Memory and aging study for adults age 50 and older
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at memory and thinking in adults as they age. You may be placed in a group with mild cognitive changes or in a group with no cognitive problems, and you will be asked to complete study visits and testing (including an MRI if you’re able).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Do not have major brain/nerve conditions like stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson’s, or dementia
- No serious heart rhythm problems, congestive heart failure, or certain lung disease; also no current cancer

This study is looking at how brain and memory changes show up in people across the Alzheimer’s spectrum—from normal thinking to mild memory problems to Alzheimer’s disease. You might join if you can do study visits and an MRI and have a reliable study partner available.
This study follows adults 40+ to better understand and track changes in memory and thinking as people age. It groups people with normal thinking, subjective complaints, mild cognitive impairment, early Alzheimer’s, and vascular (blood vessel) related brain changes to find what predicts progression.
This trial looks at people over age 50 who have mild thinking or memory problems but do not have dementia by standard clinical criteria. It tests how these early changes are characterized and measured using exams such as blood tests and brain scans, which may help improve understanding and future care.
This Phase 3 study looks for blood/brain “biomarkers” linked to aging, memory changes, and early brain degeneration. It may help researchers better identify who is at risk and how biology relates to thinking and memory, using brain scans and thinking tests.
This study looks at how aging affects memory and thinking. It uses brain scans, a spinal tap, and other tests to understand cognitive decline better.
This study looks at how brain waves (EEG) change during normal aging and early Alzheimer's disease. It compares three groups: people with early-stage Alzheimer's, healthy older adults, and healthy young adults. The goal is to understand how memory and thinking problems relate to slow brain wave activity.
