A study on brain function changes in liver disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial looks at how liver cirrhosis affects brain function by studying proteins and gut bacteria. It includes people with and without early signs of brain issues (hepatic encephalopathy). The goal is to better understand these changes and find new ways to help.

This trial uses a powerful 7.0T MRI scanner to look at the brains of people with hepatic encephalopathy, a condition where the liver can't clean toxins from the blood. The goal is to better understand how the brain is affected, which could help improve future treatments.
This study tracks people with liver cirrhosis and healthy volunteers to understand how liver disease affects brain function and memory. You'll use a smartphone app to share health information and complete simple tasks, helping doctors learn how to better diagnose and treat these complications.
This study checks how well your brain and memory work in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It also looks at brain function with special assessments, which may help researchers understand what changes happen with this condition.
This study looks at how well simple brain tests can detect early (minimal) thinking changes related to liver cirrhosis. It may help doctors spot these changes sooner and diagnose the condition more accurately.
This study is creating a new test to measure thinking and memory problems in people with liver cirrhosis. It may help doctors find these problems earlier.
This study uses a simple paper-and-pencil test (PHES) to find early brain changes in people with compensated cirrhosis. It helps catch thinking and memory problems before they become serious.
