Clinical trials
Part of Mayo Clinic's commitment to its patients involves conducting medical research that can help people live longer, healthier lives. Clinical trials are research studies that involve volunteer participants. These studies help physician-scientists better understand, diagnose, treat and prevent diseases and conditions.
Mayo Clinic's clinical trials related to brain aging and memory include studies of Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, aging biomarkers and other topics.
Mayo Clinic also has thousands of other active clinical trials and research studies, and it coordinates national and international clinical trials with other medical institutions from around the world.
