Brain scan study for memory problems
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a special MRI to look at brain stiffness in people with normal memory, mild memory problems, or Alzheimer's disease. The goal is to see if this scan can help tell the difference between these groups.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses brain scans (MRI and EEG) to better understand Alzheimer's disease. It compares people with MCI or Alzheimer's to healthy volunteers to see how the disease affects the brain.
This study uses MRI brain scans and memory tests to help detect early Alzheimer’s disease. It compares people with Alzheimer’s (diagnosed by a clinician) with people without memory problems to see which scan and test results stand out.
This study uses brain scans (PET) to look at changes in the brain that may be related to memory problems or Alzheimer's disease. It aims to improve understanding of the disease and may help develop better treatments.
This study uses advanced brain scans (MRI and molecular imaging) to get a clearer picture of dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It aims to learn more about how the brain changes in these conditions, which could help improve diagnosis and treatment.
This study uses brain scans to find a marker for Alzheimer's disease. It is looking for people with normal memory, mild memory problems, or mild Alzheimer's, and who can undergo a spinal tap and MRI.
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.
