Quick test study to predict stroke and memory disease outlook
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests quick new methods to measure “slowed actions” in people with stroke or memory-related brain conditions. The goal is to see whether these quick tests can help predict future outcomes and guide care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Aged 40 to 85 years
- Speak French as your native language
- Have Social Security coverage
- Be followed at a University Memory Clinic for one of these: mild memory trouble (MMSE above 19), or Alzheimer-related, Lewy body (MCI/dementia), frontotemporal dementia, or Parkinson-plus/PSP
- Be able to have an MRI scan (no MRI contraindication)
- No major conditions that affect thinking or safety (for example: prior dementia, active epilepsy needing treatment, schizophrenia/psychosis, or serious illness expected to reduce life to under 1 year)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study looks at how thinking and language work in people with certain brain conditions, using a simple word-finding task and brain scans. It may help researchers better understand what brain changes are linked to different symptoms.
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.
This study looks at how to better predict and understand Alzheimer's disease by using advanced brain scans and spinal fluid tests. It aims to find ways to identify people who stay healthy longer despite risk factors.
This study looks at how thinking and memory change after a stroke using short cognitive tests. It may help researchers better understand which brain changes affect thinking, and how to measure them accurately.
This study is testing whether simple blood tests can help doctors better understand the type and progression of memory or thinking problems in people with early dementia. It aims to improve confidence in the diagnosis and future outlook.
