Well, coordinated in Caen, France, is assessing the impact of various mental training techniques on healthy adults aged 65 plus as well as expert meditators. It has just completed its third and final wave of volunteer recruitment.

The SCD Well trial – taking place in the UK, Spain, France and Germany – is assessing the impact of mental training techniques on patients with subjective cognitive decline. Around 140 volunteers have now been recruited to take part in the trial.

In both trials, researchers are also investigating lifestyle factors such as sleep, diet and emotions to assess the role they play in maintaining good mental health and wellbeing as we age.
