Dementia in stories and real-life medical cases
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with early Alzheimer's or mild memory problems understand stories compared to healthy adults. Your participation could help researchers learn more about how dementia affects thinking and language.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer's or mild memory problems by a neurologist (or you are a healthy volunteer of similar age and education)
- You can talk and understand basic language
- You are willing to take part in the study
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study follows people with memory or thinking problems over time to learn more about how these conditions progress. It's an observational study, meaning no new treatments are tested—just information is collected from your regular care.
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 is a study that enrolls people with mild Alzheimer’s-related memory problems or dementia to help build a research “neurobank.” It also involves memory testing and may include brain scans, with a stable caregiver to support follow-up.
This study looks at memory and thinking changes using questionnaires, memory testing, and brain scans. It may help researchers better understand neurodegeneration and dementia and how these problems show up over time.
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 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.
