Alzheimer's assessment study with brain scans
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer's disease.
- Your Alzheimer's diagnosis must have happened at age 60 or older (no early-onset Alzheimer's).
- You cannot have a brain tumor, serious head injury, past brain surgery, or other brain diseases like Parkinson's or ALS.
- You cannot have inflammatory or autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS).
- You must be able to have MRI and EEG scans safely.

This study uses brain scans, blood tests, and genetic information to find early signs of Alzheimer's disease before memory problems start. It aims to predict who might develop Alzheimer's in the future.
This study enrolls people with no memory impairment, mild memory problems, or mild Alzheimer’s dementia to test how brain scans and cognitive tests relate to Alzheimer’s disease. It may help by contributing to better early diagnosis and by letting you see whether you fit into the study’s imaging and blood-test pathway.
This study at Duke University is looking for people aged 25 to 80 who may be at risk for Alzheimer's disease. It involves brain scans (MRI and PET) and a spinal tap to learn more about the disease and find better ways to detect and treat it early.
This study screens people aged 60–80 for early signs of Alzheimer's disease in a community setting. Researchers will ask you questions and may perform brain imaging to understand who might benefit from early detection and treatment.
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 checks how age affects memory and thinking, and compares people with mild memory problems, Alzheimer’s disease types, vascular dementia, and healthy controls. You may help researchers understand brain changes using thinking tests, MRI scans, and blood or spinal fluid tests.
