Circadian rhythm factors in people with memory clinic concerns
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how daily body-clock timing (circadian rhythm) and other factors may relate to memory and thinking symptoms in memory clinic patients. You may be asked to wear a small device for about 9 days to track your daily patterns.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether improving sleep and increasing exercise can help people with mild memory changes. You'll wear a Fitbit and a sleep headband and use a stationary bike.
This observational study follows people with (or at risk for) Alzheimer’s-related brain changes and a comparison group without them. It uses clinic visits, cognitive testing, questionnaires, and possibly a spinal fluid test to better understand brain biomarkers and how they relate to thinking and daily life.
This study tests a new way to check cognitive (thinking and memory) health using a simple headband that measures electrical signals on your scalp. It is looking for people 65 to 90 years old, with or without memory concerns, and a family member or friend who can also take part.
This study creates a practical tool to measure “episodic memory,” which is your ability to recall events from daily life. It includes adults age 70+ with different memory levels, to see how well the tool works for people with dementia and for those without.
This study tests a 3D tool (like a special clock) to help people with Alzheimer's keep track of time. You may be eligible if you have mild to moderate Alzheimer's and trouble with time orientation.
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.
