We are currently recruiting individuals for several studies! If you are interested in one or more studies below, please reach out to the lab by sending an Email to Stephanie Neaves or calling 214-865-9508.
Alzheimer’s Association Funded Biomarker Study
This study is currently enrolling adults having amnestic mild cognitive impairment to better understand the later-in-life effects of concussion. We are hoping to learn whether a concussion might influence memory performance and the presence of pathological markers involved in Alzheimer’s disease during aging. Participants enrolled into the study will complete one or two visits, depending on a person’s schedule, consisting of a neuropsychological evaluation, blood draw, and cerebrospinal fluid lumbar puncture.
National Institute of Aging Funded Biomarker Study
This study is currently enrolling adults having amnestic mild cognitive impairment to better understand if a concussion might influence the brain circuitry and levels of proteins found within blood to learn about the potential long-term effects of concussion. Participants enrolled into the study will complete a total of ten visits over a 1-3 month period, consisting of a blood draw, brief cognitive testing, and multiple sessions of different low level noninvasive brain stimulation applications.
Department of Defense Funded Clinical Trial
This study is currently enrolling adults having amnestic mild cognitive impairment with a remote history of traumatic brain injury to understand if a novel noninvasive brain stimulation device may lessen difficulties in episodic memory and other thinking skills. Participants enrolled into the study will complete a total of twelve visits, ten within two weeks, consisting of 10 sessions of either active or sham treatment while relaxing and then brief cognitive testing.
Alliance of Women in Alzheimer’s Research Funded Clinical Trial
This study is currently enrolling adults having Alzheimer’s dementia to learn if multiple sessions of noninvasive brain stimulation may lessen the difficulties in episodic memory and other thinking skills that develop with the condition. Participants enrolled into the study will complete a total of twelve visits, ten within two weeks, consisting of 10 sessions of either active or sham treatment while relaxing and then brief cognitive testing.
Texas Alzheimer’s Research and Care Consortium Funded Clinical Trial
This study is currently enrolling adults having amnestic mild cognitive impairment with word-finding difficulties to learn if a novel noninvasive brain stimulation device may be a potential treatment for the thinking difficulties. Participants enrolled into the study will complete a total of twelve visits, ten within two weeks, consisting of 10 sessions of either active or sham treatment while relaxing and then brief cognitive testing.
