Understanding Repetitive Behaviors in Alzheimer's Disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at repetitive behaviors (like pacing, tapping, or repeating words) in people with Alzheimer's disease. They want to understand these behaviors better, which could help improve care and treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.
- You need a family member or caregiver who can come with you to study visits.
- Your score on a memory test (like the MMSE) should be above 20 out of 30.
- You should not have had alcohol or drug dependence in the past year.
- You should not have had a stroke, head injury, or other brain condition.
- The study compares people with and without repetitive behaviors, so you may or may not have these.

This study follows people with Alzheimer’s disease and family members over 2 years. It uses regular questionnaires and medical checkups to better understand needs and health changes for patients and caregivers.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation treatment called rTMS can improve symptoms in people with Alzheimer’s disease. It mainly looks at people with mild to moderate dementia and checks whether results differ based on how the treatment is applied.
This study tests if repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation technique) can help improve memory and thinking in people with Alzheimer's disease. It may be an option if you are between 55 and 80, right-handed, and have a confirmed diagnosis of Alzheimer's.
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 looks for brain/biological “signals” (biomarkers) that may identify Alzheimer’s disease earlier, including stages before clear symptoms. You may be followed for about 5 years, with repeated memory and thinking testing to see how these signs relate to future diagnosis.
This study looks at how brain waves (EEG) change during normal aging and early Alzheimer's disease. It compares three groups: people with early-stage Alzheimer's, healthy older adults, and healthy young adults. The goal is to understand how memory and thinking problems relate to slow brain wave activity.
