Testing short memory screening tools for older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study is testing two short versions of a cognitive screening tool (the MoCA) to see how well they detect early memory and thinking problems in older adults. Participants simply complete a few paper-and-pencil tasks, without any drugs or treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You cannot have a major psychiatric, neurological, or cognitive condition (such as schizophrenia, intellectual disability, or a recent stroke within the last 3 months).

This study evaluates a new computer-based test to detect early memory and thinking changes before they progress to dementia. Researchers are looking for adults 65+ who've noticed subtle cognitive changes in the last 5 years to help refine and test this assessment tool.
This study is testing a quick questionnaire that helps doctors check for changes in thinking and memory in older adults. It aims to make sure the screening tool works well for Turkish-speaking seniors.
This study uses a computer-based platform to test memory and thinking in healthy adults and in people with mild memory concerns (called aMCI). The goal is to better understand how memory changes with age and to spot early signs of Alzheimer's disease.
This study is testing whether simple digital memory tests and blood tests can help find people who might qualify for anti-amyloid treatments (medications that target Alzheimer's-related proteins). It aims to make screening easier and faster, without needing a spinal tap or PET scan.
This study is testing a new version of a memory and thinking test (called MoCA) to see how well it works for Greek-speaking adults. The goal is to help doctors better identify memory problems in people who might have mild cognitive impairment or dementia.
This study is developing a new memory test for people with mild memory problems. It aims to better detect early changes in memory that might lead to Alzheimer's disease.
