Electronic vs paper test for liver brain condition
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares using an electronic version of a short thinking test with a traditional paper test to diagnose hepatic encephalopathy, a brain condition caused by liver disease. It aims to make diagnosis easier and more accurate for patients with cirrhosis.

This study compares two ways of testing thinking and memory in people with liver cirrhosis. It aims to see if a tablet-based test is as good as the standard paper version for detecting early signs of confusion (hepatic encephalopathy).
This study uses a set of paper-and-pencil thinking tests (called PHES) to detect a mild form of brain fog that can occur with cirrhosis, known as minimal hepatic encephalopathy. The goal is to help doctors identify this early so it can be managed before it becomes more serious.
This study is creating a new test to measure thinking and memory problems in people with liver cirrhosis. It may help doctors find these problems earlier.
This study looks at how well simple brain tests can detect early (minimal) thinking changes related to liver cirrhosis. It may help doctors spot these changes sooner and diagnose the condition more accurately.
This study looks at how liver disease affects the body's fluids and gut bacteria, especially when a person has a mild form of liver-related confusion called hepatic encephalopathy. It may help doctors find better ways to detect and treat this condition.
This study looks at people with liver cirrhosis to learn more about a condition called hepatic encephalopathy, which can cause confusion and memory problems. It aims to improve how doctors find and treat this condition.
