VA hunts for hidden link between head injuries and dementia
NCT ID NCT04124029
Summary
This study aims to understand if Veterans who have had mild to moderate head injuries are at higher risk for developing dementia later in life. Researchers will compare 800 participants—some with past head injuries, some with early memory concerns, and some healthy—by testing their memory, analyzing brain wave activity, taking brain scans, and checking spinal fluid for proteins. The goal is to find early signs that could predict who might develop dementia and when it might happen.
