MIND Study for Adults ages 55+ with Memory Concerns
Protocol: STUDY00004064
Full Title
Alzheimer's Therapeutic Research Institute Memory Improvement through Nicotine Dosing or Long-Term Nicotine Treatment of Mild Cognitive Impairment
Description
This study enrolls adults ages 55-90 who have concerns about memory. The purpose of the Memory Improvement Through Nicotine Dosing (MIND) study is to learn whether Nicotine absorbed through the skin through a daily nicotine patch improves attention, learning, and memory in folks with mild cognitive impairment.

You will attend up to 12 visits with the study team over about 2 years. You will wear a skin patch, containing either nicotine or placebo, for about 16 hours per day while participating. A placebo looks like the study drug but has no active ingredients. Neither you or the study team will know which group you are in. Study visits take place at UBMD Neurology outpatient locations in Western New York.
Compensation: No
