Mild Cognitive Impairment Research Study
The University of Missouri is looking for women diagnosed with or experiencing symptoms of mild cognitive impairment to take part in a study investigating how the factors we think may influence pain are related over time.
Fast Facts
Diagnosed with/experiencing symptoms of MCI
Women ages 18+
Compensation Provided
Conducted in Columbia, MO
Study Background
Researchers at the University of Missouri are conducting studies with women who are diagnosed with/experiencing symptoms of MCI to learn more about how the factors we think may influence pain are related over time.
The University of Missouri is looking for women ages 18+ who are diagnosed with or experiencing symptoms of mild cognitive impairment (frequent memory lapses, difficulty with tasks, changes in mood or behavior, etc.) to participate in a study investigating the temporal relationships between our hypothesized mediators and pain.
Eligible participants will complete study visits involving questionnaires, interviews, MRI, and watch pick-up.
Eventually, the findings of this study might be useful for designing ways to treat pain.
