Cost and health impact study for Alzheimer's in China
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at the financial and health effects of Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) in China. It aims to understand how the disease affects patients and families over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses brain scans or spinal fluid tests to confirm Alzheimer's-related changes. It aims to track the disease over time to better understand and improve care.
This trial tests a drug called donanemab in people who have early signs of Alzheimer's disease (amyloid buildup in the brain) but are still thinking clearly. The goal is to see if the drug can slow or prevent cognitive decline before memory problems start.
This study uses brain imaging to understand early changes in Alzheimer's disease. It may help people with or without memory problems learn more about their condition and support future treatments.
This study follows people who are closely related to someone diagnosed with Alzheimer’s to see who develops memory or brain changes over time. It may help researchers understand risk and early signs, which could guide prevention in families like yours.
This study uses digital tools and blood tests to check for early signs of memory problems in healthy older adults living in the community. The goal is to find people who might be at risk for conditions like Alzheimer's disease before symptoms get worse.
This trial tests whether acupuncture can improve symptoms in people with Alzheimer’s disease. You may qualify if you have memory and thinking changes consistent with Alzheimer’s and meet imaging and brain-scan score requirements.
