White matter changes and brain fluid study in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses special MRI scans to look at white matter changes in the brain (often linked to memory problems). It may help doctors understand more about these changes in older adults visiting memory or geriatric clinics.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older
- You visit a memory or geriatric clinic at one of the three listed hospitals
- You can have an MRI scan (no metal implants, pacemaker, or claustrophobia)
- Your native language is Dutch
- You are not taking benzodiazepines or started an antidepressant less than 6 weeks ago
- You can give your own written consent and have not had brain surgery

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at inflammation-related changes in people with “small-vessel disease” of the brain. It will follow participants over time to understand the condition better and see how brain symptoms may change.
This study uses brain MRI scans to look at white matter changes in people with memory problems (amnestic mild cognitive impairment) or Alzheimer's disease. It aims to understand how these changes relate to memory loss.
This study looks at brain scans and eye/eye-nerve findings to understand why thinking can change with aging. It may help researchers connect eye and brain changes, which could guide future ways to prevent or detect dementia early.
This study tracks people with cerebral small vessel disease (changes in the brain's tiny blood vessels) to learn more about how the condition progresses. It may be a good fit if you are 50 or older and have had an MRI showing these changes.
This study builds a brain imaging biobank for people with “small blood vessel disease” seen on MRI. Your MRI results can help researchers better understand these changes and track new events over time.
This trial looks at people over age 50 who have mild thinking or memory problems but do not have dementia by standard clinical criteria. It tests how these early changes are characterized and measured using exams such as blood tests and brain scans, which may help improve understanding and future care.
