  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) is a brain disorder causing memory and thinking problems. It's the second most common after Alzheimer's disease (AD). Diagnosing DLB is tough because it can look different in each person. Doctors use special tests called biomarkers to help diagnose it. Biomarkers can be brain scans like MRI, tests of brain waves called EEG, or blood tests. This study is looking at how using a combination of these tests could improve DLB diagnosis.

The study will take place over 24 months at a hospital in France, involving 130 people: 50 with DLB, 50 with AD, and 30 healthy controls. Participants will have EEG tests and brain scans. The goal is to find the best mix of tests for diagnosing DLB using machine learning, a type of computer program that helps find patterns in data.

  • Study lasts for 24 months with several tests involved.
  • Participants include those with DLB, AD, and healthy controls.
  • Focuses on improving diagnosis with new technology.

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
