Newest Memory Disorders clinical trials
All recruiting trials (15)
-
Neural basis of working memory in people with memory disorders
Researchers will test how brain activity during working memory tasks relates to memory problems by recording brain signals from depth electrodes during seizure monitoring.
-
Spatial scene memory testing for people with temporal lobe epilepsy having surgery
This project tests whether a virtual tour memory task combined with brain recordings can show how adults with temporal lobe epilepsy recognize and recall places.
-
Eye scan to detect Alzheimer’s related protein deposits in adults with memory issues
A screening eye test is being tried in adults with memory problems to see if retinal changes can signal Alzheimer’s-related protein deposits.
-
HOBSCOTCH-MS: Home-based telehealth cognitive coaching for people with multiple sclerosis
This program will test whether a home-based telehealth cognitive coaching program (HOBSCOTCH-MS) can improve thinking, memory, and quality of life for people with MS and reduce caregiver burden.
-
Home-based self-management and cognitive training for brain tumor survivors
This trial will try a home-based cognitive coaching program to see if it improves thinking and quality of life for adults who survived non-glioblastoma brain tumors, with optional caregiver participation.
-
Nutrition-based interventions to prevent cognitive decline
This study is testing if a 6-month nutrition program can help adults at higher risk for dementia keep their thinking skills sharp.
-
Investigating biomarkers related to Alzheimer's disease and cognitive impairment
This study is trying to see how blood tests and brain scans relate to Alzheimer's disease and memory issues in older adults aged 60 to 90.
-
New assessment tool for evaluating memory in Alzheimer's patients
This study is testing a new memory tool for people with Alzheimer's to see if it can better understand their memory issues compared to traditional methods.
-
Optimizing MRI techniques for studying memory disorders
This study is testing new MRI techniques to see if they can help doctors better understand and diagnose memory disorders in patients.
-
Investigation of Alzheimer's predictors in people with memory complaints
This study is trying to see if people with memory problems and positive amyloid tests will develop Alzheimer's disease over the next few years.
-
Tool for assessing memory in older adults
This study is testing a new memory tool for older adults aged 70 and up to see if it can help spot early signs of memory problems, especially in those with or without neurocognitive disorders.
-
Effects of scopolamine on brain activity related to memory in epilepsy patients
This study is testing if the drug scopolamine can change how well people with epilepsy remember things by looking at their brain activity while they do memory tasks.
-
Enhancing memory through amygdala stimulation
This study is testing if stimulating a part of the brain called the amygdala can help improve memory in people with epilepsy who are being monitored for seizures.
-
Understanding brain activity in psychiatric disorders
This study is trying to see how brain activity relates to psychiatric and memory disorders in people with epilepsy to help improve diagnosis and treatment options.
-
Identifying factors that predict loss of autonomy in patients with memory disorders
This study is trying to find out what factors can help predict how changes in memory disorders affect daily life for people with Alzheimer's and similar conditions.
NIH-funded research (3)
Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.
-
Using focused ultrasound to improve memory
This project will try focused ultrasound to improve working memory related to Alzheimer’s and other brain disorders.
-
Using focused ultrasound to improve memory in patients with cognitive disorders
This study is exploring how focused ultrasound can help improve memory in people with cognitive disorders like Alzheimer's, ADHD, and autism, and it's being tested on monkeys first to make sure it's safe and effective before trying it on humans.
-
Targeting an enzyme to improve memory in older adults
This study is looking at how a specific enzyme, PDE11A, affects memory loss as we get older, using mice to learn more about it, with the hope of finding new treatments to help older adults who are having trouble with their memory.
