Recruiting studies
- NCT04997642Recruiting
Parkinson’s patient database for memory and movement tracking
This study builds a research database of people who receive care for Parkinson’s disease, including those with mild memory problems or dementia. It aims to collect consistent information that researchers can use to better understand Parkinson’s and related thinking changes.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04844060Recruiting
Study collecting spinal fluid from patients needing a lumbar puncture
This study collects cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid around the brain and spinal cord) during a lumbar puncture. It aims to improve how doctors use this information for accurate diagnosis in patients who need the procedure.
StrasbourgAges Any age - NCT04786223Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing an anti-inflammatory PET imaging treatment in memory loss
This Phase 2 study tests whether targeting “neuroinflammation” (inflammation in the brain) can help in Alzheimer’s disease and related memory disorders. You may help researchers by doing several brain scans (including a special PET/CT scan) along with MRI and amyloid imaging to understand what’s happening in the brain.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 60 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 - NCT03623672Enrolling by invitation
Study for early signs of Parkinson-related brain changes
This study enrolls people with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder, a sleep problem that can come before Parkinson’s disease or related conditions. It aims to better understand early (“prodromal”) changes so future treatments can be targeted earlier.
Sun City, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03233646Recruiting
Retina scans in memory and nerve disorders
This study uses pictures of the back of your eye (retinal imaging) to look for differences in people with neurodegenerative diseases and compares them with people without these conditions. It may help researchers understand eye changes that could connect to brain or nerve health.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT03019757Recruiting
Testing ways to tell dementia causes apart
This study looks at how to distinguish Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy body dementia, and Parkinson’s disease when someone has memory and thinking problems. It may help doctors choose the most accurate diagnosis and treatment path for the right condition.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT00950430Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Brain scan study for amyloid plaques in adults
This study uses brain imaging to look for amyloid plaques (abnormal protein deposits) as people age. It may help researchers better understand how these changes develop over time.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 30–100 - NCT07798700Recruiting
Biofluid research for brain and movement disorders
This study collects blood, spinal fluid, and other samples from people with brain or movement disorders, their family members, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to find better ways to diagnose and understand these conditions.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07849413Recruiting
Visual hallucinations in Lewy body diseases
This study looks at why some people with Lewy body diseases (like Parkinson's or dementia with Lewy bodies) see things that aren't there. It uses brain scans and tests to learn more, which might help improve future care.
New York, New YorkAges 18–90 - NCT07509125Recruiting
Ultra-high resolution PET brain scans for aging, dementia, and psychosis
This study uses a new ultra-high resolution PET scanner to look at brain changes in healthy aging, dementia, ALS, movement disorders, and psychosis. It aims to better understand these conditions and improve imaging techniques.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18–90 - NCT06203106Recruiting
NYSCF Scientific Discovery Biobank
This study collects blood, saliva, or skin samples from people with certain neurological conditions and from healthy volunteers to help researchers better understand and find treatments for these diseases.
New York, New YorkAges 4 weeks+ - NCT03174938Recruiting
BioFINDER 2 study for healthy aging and memory problems
This study uses brain scans and a spinal fluid test to better understand memory and thinking changes in different groups, from people with healthy thinking to early or established dementia. If you qualify, it may help researchers learn what’s driving these conditions and how they progress.
ÄngelholmAges 20–100 - NCT07595666Enrolling by invitation
New PET scanner versus standard PET for head and neck imaging
This study compares a newer PET/CT scanner (called NeuroEXPLORER) with standard PET/CT scanners for imaging the head and neck region. The goal is to see if the new scanner provides better or clearer images to help diagnose conditions.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 4 weeks+ - NCT03402919Recruiting
Brain and memory study for people with thinking changes
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 - NCT06629207Recruiting
AI predicts Parkinson's risk in sleep behavior disorder
This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze brain scans and predict whether people with REM sleep behavior disorder are at risk of developing Parkinson's disease. It aims to find early signs before symptoms appear.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT06337578Recruiting
Telephone-based cognitive screening study
This study tests if a phone-based cognitive screening can effectively assess thinking and memory. It may help people who can't easily visit a clinic.
MilanAges 18–100 - NCT05558709Recruiting
Test for thinking and behavior skills in neurodegenerative disease
This trial checks a new kind of paper-and-pen (or computer-based) test to better measure thinking and social/behavior skills in people with certain brain diseases. It may help researchers improve how these skills are tracked and understood over time.
ParisAges 18–90 - NCT04588285RecruitingPhase 2
Ambroxol for new and early dementia with Lewy bodies
This trial tests whether ambroxol (a mouth medicine) can help people with new or early dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) or mild cognitive impairment linked to DLB. Participants take the medicine for about 18 months while the study tracks safety and changes over time.

AI-enhanced levodopa challenge test for parkinsonism
This study uses artificial intelligence (AI) to improve a standard test for parkinsonism called the levodopa challenge test. It may help doctors better understand how your movement symptoms respond to levodopa, a common Parkinson's medication.
BeijingAges 50–75 - NCT06891703RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET imaging study for Parkinson's and related conditions
This trial uses a new imaging agent (like a dye) to see signs of Parkinson's disease in the brain. If you have Parkinson's or a related condition like Lewy body dementia or multiple system atrophy, this scan may help researchers better understand these illnesses.
SolnaAges 20 years+ - NCT01799915Recruiting
Study of causes and progression of synuclein-related nerve conditions
This study follows people over time to better understand “synucleinopathies,” which are conditions that affect the nervous system as it develops and progresses. You may be asked to return for visits and report symptoms, especially those that happen when you stand up.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for dementia with lewy bodies?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 60 recruiting dementia with lewy bodies 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 dementia with lewy bodies 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 dementia with lewy bodies 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.
