Do you feel your memory has deteriorated lately? Or has someone you know been diagnosed with aMCI?
We’re recruiting participants from Ireland for our study investigating if we can modify brain networks to improve memory in individuals who feel they have increased memory difficulties recently, or for those with amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment, or early-stage Alzheimer's.
What is amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment?
Between 10-20% of people aged 65+ are estimated to have aMCI.
What is amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment?
Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment causes slight, but noticeable changes in regular memory and thinking, which typically won’t impede usual activities of daily living.
Why is this study investigating aMCI important?
Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment is considered a prodrome of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Not everyone diagnosed with Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment goes on to develop AD. However, according to reports by The Alzheimer’s Society and The Alzheimer’s Association, it’s estimated that each year approximately 10-15% of people with aMCI develop dementia (typically, Alzheimer’s Disease).
About this Study
We are recruiting for a clinical trial on memory loss, amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI) and Alzheimer's disease. The study is supported by Trinity College’s Institute of Neuroscience, The Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI), and The Alzheimer’s Association. Additionally, the Alzheimer's Society of Ireland and TeamUp for Dementia Research are supporting recruitment efforts. Our study is investigating whether we can modify brain networks to improve memory in individuals with memory difficulties, or a diagnosis of aMCI or Alzheimer's.
