CORTICOBASAL DEGENERATION

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 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 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 aims to find early markers of Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, and Lewy body dementia by analyzing samples from the nose, blood, and urine. Researchers will compare results from 180 people with these conditions and healthy volunteers. The goal is to improv…

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 …
