MILD DEMENTIA

This study tests a new, non-invasive treatment called transcranial pulse stimulation (TPS) that uses gentle magnetic pulses on key brain areas. Researchers want to see if it can improve memory and thinking in 10 healthy older adults and 10 people with mild dementia. Participants …

This study tests a 3-week program for older adults (65+) with or without mild dementia and their care partners. Participants get a Fitbit smartwatch, motivational texts, educational videos, and virtual physical therapy to encourage walking and exercise. The goal is to see if this…

This study follows 800 healthy adults aged 50 to 80 over four years to find early biological markers of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will use blood tests, spinal fluid samples, and brain scans to track changes. The goal is to develop a screening tool for the general populatio…

This study adapts the SHARE program, a support intervention for people with early-to-moderate dementia and their care partners, specifically for African-American families. Researchers will test the adapted program with 120 participants to see if it is practical, well-liked, and h…

This study looks at whether pharmacies can help find people with early memory problems and connect them to support. About 1,020 adults aged 60 and older with mild cognitive issues will take a digital memory test at a pharmacy. If results are concerning, they get referred to a doc…

This study aims to help family doctors better detect early signs of Alzheimer's and other dementias. Researchers will test 1,200 adults with memory or thinking problems using simple blood tests and brain scans. The goal is to make accurate diagnosis easier and faster in primary c…

This study is testing whether new blood tests can accurately diagnose the cause of memory problems, potentially replacing the need for more invasive spinal fluid tests. Researchers will compare blood test results with spinal fluid results in 1,200 people being evaluated at a memo…
