Study stress effects in people at risk for Alzheimer’s
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how stress may affect thinking and memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) who are at risk for Alzheimer’s disease. You may be asked to do thinking tests and also involve a knowledgeable person who can report on changes over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 60 or older
- Speak English fluently and be able to consent for study activities
- Have mild cognitive impairment (MCI), with thinking/memory changes but not dementia
- Have an informant (a knowledgeable person) who can join screening and visits for you
- Be willing to return for follow-up visits over 2 years

This study tests a new medication, CORT108297, that may help protect the brain from the harmful effects of stress in people at risk for Alzheimer's disease. It is looking for adults age 55 and older who either have mild memory problems or are healthy but have a family history, APOE4 gene, or memory concerns.
This study tests a brain stimulation approach (TBS) to see if it can improve thinking and memory in people with mild cognitive impairment. It may also explore why it works by looking at brain-related measurements after TBS.
This study uses a computer-based platform to test memory and thinking in healthy adults and in people with mild memory concerns (called aMCI). The goal is to better understand how memory changes with age and to spot early signs of Alzheimer's disease.
This study follows people with normal thinking, early memory problems, or Alzheimer's disease to understand how the brain changes over time. Researchers will use smell tests, blood work, and memory testing to learn more about these conditions and potentially help future treatments.
This trial tests a program that combines mental exercises with stress management techniques for adults who have mild memory or thinking problems and feel stressed. It aims to improve quality of life and slow down memory decline.
This study uses brain imaging (MRI) and controlled stimulation to understand how normal aging and stress affect memory and thinking, including how people navigate. It may help researchers learn what changes in the brain happen over time and with stress.
