Evaluation of the Effect of L-Arginine on the Cognitive Function in Geriatric Patients

Sponsor: German University in Cairo

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effect of L-arginine supplementation on cognitive function in geriatric patients. Eligible participants will receive either L-arginine (6 grams once daily) or placebo, and their cognitive performance will be assessed using validated cognitive assessment tools over the study period. The participants will receive the intervention for 4 weeks and followed up every 2 weeks. The primary outcome is improvement in cognitive function, while secondary outcomes include safety, tolerability, and quality of life measures. The findings may provide evidence for the potential role of L-arginine in supporting cognitive health in elderly populations.
