Brain Wave Patterns in Early Memory Loss and Dementia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses an advanced EEG (electroencephalogram) to measure brain wave activity in people with early Alzheimer's, frontotemporal dementia, or Lewy body dementia. It aims to find patterns that could help doctors better understand the disease and predict how it might progress.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how brain waves (EEG) change during normal aging and early Alzheimer's disease. It compares three groups: people with early-stage Alzheimer's, healthy older adults, and healthy young adults. The goal is to understand how memory and thinking problems relate to slow brain wave activity.
This study uses a combination of tests to improve diagnosis of dementia with Lewy bodies compared to Alzheimer's disease and healthy aging. You may help doctors identify the right diagnosis more accurately.
This study looks at how brain function changes over time in people with Lewy body disease or Alzheimer's. Researchers will use memory tests, MRI scans, and EEG (a painless brain-wave recording) to track these changes, and you will need a family member or friend to help report on your daily life.
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 early-stage study looks at electrical seizure-like activity in the brain in people with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer’s disease. It aims to understand whether this brain activity is linked to Alzheimer’s and to assess safety and responses.
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.
