简要总结
Mild cognitive impairment is a typical trasnitional stage betweeen the normal aging process and the onset of dementia. Mental exercises and aerobic exercises can shield brain from cognitive decline in elderly. Cognitive physical dual task training is defined as participation in an activity that requires the person to engage physically and cognitively at the same time. Another approach that can improve cognitive functiom in older adults is binaural beats that can be defined as when two different tones are played into two ears, leading to the perception of a beat at frequency equal to the difference between the two tones.Elderly participants with MCI who meet the inclusion criteria will be selected. The Subjects will be randomly allocated into two groups. One group will receive BB in combination with physical dual-task training while the other group will receive cognitive physical dual-task training only for 8 weeks.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
The objectives of this study are:
- To compare the effects of binaural beats in addition to cognitive-physical dual-task training on working memory in older adults with mild cognitive impairment.
- To compare the effects of binaural beats in addition to congitive-physical dual-task training on attention in older adults.
- To compare the effects of binaural beats in addition to cognitive-physical dual-task training executive function in older adults.

结局指标
主要结局
Working Memory
时间窗: 8 weeks
The Digit Span test is one of the most commonly used measures of immediate working memory. The testing procedure for the Digit Span task will be done according to the standard administration, that is, strings of digits are read to subjects at a rate of 1 per second and the subject is asked to repeat them orally in the correct sequence (either forward or backward). The test is discontinued if the subject fails two consecutive trials. The total score corresponds to the maximum number of digits the subject can repeat correctly.
Attention
时间窗: 8 weeks
Montreal cognitive assessment will be used. MoCA is a brief 30-question test that takes around 10-12 minutes to complete. A normal score is regarded to be 26 or higher. A score of 18 to 25 is an indicator of mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
Executive function
时间窗: 8 weeks
Trail Making Test (TMT) A and B is a test that measures executive function. TMT is broken into two parts: TMT-A (WM) and TMT-B (EF). Each of the two parts consists of 25 circles scattered across a sheet of paper. Part A contains circles numbered from 1-25, and the individual should connect the numbers by drawing lines in ascending order. Part B contains circles with both numbers (1-13) and letters (A-L); the individual must draw lines to connect the circles in ascending order, with the added challenge of alternating between the numbers and letters (for example, 1-A-2-B-3-C, etc.). Individuals must be encouraged to connect the circles as rapid
