Effect of Art Therapy on Cognitive and Hand Functions of Alzheimer's Patients
This trial tests whether art therapy, such as mandala painting, collage, clay modeling and drawing, changes thinking skills and hand function in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's. Fifty adults will do 60-minute sessions twice a week for 8 weeks, compared with a group doing nothing. It has no drug phase; it is a small study of a non-drug activity.
You may qualify if
- Being 60 years of age or older
- Having a diagnosis of mild or moderate Alzheimer's disease
- Possessing the physical and cognitive capacity to participate in art therapy interventions
- Providing informed consent
You're excluded if

- Having a physical disability that prevents the use of the upper extremities
- Being unable to participate in the intervention due to visual or hearing impairments
