CTEC Trial Summary
This trial will study how exercise affects thinking in adults w/cog. complaints & childhood abuse/neglect. Participants tracked for 78 days in 5 parts w/lab exercises, symptom & neuropsych tests. 9-week exercise intervention or activity as usual outside of lab.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for middle-aged adults (40-60 years old) who experienced childhood abuse or neglect, have cognitive complaints but are medically healthy. They must speak English fluently and not have severe mental health issues, substance abuse problems, major medical conditions, or engage in high-intensity activities.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how different exercise intensities affect cognition over a period of up to 78 days. Participants will undergo initial assessments followed by acute exercises in the lab and a longer-term exercise regimen or their usual activity with regular cognitive testing.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves moderate intensity exercise, potential side effects may include typical exercise-related discomforts such as muscle soreness, fatigue, shortness of breath during activity, and possibly joint pain.
