Brain inflammation and imaging in older adults at risk for dementia
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how changes in the brain (like inflammation) relate to thinking and memory decline in older adults. It uses brain scans and computer tools to find early signs of dementia risk, with the goal of better preventing memory loss.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 to 89 years old.
- You have at least 5 years of formal schooling.
- You have been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or you have subjective cognitive decline (feeling like your memory or thinking is getting worse).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how brain activity relates to thinking problems and whether a cognitive (thinking) assessment and rehab approach can help adults with memory or thinking changes. You may be asked to take thinking tests and complete study activities during rehab.
This trial looks at people over age 50 who have mild thinking or memory problems but do not have dementia by standard clinical criteria. It tests how these early changes are characterized and measured using exams such as blood tests and brain scans, which may help improve understanding and future care.
This study tests a program that combines physical exercises and memory training to help prevent or delay Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. The goal is to see if this combined training improves thinking and memory in older adults with mild cognitive impairment.
This trial tests a program to help maintain or improve memory and thinking skills in older adults. You may join if you are 60-89, speak English, and live at home or in an assisted-living facility.
This trial tests a personalized digital brain training program for people with mild memory or thinking problems. It aims to see if the training can boost cognitive fitness and help maintain your thinking skills.
This trial tests a program designed to keep your brain healthy as you age. It includes lifestyle activities and support, and is for people who may have a higher risk of dementia.
