Social and emotional thinking in Alzheimer's
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how Alzheimer's disease and similar conditions affect social and emotional thinking. Researchers will use brain scans and questionnaires to understand these changes better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a new assessment tool designed to measure how executive functions (planning, organization, problem-solving) contribute to language and meaning difficulties in people with memory changes. The tool may help doctors better understand cognitive impairment.
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 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.
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 extension study looks for predictors—measurable clues—linked to memory changes in older adults who feel their memory is worsening. You may be asked to have an amyloid PET scan, which can help researchers understand what might be driving memory concerns.
This study uses special thinking and brain-scanning tests to understand how “social thinking” may change in people with certain types of epilepsy. You might benefit by having a detailed evaluation during your planned pre-surgery workup.
