Corticobasal degeneration disorder

This study aims to find the best cutoff values for key Alzheimer's-related proteins in spinal fluid and blood to improve diagnostic accuracy. Researchers will compare results from Alzheimer's patients, those with mild memory problems, people with other dementias, and healthy olde…

This study is testing a new blood test called the AD-seeds-detector that looks for specific protein clumps linked to Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will compare the test results from 1,500 people aged 55-75, including those with Alzheimer's, other dementias, and healthy individ…

This pilot study tests whether listening to music in the evening can help people with Alzheimer's disease or related disorders fall asleep faster and behave more calmly. Researchers will compare music therapy to audiobooks in 48 adults living in secure care units. The goal is to …

This pilot study tests whether scrambler therapy, a device that uses mild electrical signals on the skin, can reduce nerve pain in people with corticobasal syndrome (CBS). Twenty-five adults with CBS and moderate-to-severe pain will be randomly assigned to receive either scramble…

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS, applied while people walk, can improve motor skills like gait, speech, and eye movements. Twenty adults with progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, or Parkinson's disease will rec…

This observational study follows 500 people with atypical parkinsonian syndromes, including multiple system atrophy, dementia with Lewy bodies, progressive supranuclear palsy, and corticobasal degeneration. Researchers track motor and non-motor symptoms and imaging changes every …

This study follows 600 people with neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and related conditions over 1 to 10 years. Researchers collect data from routine clinical exams, brain imaging, movement analysis, and blood tests. They use statistical tools and artif…

This long-term study follows people with or at genetic risk for frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), a group of brain disorders that cause changes in behavior, language, and movement. Researchers will use brain scans, memory tests, and blood samples to measure how the diseas…

This study uses advanced PET scans and blood tests to examine brain inflammation and white matter damage in people with corticobasal syndrome, a rare movement and thinking disorder. Researchers will compare these brain changes across different subtypes of the condition and agains…

This study looks at whether new, quick tests that measure how fast people can move can help doctors diagnose brain diseases like Alzheimer's and predict recovery after a stroke. Researchers will test 129 adults aged 40-85 with stroke or memory problems. The goal is to see if thes…

This study follows nearly 3,000 people, including healthy adults and those with memory or movement problems, to learn how brain diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's develop. Researchers use advanced brain scans and tests to track changes over time. The goal is to improve ear…

This study is gathering information from 700 people with Parkinson's disease or similar conditions who experience freezing of gait—a sudden inability to move their feet while walking. Researchers will track symptoms, walking patterns, and falls over three years using questionnair…

This study collects DNA from up to 1,000 adults with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal syndrome (CBS), multiple system atrophy (MSA), or related conditions, plus their family members. Researchers will sequence participants' whole genomes to find genetic variants …
