MIBG heart scan study for aging and neurologic conditions
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This Phase 4 study tests how an iodine-based heart scan (a special imaging test) works in people with certain neurologic diagnoses and aging-related conditions. It may help researchers better understand the heart-brain connection in these disorders and improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have one of the specific neurologic diagnoses the study is looking for
- Your STMS score is above 10
- Your health is stable right now, with no serious active medical problem that could interfere
- Your medicines have been steady for at least the last 4 weeks
- You are able to avoid certain medicines that can affect the heart scan results
- If you have dementia or severe parkinsonism, a caregiver can stay with you at least 4 hours/day, 5 days/week

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses a special brain scan called DaTscan to study how certain brain conditions change with aging and over time. It may help researchers better understand movement and other neurodegenerative conditions and who may benefit from future treatments.
This study uses advanced brain scans to look at brain chemistry in people with type 2 diabetes, narrowed neck arteries, or early memory problems (MCI or early Alzheimer's). It aims to understand how these conditions affect the brain and may help improve future care.
This early-phase study tests a new PET scan tracer that targets a brain chemical transport system involved in dementia. It aims to see if the tracer can safely and clearly show brain changes, which could help future dementia diagnosis or tracking.
This Phase 2 study tests whether targeting “neuroinflammation” (inflammation in the brain) can help in Alzheimer’s disease and related memory disorders. You may help researchers by doing several brain scans (including a special PET/CT scan) along with MRI and amyloid imaging to understand what’s happening in the brain.
This study uses brain imaging to look for amyloid plaques (abnormal protein deposits) as people age. It may help researchers better understand how these changes develop over time.
This trial is testing a special PET scan that uses a radioactive tracer (18F-mFBG) to see how much it is taken up by the heart. The goal is to help tell Lewy body disease (Parkinson's or Lewy body dementia) apart from other brain disorders.
