Brain imaging study for people with diabetes, carotid narrowing, or early memory loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses advanced brain scans to look at brain chemistry in people with type 2 diabetes, narrowed neck arteries, or early memory problems (MCI or early Alzheimer's). It aims to understand how these conditions affect the brain and may help improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must be 18 or older (most groups have no upper age limit, but the memory group is 60–80).
- Must be able to lie still in an MRI scanner for at least one hour.
- Must not have claustrophobia (fear of tight spaces) or any metal implants, pacemakers, or other devices that are not MRI-safe.
- Must not be pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a BMI over 30.
- Must not smoke, use recreational drugs, or drink heavily.
- For diabetes group: have type 2 diabetes treated with lifestyle changes or non-insulin pills.
- For carotid narrowing group: have at least 50% narrowing of a neck artery.
- For memory group: be 60–80 years old, have a diagnosis of MCI or early Alzheimer's, and speak German fluently.

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 looks at how people who previously took part in a diabetes prevention program are doing over time, including brain health using MRI scans for some participants. It may help researchers understand who is at higher risk for memory and thinking problems and why.
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 is looking for older adults (60–90) who are either cognitively normal, have mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or have mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's dementia. It aims to see how digital tests and blood-based markers relate to brain scans (amyloid and tau PET). You will need a study partner, undergo MRI and PET scans, and give blood samples.
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 looks at how type 2 diabetes affects blood flow in the brain and thinking ability. It compares people with diabetes to those without, and may help understand how to protect brain health.
