About this study
Official title: A Study of Language Intervention Training for Cognitive Protection in High-risk Cardio-Cerebrovascular Elderly Population
The global population is aging rapidly, with the number of elderly people with dementia projected to rise sharply, posing significant challenges to quality of life and societal burden.Frequent language switching, such as in interpreting, enhances cognitive abilities by improving attention, flexibility, and memory.Dialect-switching training, similar to interpreting, is a non-invasive method that shows potential for promoting cognitive health in the elderly but remains under-researched.This study aims to investigate the cognitive-enhancing effects of a dialect-switching training program on older adults with vascular risk factors through a six-month intervention.
Read the detailed description
The global population is aging rapidly, with those aged 65+ expected to reach 16% of the total population by 2050. Aging is linked to increased cognitive impairment risks, including dementia prevalence rates of 5%-10% among the elderly in developed countries. In China, the number of elderly with dementia is projected to soar from 7.4 million to 18 million by 2030 without intervention. This trend poses significant challenges to quality of life and societal burden.
Language experiences, particularly frequent switching between languages, enhance cognitive abilities. Interpreting, which demands high-intensity language switching, significantly improves cognitive control and memory. Interpreters' need for rapid language conversion and reliance on attention, flexibility, and inhibition contribute to their cognitive advantages.
Similar to interpreting, switching between dialects and standard language requires high-frequency, high-intensity language conversion. This non-invasive training method is suitable for promoting cognitive health in the elderly. However, its potential benefits for cognitive enhancement in this population remain underexplored.
This study aims to design a dialect-switching training program simulating interpreting and investigate its potential cognitive-enhancing effects through a six-month intervention in older adults with vascular risk factors.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Dialect Interpreting TrainingBehavioural
The intervention group will receive a combination of offline and online language-switching training. The offline intervention will last for 2 months, with three training sessions per week, each lasting 1 hour. The training content will simulate the interpreting process, requiring participants to switch and convert rapidly and accurately between two dialects, covering multiple aspects including listening comprehension, oral expression, and information processing. The online intervention will last for 4 months, during which participants will regularly complete exercises through a language training app or website and upload their assignments.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Dialect Interpreting Training in people with Vascular Cognitive Impairment No Dementia, run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Min Lou, PhD, MD (057187783777, lm99@zju.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Changes in brain functional network connectivity assessed by resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Mar 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
