DEMENTIA WITH LEWY BODIES

This study is testing whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique can improve symptoms like memory loss and confusion in people with Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia, and other related conditions. Researchers will compare the effects of real stimulation to a…

This study aims to find out which of two existing medications works better for reducing distressing hallucinations and delusions in people with Parkinson's disease or Lewy body dementia. It will compare pimavanserin and quetiapine in about 94 patients who need to start treatment …

This small pilot study is testing whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can reduce distressing symptoms like hallucinations, delusions, and agitation in people with Lewy Body Dementia. It also aims to see if this helps reduce the stress and burden…

This study is testing a new type of brain scan to see if it can detect clumps of a specific protein linked to Parkinson's disease, Lewy body dementia, and multiple system atrophy. Researchers will give participants a small amount of a radioactive tracer and then perform a PET/MRI…

This study aims to understand why people with Lewy body dementia experience sudden, unpredictable changes in their thinking and alertness, known as cognitive fluctuations. Researchers will compare brain scans and other tests from 120 participants, including people with dementia a…

This study uses a special brain scan to measure dopamine activity in people with autonomic failure conditions like Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, and Lewy body dementia. Researchers want to see if these scans can detect early changes that might predict which patien…

This study aims to understand if a specific enzyme is less active in people with Lewy body dementia, a type of dementia. Researchers will compare blood samples from 118 patients and 118 healthy volunteers. The goal is to identify a group of patients who might be eligible for futu…

This study aims to understand how the brain and body work together by measuring signals like brain waves, heart rate, and movement. Researchers will compare these signals in 100 people, including healthy individuals and those with conditions like autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, o…

This study aims to create a better prediction model for how memory and thinking problems worsen over time in people with early dementia or mild cognitive impairment. Researchers will collect blood samples, perform brain scans, conduct memory tests, and gather information from clo…
