Testing speech and memory checks at home for early thinking problems
This study uses a video-based system at home to check your speech and memory, helping doctors spot thinking problems early using artificial intelligence. The goal is to see if this simple, at-home test can reliably catch early memory and thinking changes.
PilsenAges 40 years+ - NCT05597410Recruiting
Study of people at risk for Alzheimer’s in Shanghai
This study follows people who are closely related to someone diagnosed with Alzheimer’s to see who develops memory or brain changes over time. It may help researchers understand risk and early signs, which could guide prevention in families like yours.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 50 years+ - NCT07598617Recruiting
Testing a New Computer Memory Assessment for Early Cognitive Changes
This study evaluates a new computer-based test to detect early memory and thinking changes before they progress to dementia. Researchers are looking for adults 65+ who've noticed subtle cognitive changes in the last 5 years to help refine and test this assessment tool.
Plymouth, DevonAges 65 years+ - NCT06940687Enrolling by invitation
Live Music Benefits for Early Alzheimer's Patients and Caregivers
This study tests whether listening to live music can improve brain function and well-being for people with early Alzheimer's or mild dementia, and their caregivers. You and your loved one would wear sensors to measure brain and heart activity during music sessions.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 50–80 - NCT06120049RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Comparing new PET scans for Parkinson's, MSA, Lewy body dementia, and Alzheimer's
This study tests if a new radioactive tracer called [18F]-MFBG can help doctors better distinguish between Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy (MSA), dementia with Lewy bodies, and Alzheimer's disease. It compares the new scan with two standard scans to see which is most accurate.
Ghent, GentAges 18–85 - NCT06860828Enrolling by invitation
