Studying sleep problems in early Alzheimer’s risk patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at sleep problems in people with mild Alzheimer’s disease and whether sleep measurements and questionnaires can help researchers understand early changes. You may be able to join if your diagnosis is mild and you can complete repeated sleep and thinking questionnaires with a family caregiver’s help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have mild Alzheimer’s disease (Mini-Mental “thinking” score between 21 and 30)
- You are not taking, or have stable use for at least 3 months, Alzheimer medicines like donepezil-type drugs or memantine
- You are not taking antidepressant or anti-anxiety medicines, or you stopped at least 15 days ago
- You have a family caregiver willing to help you complete questionnaires, thinking tests, and daily sleep diaries
- You can attend all study visits and complete the required questionnaires and tests
- You live in a setting with access to French social security (France)

This study looks at how sleep and wake patterns change in people with early Alzheimer’s, and whether these changes relate to memory and thinking decline. You may be asked to do questionnaires, sleep diaries, and possibly a diagnostic spinal fluid test (lumbar puncture) to measure biomarkers.
This study is looking for people with or at risk for Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers. It aims to track risk factors and improve diagnosis using a combination of tests and tools.
This study looks at how well people with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) perform on standardized memory/brain tests. It may help researchers understand changes over time, and whether certain types of brain signals or test results track with the condition.
This study follows people with Alzheimer’s disease and family members over 2 years. It uses regular questionnaires and medical checkups to better understand needs and health changes for patients and caregivers.
This study compares two sleep tests in people with no symptoms or very early signs of Alzheimer's disease. The goal is to see if sleep patterns can help detect Alzheimer's early.
This study looks at how “slower movement” and brain changes relate to memory and thinking problems in people with early dementia (and some related conditions). It may help researchers understand what brain differences go with these symptoms, using tests and an MRI scan.
