Understanding Lewy Body Dementia Symptoms and Progression
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study follows people with dementia with Lewy bodies to understand how the disease develops and changes over time. Researchers will track your symptoms and use blood tests and brain imaging to learn more about what causes this type of dementia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have at least one main symptom of Lewy body dementia: seeing things others don't see, movement problems like those in Parkinson's disease, trouble concentrating that comes and goes, or acting out your dreams during sleep.
- You do not have other medical conditions causing memory or thinking problems (such as stroke, tumor, or thyroid disease).
- You have not used illegal drugs recently or have a current substance use disorder.
- You are willing to have blood drawn and possibly brain imaging done.

This study looks at a protein called alpha-synuclein in spinal fluid to see if it can help diagnose dementia with Lewy bodies and other related conditions. It may help doctors tell the difference between different types of dementia.
This study tests digital health tools (like sensors or apps) to track symptoms of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) or dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) at home. It may help researchers understand how these conditions progress and improve care.
This study uses an advanced EEG (electroencephalogram) to measure brain wave activity in people with early Alzheimer's, frontotemporal dementia, or Lewy body dementia. It aims to find patterns that could help doctors better understand the disease and predict how it might progress.
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 uses a combination of tests to improve diagnosis of dementia with Lewy bodies compared to Alzheimer's disease and healthy aging. You may help doctors identify the right diagnosis more accurately.
This study looks at how brain changes affect attention and thinking in people with Lewy body dementia. It includes brain scans, an EEG, and a medication option to see if it helps with symptoms.
