Memory and thinking changes in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tracks how memory and thinking abilities change over time in adults aged 55 and older. It aims to identify early signs of cognitive decline, which could lead to better prevention and treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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.
This study follows people with normal thinking, early memory problems, or Alzheimer's disease to understand how the brain changes over time. Researchers will use smell tests, blood work, and memory testing to learn more about these conditions and potentially help future treatments.
This study looks at how memory and thinking skills change in older adults living in the Yuyuan community. By taking part, you'll help researchers learn more about brain health in aging, and you'll have free health check-ups like memory tests and brain scans.
This study follows a group of older Chinese adults over time to understand how memory and thinking change with age. It includes people who are healthy, as well as those with mild memory issues or certain dementias.
