This study uses wrist monitors and blood tests to understand sleep problems in people with Alzheimer's dementia. It aims to improve sleep management through digital therapy and personalized insights.
Beigang, YunlinAges Any age - NCT07763392Recruiting
Normal cognitive test scores for adults
This study is testing a voice-controlled digital platform to measure normal memory and thinking abilities in healthy adults. By participating, you would help create a baseline of normal scores that doctors can use to compare against when assessing people with thinking problems.
Carlsbad, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT07216716Recruiting
Health app recommendation tool for Alzheimer's caregivers
This study tests a tool that helps find health apps for people caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's or a related dementia. It aims to see if the tool makes it easier to choose useful apps for your caregiving journey.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–65 - NCT07465783Recruiting
Music therapy for sleep and calm in dementia care
This study tests whether a music therapist working one-on-one with people who have dementia can help them fall asleep better and stay calmer during the day. It takes place in a locked dementia care unit.
Saint-EtienneAges 60 years+ - NCT05139290Enrolling by invitation
Support for African American families managing dementia care decisions
This study focuses on helping African American people with mild to moderate dementia and their family caregivers make better care decisions together. It also includes people who help with navigating healthcare when dementia care becomes harder.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06403345Recruiting
Green activity program for memory challenges
This study tests a green activity program for people with memory challenges. You and a friend or family member will take part in outdoor activities to see if they help with thinking and well-being.
Bloomington, IndianaAges 45 years+ - NCT03020381Recruiting
Study of walking patterns to predict dementia and falls
This study looks at how your walking (gait) might help predict future dementia and risk of falls. You may be asked to walk tests and have health information collected to see who is at higher risk.
London, OntarioAges 60–85 - NCT03665831Recruiting
Deep TMS for depression and memory problems in older adults
This study tests a type of brain stimulation called Deep TMS to help reduce depression and improve or stabilize memory-related symptoms in older adults with Alzheimer’s disease. It’s mainly for people whose depression did not improve or could not be tolerated with antidepressant medicine.
Toronto, OntarioAges 60 years+ - NCT03702907Recruiting
Study of aging and a brain sample bank
This study follows adults as they age and may collect biological samples for future research. It could help researchers understand early and late changes related to aging and brain health.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 45 years+ - NCT03761381Recruiting
Eye scan study for mild Alzheimer’s and memory changes
This study uses detailed eye imaging (an eye scan) to look for signs related to probable Alzheimer’s disease and mild dementia. It may help researchers understand whether eye scans can reflect brain changes and improve detection.
Portland, OregonAges 55 years+ - NCT03860857RecruitingPhase 3
Study biomarkers in memory aging and brain health
This Phase 3 study looks for blood/brain “biomarkers” linked to aging, memory changes, and early brain degeneration. It may help researchers better identify who is at risk and how biology relates to thinking and memory, using brain scans and thinking tests.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT03946930Recruiting
Study of memory decline in Alzheimer’s disease
This trial studies people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease who are at a moderate stage of decline. It likely involves cognitive (memory/thinking) testing and care-partner input to help track changes over time.
