The
Clinical Studies program, directed
by Dr. Jeffrey Kaye, performs
longitudinal studies of the natural
history of Alzheimer's disease
in patients and healthy controls
through standardized neurological,
neuro-psychological, and
brain-imaging assessments. These
assessments are carried out in
the Aging and Alzheimer's
Disease Clinic and the Memory
Assessment Clinic.
The Aging
and Alzheimer's Disease Clinic is
a multidisciplinary clinic offering
comprehensive care to patients
with Alzheimer's disease and
related disorders. The clinic
at Oregon
Health & Science |
University
is staffed
by neurologists, psychologists,
nurses, and a psychiatrist experienced
in providing both initial evaluations
and second opinions, as well
as offering ongoing care for
individuals and families affected
by dementia. Opportunities
for patients and families to
participate in treatment trials
for Alzheimer's disease, research
on genetics, cognitive function,
and family caregiving are offered
through this clinic.
The
Memory Assessment
Clinic at Oregon
Health & Science University
offers comprehensive assessment for
individuals with concerns about
changes in memory and cognition.
Complaints |
of cognitive changes
are not unusual as individuals
age. However, these changes deserve
careful evaluation to differentiate
between readily treatable memory
disorders and progressive dementias.
While
primarily an assessment clinic,
experienced clinicians also
are able to provide counseling
and referrals when appropriate.
Referrals from the patient's Primary
Care Provider are required.
