Physical Training and Cognitive Activity on the Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) Patient (EPAC-M)

August 13, 2015 updated by: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice

Physical Trainig and Cognitive Activity on the MCI Patient

Regular physical activity is now recognized as a key element of good physical and mental health and this all ages.

MAIN GOAL : Evaluate the effectiveness of physical training associated with a cognitive training in improving the cognitive function of patients diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).

DESIGN : Controlled randomized monocentric and prospective study with clinical benefit for the patient with three groups : one physical training and cognitive exercise group, one physical training without cognitive exercise group and one control group.

In agreement with the literature on the effects of physiological stress on cognitive performance, the investigators expect the best cognitive test scores in groups with exercise training compared with controls (35% versus 80% error), and better scores on the MMSE, IALD, depression Scale, Index of Pittsburg sleep quality and quality of Life Questionnaire. Furthermore the investigators hypothesize that this positive effect is greater in the physical training and cognitive exercise group compared with the physical training group only.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Placebo Comparator: control group
Other: control group
no physical training and no cognitive activity
Active Comparator: Physical activity group
Other: Physical training (EP group)
The patients of the group (EP) will realize 2 weekly sessions of 20 minutes of pédalage.
Experimental: Physical and cognitive activity group
Other: Physical Training and cognitive activity (EPC group)
The patients of the EPC group will realize 2 weekly sessions of 20 minutes of pédalage. During the exercise, the patients will realize a series of tests of decision-making and perceptive cognitive capacity.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
effectiveness of physical training
Time Frame: up to 3 months
Assess the effectiveness of physical training associated with a cognitive training in improving the cognitive functions of patients diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). We expect the best cognitive test scores in groups with exercise training compared with controls (35% versus 80% error), and better scores on the MMSE, IALD, depression Scale, Index of Pittsburg sleep quality and quality of Life Questionnaire.
up to 3 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cognitive improvement
Time Frame: up to 3 months

Assess the cognitive improvement after three months and after cessation of the intervention.

Assess the impact of the intervention on the cognitive and behavioral, 3 months after cessation of training with maintenance of physical activity by patients.
up to 3 months
