Caregiver program study for people with memory problems
This study tests a caregiver support program (PACE/PACENET BHL Caregiver Program) and looks at outcomes over several months. It’s for caregivers of adults with clinically significant memory/cognitive problems, using some past clinical information and follow-up reports.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01453127Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
DaTscan scan for aging and movement brain conditions
This trial uses a special brain scan called DaTscan to study how certain brain conditions change with aging and over time. It may help researchers better understand movement and other neurodegenerative conditions and who may benefit from future treatments.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 40–90 - NCT07402356Recruiting
Virtual reality eye test for thinking problems
This study uses virtual reality and eye-tracking (pupillometry) to measure thinking and memory problems in people with Alzheimer's, mild cognitive impairment, or depression. It aims to find better ways to detect and track cognitive changes using a simple, non-invasive procedure.
München, BavariaAges 18–80 - NCT07422857RecruitingPhase 3
A PET scan for detecting signs of Alzheimer's
This trial uses a new type of PET scan to look for specific proteins in the brain that are linked to Alzheimer's disease. It will help doctors see how these proteins relate to cognitive decline and compare scans from people with normal thinking to those with memory problems.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 50 years+ - NCT07435467Recruiting
Blood tests for brain health in older hospital patients
This trial looks at how blood biomarkers relate to thinking, daily function, and survival in older adults, including those with neurological issues or dementia. It aims to improve understanding and care for hospitalized seniors.
AnconaAges 65 years+ - NCT07454824Recruiting
Aligning medications with what matters most: patient portal trial
This study tests whether a patient portal tool can help older adults with memory problems and their care partners adjust medications to better match their personal goals and values. It is for people who are 65 or older, have mild cognitive impairment or dementia, are taking a medication that may not be ideal for their age, and use the patient portal.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 65 years+ - NCT07482072Recruiting
Brain blood flow and sugar study for Alzheimer's and diabetes
This study uses brain scans to see how blood flow and sugar transport work in people with both Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes. It may help doctors understand how these conditions interact and find better treatments.
HerlevAges 60–90 - NCT07485387Recruiting
Korean cognitive aging study using smartphone app
This study looks at how thinking and memory change as people get older. It uses a smartphone app to track these changes over time in healthy older adults living in South Korea.
Seoul, Select One...Ages 60 years+ - NCT06059313Recruiting
Personality study for people with memory or behavior changes
This study looks at how personality may have changed before the onset of different types of memory or behavior disorders (like frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer's, or bipolar disorder). Researchers will talk with a family member or close friend who knew you well before the illness started.
NantesAges 18 years+ - NCT07387614Enrolling by invitation

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for dementia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 492 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.
