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.
