Cognitive Stimulation Program in AIDS

NCT00619567 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 60

Last updated 2013-12-10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

There has been little success in treating the cognitive (thinking) problems associated with HIV/AIDS using medications. The purpose of this study is to determine whether an internet-based cognitive "stimulation" program might help HIV-infected individuals think more clearly. If this is true, then it means that people with mild forms of cognitive impairment may be able to help themselves to get better.
