NCT ID NCT00412048
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to see if a special fMRI scan (fMRI-SAM) could help detect Alzheimer's disease early. Researchers planned to compare brain activity in 25 people with Alzheimer's, 25 with mild memory problems (MCI), and 60 healthy adults. The goal was to find differences that might predict who will develop Alzheimer's later. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled.
