Social thinking and driving decisions in young-onset dementia
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with young-onset dementia or frontal brain injury process social cues and make decisions, especially while driving. It may help understand how these conditions affect everyday skills like driving.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be able to speak and understand Dutch.
- You must have a driver's license and some driving experience.
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You must have young-onset dementia (diagnosed before age 65), frontal brain injury, or be a healthy control without serious psychiatric or neurological conditions.
- You must not have severe motion sickness (like getting carsick easily).

This study uses a driving simulator to see how people with mild cognitive problems or dementia perform while driving. If you have a driver's license and are still driving or recently stopped, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how well doctors can spot early signs of certain brain conditions in people who drive. You may join if you have a valid license, are between 18 and 85, and have one of the neurological diagnoses the study is focusing on.
This trial checks a new kind of paper-and-pen (or computer-based) test to better measure thinking and social/behavior skills in people with certain brain diseases. It may help researchers improve how these skills are tracked and understood over time.
This study explores how awareness of oneself and the ability to understand others' thoughts relates to two types of brain diseases: frontotemporal dementia (a disease affecting personality and behavior) and Alzheimer's disease. The research may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve care.
This research study tracks how brain damage progresses in rare neurodegenerative diseases like frontotemporal dementia, primary progressive aphasia, PSP, CBS, and ALS. Researchers use brain imaging and tests to understand how these diseases spread in the brain, which could help develop better treatments.
This study looks at testing (including brain scans) to figure out what type of frontotemporal dementia or related language/speech condition a person has. It may help by making diagnoses more accurate, which can guide better care.
