Study of new spinal-fluid tests for Alzheimer’s disease
This study looks at new test markers found in spinal fluid to help with diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease. If you are already getting a spinal-fluid sample as part of your dementia workup, this trial may check it for additional information.
Nancy, Grand EstAges Any age - NCT06335836Recruiting
Social connections and brain health in memory decline
This study looks at how being socially isolated or socially active affects memory and brain health in people who feel their thinking is getting worse. You may join if you notice a slow decline in memory or thinking, but otherwise have normal test results.
Nanjing, China, JiangsuAges 45–85 - 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 - NCT06375213Recruiting
Memory and thinking study for all ages
This study looks at how well people think and remember as they age. It includes healthy volunteers, people with mild memory issues, and those with dementia—both early- and late-onset.
Pathum Wan, BangkokAges 35 years+ - NCT07839650Recruiting
Brain stimulation and memory training for mild Alzheimer's disease
This study tests whether a painless brain stimulation technique (called tACS) combined with computer-based memory exercises can improve thinking and memory in people with mild Alzheimer's disease. Participation involves using the stimulation device at home with the help of a trained caregiver.
Brescia, BresciaAges 18 years+ - NCT07835399Recruiting
Light therapy for mild cognitive impairment and mild Alzheimer's disease
This trial tests if shining a special light through the scalp and nose can help people with mild memory or thinking problems. It aims to slow down memory decline and improve daily life.
BeijingAges 50–85 - NCT05877391Recruiting
Collecting sexual and gender identity information in hospice
This study tests an approach to collect and use sexual orientation and gender identity (often called “SOGI”) information for people receiving hospice care. The goal is to help hospice teams better understand and support patients’ needs.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07827196Recruiting
Brain stimulation for behavior changes in early Alzheimer's
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) can help reduce troubling behavioral and psychological symptoms (like agitation or anxiety) in people with early Alzheimer's disease. Participants continue their usual medication and receive either real or fake stimulation to see if it improves symptoms.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 45–84 - NCT06472674Recruiting
Healthy Aging Study for Older Adults
This study is looking at healthy aging in older adults who live in the community. It involves completing a survey to help researchers understand how people age well.
BeijingAges 60 years+ - NCT06487130Recruiting
Australia menopause registry study
This study is building a registry to better understand and support Australians going through perimenopause or menopause. By joining, you help researchers learn about the experiences and needs of people in this stage of life.
AdelaideAges 18 years+ - NCT06444841Recruiting
Memory aids for mild memory loss
This study tests whether using a paper-based or smartphone-based memory support system helps people with mild memory problems remember daily tasks. You and a family member or friend will both participate.
Austin, TexasAges 50 years+ - NCT07805967Recruiting
Study of rare parkinsonian conditions
This study follows people with certain rare brain conditions that affect movement and thinking, such as multiple system atrophy, dementia with Lewy bodies, progressive supranuclear palsy, and corticobasal degeneration. It aims to learn more about how these conditions progress over time, which may help improve future care.
Changshu, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07803055Recruiting
Blood test for early signs of Alzheimer's disease
This study looks at tiny particles in the blood that may show early signs of Alzheimer's disease. It aims to help with earlier diagnosis and monitoring, which could lead to better care and treatment opportunities.
RomeAges 55–80 - NCT07799402Recruiting
How gut and brain health change with age
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut are linked to brain health as you age. It includes people with normal memory, mild memory problems, or Alzheimer's disease, and aims to find ways to keep brains healthy as we get older.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03657745Recruiting
40 Hz light and brain training for Alzheimer’s
This trial tests whether a combination of 40 Hz light stimulation and cognitive (thinking) therapy can improve symptoms in people with Alzheimer’s disease. It may help by stimulating the brain and training thinking skills, while carefully checking eye and seizure history.
Miami, FloridaAges 50 years+ - NCT06534658Recruiting
Brain Imaging Study for Dementia and MCI
This study uses advanced brain scans (MRI and molecular imaging) to get a clearer picture of dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It aims to learn more about how the brain changes in these conditions, which could help improve diagnosis and treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50–85 - NCT07775833Recruiting
Mushroom supplement to slow memory decline in at-risk adults
This trial tests whether eating mushrooms regularly can help prevent memory loss in people who are at higher risk for Alzheimer's disease but do not have dementia. If you are between 45 and 80, have some memory concerns, and currently eat mushrooms rarely, this study may be a good fit.
SingaporeAges 45–80 - NCT06567431Recruiting
Blood and tears in alzheimer's disease
This study looks at different fluids from the body, like blood and tears, to find better ways to diagnose and track alzheimer's and related dementias. It compares people with these conditions to healthy volunteers to see what biological markers differ.
CopenhagenAges 30 years+ - NCT07758660Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Brain scan study for Alzheimer's research
This study uses brain scans (PET) to look at changes in the brain that may be related to memory problems or Alzheimer's disease. It aims to improve understanding of the disease and may help develop better treatments.
New York, New YorkAges 50 years+ - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for dementia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 488 recruiting dementia 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 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 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.
