Official title
Mindful Meditation to Reduce Stress and Cognitive Load for Older Adults
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Older adults from disadvantaged backgrounds may score lower on memory and thinking tests because of test anxiety and stress, not because of true memory problems. This can lead to being wrongly diagnosed with dementia. This study will test whether a short, 15-minute guided meditation before taking a memory and thinking test helps older adults do better on the test and feel less stressed. About 60 adults age 50 and older, with lower education and income levels, will take part. Participants will be randomly assigned to either listen to a guided meditation or listen to a neutral story for 15 minutes before taking the test. The study will measure stress using heart rate, blood pressure, saliva samples, and a stress questionnaire.
