Testing social skills in Huntington's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests three different ways to measure social skills (like understanding emotions or reading social cues) in people with Huntington's disease. The goal is to find which test works best for future research and care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a doctor's diagnosis of Huntington's disease (HD).
- Your genetic test must show a CAG repeat count of 40 or higher.
- You cannot have dementia or a low score on memory tests (MOCA or MMSE below 19).
- You cannot have other neurological conditions (like Parkinson's, epilepsy, or MS).

This study uses smartphone and wearable sensors to track movement and thinking in people with Huntington's disease. It aims to find better ways to measure how the disease progresses in clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with Huntington's disease (HD) remember past events and imagine future ones, and how their eye movements relate to these abilities. It may help us better understand thinking and memory changes in HD.
This study uses special brain imaging and memory/thinking tests to find early “markers” that can predict how Huntington’s disease will progress over time. You may qualify as someone with early-stage Huntington’s or as a healthy control, if you meet specific safety and scoring requirements.
This study uses wearable sensors and a mobile app to track movement and other symptoms of Huntington's disease over time. It aims to see if digital tools can measure disease progression better than clinic visits alone.
