Preliminary Qualifications

  • 50-85 years of age.
  • In good general health.
Schedule a Prescreen

Tau Protein “PET” Detection Study

Preliminary Qualifications

  • 50-90 years of age.
  • Diagnosis of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease.
Schedule a Prescreen

Sensory Stimulation Alzheimer’s “Hope” Study

The main purpose of this study is to see whether daily use of a device called the "Sensory Stimulation System" can help people with Alzheimer's-related memory problems. The device provides sensory stimulation via glasses worn on the face and headphones worn over the ears.

Preliminary Qualifications

  • 50-85 years of age.
  • Diagnosis of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease.
Schedule a Prescreen

Obesity “Triumph-3” Study

Preliminary Qualifications

  • 18 to 80 years of age.
  • Diagnosis of essential tremor.
Schedule a Prescreen

Essential Tremor “Botox” Study

The purpose of this study is to see if the study drug is safe and helps to reduce upper limb essential tremor in adults who experienced persistent, bilateral tremor during movement, involving hands and forearms.

Preliminary Qualifications

  • 18 to 80 years of age.
  • Diagnosis of essential tremor.
