Study brain recovery after abscess using memory and brain scans
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how thinking and energy levels change after a brain abscess. It may help researchers understand what affects recovery and fatigue, using thinking tests and brain imaging/brain-wave checks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have finished your treatment for a brain abscess
- You agree to join the study
- You are age 16 or older
- You can take part in thinking/memory testing
- You can safely do brain scans inside a scanner (FDG-PET) and can handle it despite claustrophobia
- You can do brain-wave testing (EEG) without panic attacks

This study uses a special brain scan (PET) to look at why people feel very tired or have trouble thinking clearly after a stem cell transplant. It aims to better understand these problems to help future patients.
This trial uses brain scans to understand why people with long COVID feel very tired or have trouble thinking clearly. It could help find new treatments for these symptoms.
This trial looks at the causes of fatigue and cognitive problems (like memory or concentration issues) after a stem cell transplant. It uses old PET scans to study possible damage in the brain.
This study uses brain imaging to measure two things in the brain—amyloid protein and how the brain uses sugar. It may help researchers better understand early brain changes in people in the ALFA project.
This study looks at how autoimmune encephalitis affects brain metabolism using a special PET scan. It aims to better understand the condition in people who were recently diagnosed.
This extension study looks for predictors—measurable clues—linked to memory changes in older adults who feel their memory is worsening. You may be asked to have an amyloid PET scan, which can help researchers understand what might be driving memory concerns.
