Computerized Cognitive Training to Improve Cognition in Diabetic Elderly Veterans
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating computerized cognitive training and control games for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2. Completed, enrolled 199 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Computerized cognitive training (CCT) is an intervention has improved cognitive functioning in the elderly with and without cognitive impairment. The investigators will study the effect of a CCT program over an active control, "classic" computerized games. The outcomes will be memory and executive functions/attention, diabetes elf-management and adherence to medications, and glycemic and blood pressure control. Non-demented elderly Veterans with diabetes mellitus, who are at high risk for cognitive impairment, will be from the James J. Peters, Bronx, NY and Ann Arbor, MI VAMCs. This novel potential service fits the portfolio of the Quality Enhancement Research Initiative for Diabetes Mellitus (QUERI-DM) for which the Ann Arbor VAMC is a primary center. If successful, the VA National Center for Prevention and MyHeatheVet will collaborate in disseminating results to encourage implementation throughout the VA
