Alzheimer's Research Studies

CarePRO Virtual Plus is a research project designed to assist individuals caring for someone with memory loss by providing education and skill-training sessions designed to reduce stress, enhance well-being, manage challenges, and plan for the future.

The overarching purpose of this study is to develop non-invasive, painless repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) protocols to prevent cognitive decline in individuals at high risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

EPIC: Living Alone is a research project designed to assist people with early-stage memory loss who are living alone in the community, by providing early-stage education and skill-training sessions designed to reduce stress, enhance well-being, manage challenges, and plan for the future.

EPIC II (Early-Stage Partners in Care) is a research project designed to assist people with early-stage memory loss and their care partners by providing early-stage related education and skill-training sessions designed to reduce stress, enhance well-being, manage challenges, and plan for the future. Researchers will gather feedback from individuals about their experience to continue to improve programs for early-stage memory loss.

The National Institute of Aging (NIA) - Family Based Study - Early Onset Alzheimer’s Disease (FBS EOAD) is a study to understand the genetic factors influencing early-onset Alzheimer disease (EOAD) risk. The study includes individuals with EOAD, mild cognitive impairment, or other dementias. The study also recruits additional family members without dementia or memory problems that are willing to participate.

Arizona State University researchers are seeking volunteers for a study designed to assist caregivers for people with dementia or a decline in thinking abilities using strategies used by dancers and artists to quickly recognize and reduce stress in their bodies.

FIT-AD SMART Trial is a 12-month study that is testing the impact of various exercise types on cognitive and physical outcomes in older

adults with early-stage Alzheimer's disease. A study partner is required to report on quality-of-life measures.

• As more people live to advanced old age it is critical to gain a greater understanding of their health status and functional abilities during their life in relation to aging and cognition as a whole. Knowledge gained from the Longevity Study will have a great impact in our understanding of the continual aging spectrum.
• This study is currently enrolling individuals, who are 50 years old and above who are willing to share information about their life.  There is a wait list to enroll into the study with the oldest individuals called first.
