Aging and Memory Loss Study in China
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how aging affects memory and thinking. It uses brain scans, a spinal tap, and other tests to understand cognitive decline better.

This study looks at how aging affects memory and thinking in Chinese adults. It may help understand conditions like Alzheimer's or other dementias and could lead to better care.
This study builds a new, local set of thinking-and-memory tests for older adults in Macau, using brain scans (MRI) to see how healthy aging looks. It aims to help doctors spot early signs of decline in the future.
This study follows adults 40+ to better understand and track changes in memory and thinking as people age. It groups people with normal thinking, subjective complaints, mild cognitive impairment, early Alzheimer’s, and vascular (blood vessel) related brain changes to find what predicts progression.
This study uses brain scans to understand how older adults (65-80) and younger adults (18-30) learn and generalize information. It may help explain memory changes with age.
This trial looks for new ways to diagnose memory and thinking problems earlier. It involves a memory test, brain scan, and blood draw to find markers that could help identify cognitive disorders.
This study looks at how thinking and memory change as we age. It involves tests, blood samples, and brain scans to better understand cognitive decline.
