Brain and memory study for people with thinking changes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at memory and thinking changes using questionnaires, memory testing, and brain scans. It may help researchers better understand neurodegeneration and dementia and how these problems show up over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have noticed thinking or memory problems, either yourself (subjective) or on tests (objective)
- You can give informed consent (or a legally allowed caregiver/family member can, where permitted)

This study checks how age affects memory and thinking, and compares people with mild memory problems, Alzheimer’s disease types, vascular dementia, and healthy controls. You may help researchers understand brain changes using thinking tests, MRI scans, and blood or spinal fluid tests.
This study follows people with normal thinking, early memory problems, or Alzheimer's disease to understand how the brain changes over time. Researchers will use smell tests, blood work, and memory testing to learn more about these conditions and potentially help future treatments.
This study looks at how brain activity relates to thinking problems and whether a cognitive (thinking) assessment and rehab approach can help adults with memory or thinking changes. You may be asked to take thinking tests and complete study activities during rehab.
This study looks at how well people with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) perform on standardized memory/brain tests. It may help researchers understand changes over time, and whether certain types of brain signals or test results track with the condition.
This trial tests a program to help maintain or improve memory and thinking skills in older adults. You may join if you are 60-89, speak English, and live at home or in an assisted-living facility.
This study looks at how common mild cognitive impairment and dementia are in people staying in rehabilitation units for heart, lung, or orthopedic problems. It aims to understand memory and thinking issues that may be overlooked in these settings.
