Developing a New EEG Method for the Early Diagnosis of Dementia
This study tests whether a standard EEG, a brain-wave recording already used in routine care, can help diagnose dementia. Researchers built new software to analyze the EEG data. They compare recordings from people with Alzheimer's disease and healthy volunteers. It is non-invasive and has no drug. No phase is listed. This is early diagnostic research, not a proven test.
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: • Clinical diagnosis of possible or probable AD (according to revised diagnostic criteria (McKhann et al., 2011, Dubois et al., 2007) Exclusion Criteria: * Significant vascular change on neuro-imaging (Fazekas grading of white matter change >2) (Fazekas et al., 2002). * Clinical history of stroke, Parkinsonism, epilepsy or other neurological disorder. (e.g. severe auditory, visual, language or motor impairment) * Moderate to severe dementia (defined by research team but we wouldn't expect those with a mini mental state exam [MMSE] ≤ 18 to be able to participate) * Severe current mental health disorder (depression, psychosis). * Patients on sedating or antiepileptic medication
