The ADD-Me Roster: a registry for those interested in brain health or Alzheimer's research

Do you have problems with your thinking or memory? Or a parent or sibling with dementia? If so, we'd like you to join this registry about the brain and Alzheimer's disease. In return for providing us with a little bit of your health history and background, we will connect you with researchers doing studies you can join, without obligation. Many studies pay a stipend and some offer a possible treatment.

Phase 2b Study to Assess Efficacy and Safety of Batoclimab in Adult Participants with Active CIDP

The purpose of this study is to see if batoclimab is safe and helps people with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), an autoimmune disorder. Batoclimab is also known as IMVT-1401. Batoclimab is injected under the skin (subcutaneously) and targets the immune system.

Parkinson's Disease Motivation Study

Are you someone living with Parkinson's disease? If so, you are aware that in addition to symptoms affecting movement, people with Parkinson's disease also experience non-motor symptoms such as problems with mood and motivation which can be difficult to treat. If you have been living with Parkinson's disease for at least 5 years and take medication for Parkinson's disease, you may be eligible to participate in a research study aimed at treating low motivation with a form of non-invasive brain stimulation called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
