Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study is designed to evaluate the effects of choline bitartrate on cognitive impairment in frailty patients.

The study will analyze the impact of 4 weeks treatment randomized with a nutraceutical compound in a double-blind randomized placebo controlled trial. The investigators will also assess cognitive frailty.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The patients and controls will be recruited at the Hypertension research center of Federico II university hospital.

The overall duration of the study will be 4 weeks for each participant. Blood pressure, heart rate and cognitive frailty and cognitive impairment will be evaluated for each patient at randomization and after 4 weeks of treatment.

Patients or controls will be randomized to receive the nutraceutical compound (1 vial of CEREBRAIN per os with 1200 mg of choline bitartrate every 24 hours) or placebo (1 vial per os without active substance every 24 hours). Before the start of treatment, patients will undergo full examination of cognitive functions (MoCA and MMSE tests, the parameters will be reported in a password-protected database, using a identification code. The duration of the treatment will be 4 weeks. At the end of the treatment, the patients will repeat the tests and the results will be identified through the use of an alphanumeric code (POST-XXXYYY).

All CEREBRAIN and placebo, made up of the CEREBRAIN vehicle without the active substance, will be offered free of charge by the Farmaceutici DAMOR company.
