NCT03119051

Brief Summary

This study evaluates the effects of "computerized cognitive training" and "cognitive training plus exercise training" on different cognitive domains in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients. Patients will be randomized into the computerized training group, cognitive training plus exercise training group and the control group.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence of AD

    The 3-year incidence of AD in each group will be compared.

    12 months

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • The global cognitive function of MCI patients

    6 months

  • Memory

    12 months

  • Attention

    12 months

  • Executive functions

    12 months

  • Language

    12 months

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (3)

online cognitive training

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will receive 3-4 times of 20-30 minutes' training game every week

Behavioral: Online cognitive training

no training

NO INTERVENTION

Patients will not undergo preoperative cognitive training.

Cognitive training and physical exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will receive 3-4 times of 20-30 minutes' training game every week and 2 times of 60 minutes' Tai Chi Training

Behavioral: Cognitive training plus physical exercise

Interventions

A variety of cognitive domains will be involved in the training including memory, calculation, attention, visuospatial and executive skills. The difficulty level of each game will be adjusted automatically according to patients' last training results so that patients' correction rate will be kept between 70% and 80%.
