Observational Study on Dynamic Light Scattering for Dementia Detection
This study is looking at a non-invasive (no needles or surgery) way to detect dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, by taking measurements from your eye. Researchers will use a technique called Dynamic Light Scattering Spectroscopy, which uses laser light to measure differences in the eye. The goal is to see if this measurement can help diagnose different types and stages of dementia. You may be able to join if you are 18 or older, can have an eye exam, and are medically stable. The study aims to enroll 50 participants.
- Study design
- This is an observational study, meaning researchers will be watching and taking measurements rather than giving a treatment. It plans to include 50 participants.
- What's involved
- You would have a single eye measurement taken, which lasts about 5 minutes, along with an ophthalmic evaluation and testing.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Measurements are taken at a single point in time, so there is no extended follow-up period.

What this trial measures
- Comparison of Dynamic Light Scattering Spectroscopy in DementiasSingle measurement taken over 5 minutes
Dynamic light scattering will be compared between patients with dementias and patients with no cerebral pathology.
