结局指标
主要结局
Change Mean Percentile Score in Digit Span
时间窗: Baseline to Month 6
The primary outcome measure will assess the improvement in cognitive function as evaluated by a cognitive test. Digit Span requires users to focus on displayed numbers, hold them in short-term memory, and repeat them back correctly. Participants received a percentile score (1-100) on the assessment, with a higher score indicating a better response.
Change Mean Percentile Score in Token Search
时间窗: Baseline to Month 6
The primary outcome measure will assess the improvement in cognitive function as evaluated by a cognitive test. Leveraging the brain's executive functioning skills, Token Search requires participants to hold information in working memory and remain focused on completing sequential steps. Participants received a percentile score (1-100) on the assessment, with a higher score indicating a better response.
Change Mean Percentile Score in Double Trouble
时间窗: Baseline and Month 6
The primary outcome measure will assess the improvement in cognitive function as evaluated by a cognitive test. Participants received a percentile score (1-100) on the assessment, with a higher score indicating a better response.
IChange Mean Percentile Score in Feature Match
时间窗: Baseline and Month 6
The primary outcome measure will assess the improvement in cognitive function as evaluated by a cognitive test. Feature Match is a focus and processing task. Participants received a percentile score (1-100) on the assessment, with a higher score indicating a better response.
Change Mean Percentile Score in Grammatical Reasoning
时间窗: Baseline to Month 6
The primary outcome measure will assess the improvement in cognitive function as evaluated by a cognitive test. Grammatical Reasoning is a deductive reasoning task that requires quickly interpreting phrases and making logical conclusions from understanding. Participants received a percentile score (1-100) on the assessment, with a higher score indicating a better response.
