Memory and eye movements in Huntington's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Mental health 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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 or older).
- You have been diagnosed with Huntington's disease through a genetic test.
- You are in the early or middle stage of HD (motor UHDRS score above 5 and a specific thinking test score between 6 and 13), or you have no motor symptoms yet (motor UHDRS score 5 or less).
- You are willing to give written permission (or have a third party give permission) to join the study.
- You are covered by a health insurance plan.

This study tests new ways to measure thinking and memory skills in people with Huntington's disease. It aims to find better tools for tracking the disease and could help you understand your cognitive changes.
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 looks at specific “biomarkers” (measurable signs) found in cerebrospinal fluid, to better understand Huntington’s disease. The results may help researchers track the disease and improve future tests or treatments.
This trial uses a hinting task to study how people with Huntington's disease understand indirect requests. It may help researchers learn more about social thinking in this condition.
This study uses repeat brain scans (including PET and MRI) to track changes in the brain caused by Huntington’s disease over time. It may help researchers understand disease progress and test how well the scans reflect early vs later disease.
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.
