This study compares two medicines—quetiapine and pimavanserin—in people with psychosis caused by Parkinson’s disease or Lewy body dementia, looking at how they work over time. You might join if you are starting an antipsychotic for the first time and your clinician can safely manage either option.
This trial tests a study drug called ML-007C-MA to see if it can safely reduce hallucinations and delusions in people with Alzheimer's disease who also have psychosis. If you or your loved one has Alzheimer's and has been experiencing false beliefs or seeing/hearing things that aren't there for at least two months, this study may be an option.
This study uses a special PET brain scan tracer to better understand serotonin receptor activity in people with certain neurodegenerative conditions, especially when they develop hallucinations or delusions. The results may help researchers improve how these brain changes are measured and tracked over time.
This study tests a medication called pimavanserin to see if it helps reduce impulse control problems (like compulsive gambling or eating) in people with Parkinson's disease. If you struggle with these behaviors, this treatment might bring relief.
This study looks at how your past experiences and expectations might influence visual hallucinations if you have Parkinson's disease. It involves cognitive tests and compares people with and without hallucinations, as well as healthy volunteers.
