New quick tests may unlock secrets of brain disease
NCT ID NCT05785156
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether new, quick tests that measure how fast people can move can help doctors diagnose brain diseases like Alzheimer's and predict recovery after a stroke. Researchers will test 129 adults aged 40-85 with stroke or memory problems. The goal is to see if these simple speed tests can spot early signs of disease and forecast how well patients will do over time.
