Deep TMS for Comorbid Depression and Cognitive Impairment in Older Adults
This study looks at a special type of brain stimulation, called Deep TMS, for people over 60 with both depression and early Alzheimer's or memory problems. It's for those whose depression hasn't improved with usual treatments. We want to see if it's safe and helps with mood.

Cognitive Changes After Major Joint Replacement - Full Trial (Cognigram 2)
This study looks at how memory and thinking skills (cognition) change after hip or knee replacement surgery. Researchers want to understand these changes better, identify who might be at higher risk, and find ways to improve recovery. It focuses on changes that might last longer than a few months.

Cardiac Amyloid Deposits and Heart Dysfunction in Alzheimer's Disease
This study looks at a possible link between heart problems and Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will use special scans to see if a protein called amyloid, found in Alzheimer's, also builds up in the heart. This could help diagnose both conditions better.

Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative 4
ADNI4 is a research study building on previous work to better understand Alzheimer's disease. It involves looking at memory, brain scans, and blood tests in people with normal memory, mild memory problems, and dementia, to find better ways to detect and treat these conditions.

Exploring Feasibility, Acceptability and Impact of Using Neurofeedback with Persons with Mild Cognitive Impairment
This study is looking into new ways to help people with mild memory and thinking problems. It's testing if special 'neurofeedback' methods, which use brain activity, are safe, helpful, and easy to use. The aim is to see if these methods can improve memory, mood, and behaviour.

Cortical Disarray Measurement in Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer's Disease
This study investigates a new imaging technique, Cortical Disarray Measurement (CDM), to improve the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease in people with memory problems. It aims to see if CDM can identify early changes and how these relate to memory over two years, helping us better understand and diagnose Alzheimer’s.

Implementing Dementia Care Management Into Routine Care in the Region Siegen-Wittgenstein
This study in Germany is looking at how to make a special type of care, called Dementia Care Management, available to more people with memory problems and their families. It will follow 60 people to see if this care helps them and if it can be easily used in everyday healthcare.

Development of a Database to Investigate Digital and Blood-Based Biomarkers and Their Relationship to Tau and Amyloid PET Imaging in Older Participants Who Are Cognitively Normal (CN), Have Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), or Have Mild-to-Moderate AD Dementia
This study looks for early signs of Alzheimer's disease by examining blood, brain scans, and digital information. It aims to find new ways to spot the disease before it gets worse, especially in people with memory problems or those who are still healthy.

Thinking About Memory: How Confident Are You in Your Memory, and Does it Change With Age?
This study explores how older adults think about their own memory abilities. It compares people with and without diagnosed memory problems to understand how confidence in memory changes with age and different memory tasks, which could help with earlier diagnosis of conditions like dementia.
