Folsom, CaliforniaAges 65 years+ - NCT07602283Recruiting
Music to Help with Pain and Memory Problems
This study tests whether listening to music can help reduce pain and improve thinking in people with early memory loss or mild dementia. Researchers will monitor brain activity, heart rate, and pain levels while you or your loved one participate in music sessions.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 50–80 - NCT07604896RecruitingPhase 4
Lecanemab for early Alzheimer's disease with amyloid buildup
This trial tests lecanemab, an infusion medicine that targets amyloid protein buildup in the brain, in people with mild cognitive impairment or mild Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will track how well it works and study how it affects your body's proteins using advanced lab tests.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 50–90 - NCT07625241Recruiting
Brain and Movement Training for Mild-to-Moderate Dementia
This study tests two types of training—cognitive (brain) and movement exercises—for people with mild-to-moderate dementia. The goal is to see if these activities together can help improve thinking, memory, and physical function.
Genova, GenovaAges 65 years+ - NCT07672171Recruiting
Far-infrared therapy for Alzheimer's dementia
This study tests whether far-infrared therapy (a gentle heat treatment) can help people with Alzheimer's dementia. If you have mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's on medication, you may be able to join.
TaipeiAges 61–92 - NCT07558785Enrolling by invitation
Testing speech and memory checks at home for early thinking problems
This study uses a video-based system at home to check your speech and memory, helping doctors spot thinking problems early using artificial intelligence. The goal is to see if this simple, at-home test can reliably catch early memory and thinking changes.
PilsenAges 40 years+ - NCT07314190Enrolling by invitation
Blood tests for brain diseases and mental health conditions
This study looks at blood tests to help diagnose and track brain diseases (like Alzheimer's) or mental health conditions. It compares patients to healthy volunteers to find better ways to detect and monitor these illnesses.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07239843Enrolling by invitation
Study of blood markers and mental health in brain diseases
This study looks at how social factors and blood markers relate to psychiatric symptoms in people with brain diseases or mental disorders. It aims to find new ways to understand and diagnose these conditions.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07238439Enrolling by invitation
VR game for dementia education in nursing students
This trial tests if a virtual reality game helps nursing students learn about dementia care. It is designed for students at Universitas Airlangga who have not used similar VR dementia programs before.
Surabaya, East JavaAges Any age - NCT07238049Enrolling by invitation
Real-world dementia outcomes: an observational study
This study follows people with memory or thinking problems over time to learn more about how these conditions progress. It's an observational study, meaning no new treatments are tested—just information is collected from your regular care.
BangorAges 45 years+ - NCT07222605Enrolling by invitation
MemorEM device study for brain diseases
This study tests a device called MemorEM to see how it works for people with brain diseases that cause memory and thinking problems (like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS). It aims to understand your experience with the device.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 45–100 - NCT07019441Enrolling by invitation
Learning daily care strategies for dementia caregivers

Study for early RBD as a possible Parkinson’s risk
This study looks at people with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), confirmed by a sleep test, who may be in the early “prodromal” stage before Parkinson’s or related diseases. It also enrolls healthy controls to compare results from brain and body testing to better understand who is at risk.

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.
