{"type":"trials","record":{"id":34887,"source_id":"clinicaltrials-gov","external_id":"NCT07550335","title":"Group Reading and Oral Exercise Program for Older Adults","brief_summary":"Depression is common among older adults and is often associated with declines in physical and oral health. Non-pharmacological, community-based interventions are needed to support both mental and physical well-being. This study examines the effects of a program combining group-based reading activities and oral exercises in community-dwelling older adults. Participants are randomly assigned to either an intervention group, which receives the six-week program, or a control group receiving general oral health education. The study evaluates whether the intervention can improve physical and oral function, enhance psychological resilience (grit), and reduce depressive symptoms.","overall_status":"Not Yet Recruiting","phases":[],"study_type":"INTERVENTIONAL","sponsor":"Mackay Memorial Hospital","enrollment":60,"countries":[],"start_date":"2026-04-23","completion_date":"2027-12-31","last_update_date":"2026-04-24","source_url":"https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07550335","editorial_summary":"A registered study indexed because it matched monitored longevity research terms.
