Retina scans in memory and nerve disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (age 18 or older)
- You either have a neurodegenerative condition (like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, MS, ALS, etc.) or do not have one
- You can sit still and complete the eye/brain-related testing
- You do not have eye problems that would prevent clear retinal imaging
- You have not had eye surgery in the past, except cataract surgery

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses a type of eye scan (OCT) to look at the retina in people with brain conditions like multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or migraines. It aims to see if these scans can help doctors learn more about the disease and monitor it over time.
This study uses detailed eye imaging (an eye scan) to look for signs related to probable Alzheimer’s disease and mild dementia. It may help researchers understand whether eye scans can reflect brain changes and improve detection.
This study uses a special camera to photograph the back of your eye in detail. Researchers believe changes in the eye may reflect brain diseases like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, and this imaging could help detect these conditions earlier.
This study uses detailed eye imaging to look for patterns that may go along with conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, memory problems, multiple sclerosis, or eye/vascular issues. It may help researchers better understand how eye findings relate to health and disease.
This study uses a special camera (OCT) to take pictures of the retina (the back of your eye) to see if it can detect Alzheimer's disease very early. You may be eligible if you are either cognitively normal or have mild cognitive impairment, and have already had a test for Alzheimer's-related brain changes.
This study uses advanced eye scans (OCT and retinal vessel imaging) to look for patterns in the retina that might be different in people with Multiple Sclerosis and other neuroinflammatory diseases. The goal is to find markers that could help doctors better understand and monitor these conditions.
