The Cognitive Enhancing Effects of D-Cycloserine Among Non-Demented Elderly
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating d-cycloserine and Sugar Pill for Treatment and Placebo. Completed, enrolled 51 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this study is to determine whether a study medication (d-cycloserine) improves the ability of older adults to perform on tests of neuropsychological functioning. Tests of neuropsychological functioning assess attention, memory, and executive functioning skills (for example, problem-solving, planning and organizing skills). It was hypothesized that participants who received study medication would perform better on neuropsychological tests than would participants who received the sugar pill.
