SUBJECTIVE COGNITIVE DECLINE

This study tests whether a special omega-3 supplement called Lysoveta can deliver more DHA to the brain than standard fish oil. Researchers will measure DHA levels in spinal fluid and blood, along with memory and thinking tests, in 153 older adults with early signs of memory decl…

This study is testing whether new blood tests can accurately diagnose the cause of memory loss or dementia, potentially replacing the need for a spinal tap. Researchers will compare blood test results with standard spinal fluid tests in 1,200 people at a memory clinic. If success…

This study aims to make it easier for family doctors to detect early signs of Alzheimer's and other dementias. Researchers will test 1,200 adults with memory or thinking problems using blood tests and brain scans. The goal is to see if these tools can accurately identify who has …

This study tests whether artificial intelligence can predict cognitive test scores by analyzing how people tell a story. 150 adults aged 50 and older will describe a picture while their speech is recorded. The AI will look for patterns in voice and language, and researchers will …

This study tests whether regular aerobic exercise can prevent or slow memory decline in older adults (ages 50-80) who have memory complaints but no dementia. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an aerobic exercise program or a stretching and toning group for six mont…

This pilot study explores whether a music-based dance program can improve thinking skills and physical function in adults aged 55 and older with mild cognitive impairment. The dance routines combine music, partner guidance, and spatial coordination to challenge memory and attenti…

This study tests whether a virtual reality (VR) app used at home with remote therapist guidance can improve memory, attention, and social skills in people with early memory decline (Subjective Cognitive Decline and Mild Cognitive Impairment). 480 adults aged 40-80 will either use…

This study tests whether internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can reduce depression and slow cognitive decline in older adults who survived an ICU stay. About 300 participants aged 50+ with depressive symptoms will receive either online CBT or standard depression edu…

This study tests a rideshare service where drivers are specially trained to assist older adults, including those with Alzheimer's or memory problems. The drivers help riders from door to door, even handing them off to clinic staff. The goal is to see if this service reduces misse…

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) can improve memory and thinking in older adults who have memory concerns and a family history of Alzheimer's. About 30 people aged 55–70 will receive either re…

This study looks at how older adults who worry about their memory may use extra brain power to stay mentally sharp. Researchers will give a medication that temporarily affects a brain chemical to see how attention networks respond. The goal is to understand these compensatory bra…

This study is creating a new computer-based cognitive assessment to help detect Alzheimer's disease in its earliest stages. Researchers are working with memory nurses and older adults to design the test and a training course for nurses. 120 older adults with memory concerns will …

This study tests whether eating walnuts daily for a week can improve thinking and memory in adults who feel their memory is slipping. Participants will eat either walnuts or a white chocolate bar each day, then switch after a break. Researchers will measure brain function and gut…

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…
