Test for thinking and behavior skills in neurodegenerative disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial checks a new kind of paper-and-pen (or computer-based) test to better measure thinking and social/behavior skills in people with certain brain diseases. It may help researchers improve how these skills are tracked and understood over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your basic thinking screening score (MMSE) is 20 or higher
- You are able and willing to agree to participate on your own
- You have a diagnosed brain disease such as frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer’s, or Lewy body dementia
- You do not have other major brain or mental health conditions that could affect testing

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study explores how awareness of oneself and the ability to understand others' thoughts relates to two types of brain diseases: frontotemporal dementia (a disease affecting personality and behavior) and Alzheimer's disease. The research may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve care.
This study looks at how Alzheimer's disease and similar conditions affect social and emotional thinking. Researchers will use brain scans and questionnaires to understand these changes better.
This study tests if a phone-based cognitive screening can effectively assess thinking and memory. It may help people who can't easily visit a clinic.
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.
This study evaluates a new computer-based test to detect early memory and thinking changes before they progress to dementia. Researchers are looking for adults 65+ who've noticed subtle cognitive changes in the last 5 years to help refine and test this assessment tool.
This study looks at testing (including brain scans) to figure out what type of frontotemporal dementia or related language/speech condition a person has. It may help by making diagnoses more accurate, which can guide better care.
