Evidence date ·In adult day care, seated movement practice meets tests of everyday function
Clinical TrialA dementia trial compares seated exercise and hand-worn tracking with routine activities, assessing daily function. No results are posted in the registry.
-
Evidence date ·What would online meditation ask of people with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia?
Clinical TrialA UK study plan describes weekly classes, daily practice and measures of participation, satisfaction, cognition, sleep and mood; the registry lists no posted results.

Evidence date ·How the brain’s wakefulness system connects disrupted sleep with Alzheimer’s disease
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2025 review explores orexin’s role in sleep and Alzheimer’s. Findings in people conflict, and sleep benefits do not establish slower disease progression.
-
Evidence date ·An early Parkinson’s study follows movement, balance and thinking
Clinical TrialTracked over timeAn observational study compares proposed Parkinson’s patterns through walking tests, imaging and biomarkers, while individual prognosis remains untested.
-
Evidence date ·What do body-first and brain-first Parkinson’s labels reveal?
Peer-Reviewed PaperTracked over timeResearchers linked early sleep and autonomic symptoms to later Parkinson’s progression, while showing why group findings are not an individual prognosis.
-
Evidence date ·Why unexplained nerve damage is being studied for early Parkinson’s
Clinical TrialTracked over timeAn observational study compares heart-nerve scans and sleep in people with unexplained nerve damage, with five-year follow-up planned and no registry results posted.
-
Evidence date ·How a planned China study would connect memory, health and daily life
Clinical TrialA proposed China cohort would compare people across ages and connect memory, health and daily-life measures to inform future aging services.
-
Evidence date ·How sleep, brainstem imaging and body signals could clarify early disease
Clinical TrialTracked over timeA recruiting observational study pairs 50 people with REM sleep behavior disorder with 50 controls to test brain, sleep, protein and body signals.
-
Evidence date ·How repeated brain, sleep and clinical measurements may clarify Parkinson’s risk
Clinical TrialTracked over timeA Milan observational study follows people with longstanding REM sleep behavior disorder through yearly brain, sleep and clinical measurements.
-
Evidence date ·How a human study will link brain imaging to later diagnoses in REM sleep behavior disorder
Clinical TrialTracked over timeA registered 20-person study plans brain imaging and follow-up to test AI predictions of Parkinson’s risk in REM sleep behavior disorder; no results are posted.
