This study looks at memory and thinking changes using questionnaires, memory testing, and brain scans. It may help researchers better understand neurodegeneration and dementia and how these problems show up over time.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 50–90 - NCT04114994Recruiting
Memory testing study for adults 50 and older
This study checks how people’s thinking and memory change over time using a specific cognitive test. It may help researchers understand patterns of memory change and supports future research on brain health.

This study follows people with mild cognitive impairment or dementia and their family caregivers over time. It aims to learn more about how these conditions progress and how to improve care, especially for those living in Bavaria.
AschaffenburgAges Any age - NCT04855630Recruiting
Sleep and mild exercise program for thinking and memory support
This study tests whether combining better sleep routines with mild exercise can help with memory, concentration, and thinking speed. To do that, you would wear special devices and complete quick at-home and in-person assessments and a small finger-prick blood test.
Miami, FloridaAges 45–80 - 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 - NCT06230783Recruiting
Speech test for early Alzheimer's detection
This trial uses speech pattern analysis to detect early signs of Alzheimer's. If you're already in a Wisconsin Alzheimer's study, you may help test if your voice can reveal memory changes.
Madison, WisconsinAges 40–80 - NCT03890861Recruiting
Exercise program to help lower Alzheimer’s risk
This trial studies whether a structured group exercise program can help lower Alzheimer’s disease risk in older African Americans. You would be assigned to a group by chance and asked to attend regular sessions if it’s safe for you to exercise.
Baton Rouge, LouisianaAges 60 years+ - NCT06147999Recruiting
Biophoton therapy for brain disorders
This trial tests a biophoton therapy, a light-based treatment, for people with brain disorders. It aims to see if this non-invasive approach can help improve symptoms.
Butler, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04335994Recruiting
Home sleep testing for people with memory trouble
This study looks at how well home sleep apnea testing works for people with cognitive impairment (memory/thinking problems) to help improve outcomes. You may be asked to do a home sleep test (and possibly an in-lab test) and will involve a caregiver if needed.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT05733520Recruiting
Telehealth coaching for Alzheimer’s caregivers using a phone
This trial tests a mobile telehealth program designed to help unpaid caregivers reduce Alzheimer’s-related symptoms in the people they care for. If you’re a primary caregiver, you may get study sessions using a smartphone or similar device.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05785156Recruiting
Quick test study to predict stroke and memory disease outlook
This study tests quick new methods to measure “slowed actions” in people with stroke or memory-related brain conditions. The goal is to see whether these quick tests can help predict future outcomes and guide care.
AmiensAges 40–85 - NCT07303998Recruiting
Brain stimulation and chair yoga for knee pain in Alzheimer's
This study tests two treatments together for people with Alzheimer's who also have chronic knee pain: a gentle brain stimulation (tDCS) and online chair yoga. The goal is to see if these can reduce knee pain and improve daily life.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 60 years+ - 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 - NCT06529744Recruiting

This study is testing whether simple blood tests can help doctors better understand the type and progression of memory or thinking problems in people with early dementia. It aims to improve confidence in the diagnosis and future outlook.
North York, OntarioAges 30–95 - NCT07347574Recruiting
Early Alzheimer's detection study in Hong Kong communities
This study aims to find early signs of Alzheimer's in the community through blood tests and assessments. It's for people who can think clearly and agree to participate without major health issues.
Hong KongAges 60–75 - NCT06784830Recruiting
Nursing care for Alzheimer's patients during PET/CT scans

PET scan study of tau buildup in memory and brain disorders
This Phase 3 study uses a PET/CT scan to measure whether a brain protein called tau (and related disease patterns) builds up in different dementia conditions. The goal is to better match which disorders have which brain changes and how they progress.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for alzheimer’s disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 595 recruiting alzheimer’s disease studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a alzheimer’s disease trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a alzheimer’s disease trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
