Study of diabetes prevention participants using brain scans
This study looks at how people who previously took part in a diabetes prevention program are doing over time, including brain health using MRI scans for some participants. It may help researchers understand who is at higher risk for memory and thinking problems and why.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges Any age - NCT03152630Recruiting
Vascular dementia check-up and risk diagnosis study
This study aims to find early ways to diagnose “vascular dementia,” which happens when blood vessel problems affect thinking and memory. It may help by testing how well certain health risk factors and medical information can predict who might be developing it.
TaipeiAges 65 years+ - NCT06733714Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus memory training for older adults
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical current applied to the scalp (tACS) combined with computer-based brain exercises can improve memory and thinking in older adults who have concerns about their cognitive health.
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de JaneiroAges 50 years+ - NCT04114994Recruiting
Memory testing study for adults 50 and older
This study checks how people’s thinking and memory change over time using a specific cognitive test. It may help researchers understand patterns of memory change and supports future research on brain health.
Miami, FloridaAges 50 years+ - NCT06010511Recruiting
White matter changes and brain fluid study in older adults
This study uses special MRI scans to look at white matter changes in the brain (often linked to memory problems). It may help doctors understand more about these changes in older adults visiting memory or geriatric clinics.
LeidenAges 65 years+ - NCT06298474Recruiting
BRAIN App for dementia support
This study is testing a new app (BRAIN App) designed to help people with dementia stay connected and engaged. Researchers want to see if the app can be useful for older adults who can still communicate and have not had a recent fast decline in health.
Winchester, MassachusettsAges 65 years+ - NCT06993207Recruiting
Home brain monitoring study for cognitive decline
This study uses a special EEG headband to monitor brain activity at home in older adults. It aims to understand cognitive decline, including Alzheimer's and mild memory problems, and compare results with healthy volunteers.
Zaragoza, ZaragozaAges 60 years+ - NCT04916210Recruiting
Study how stroke type affects thinking and recovery
This study looks at what predicts memory and thinking problems after different types of stroke or brain bleeding, and how blood-vessel changes relate to recovery. You may be invited if you recently had a stroke/bleed and can complete a baseline check within 6 weeks.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05079464Recruiting
Exercise plus brain stimulation to improve memory in early impairment
This trial tests whether a supervised exercise program, paired with brain stimulation, can improve thinking and memory in people with early “vascular” cognitive problems (not dementia). It may help your brain function before memory loss becomes more severe.
Toronto, OntarioAges 50 years+ - NCT07771335Recruiting
