Alzheimer's study needs volunteers Individuals with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease may be eligible to participate in a study at the School of Medicine testing the effect of two Alzheimer's drugs -- Reminyl and Aricept -- on sleep and attention. Participants age 60 or older who are not already taking medication for Alzheimer's and who do not have a diagnosed sleep disorder will take either Reminyl or Aricept and wear a watch-like device to assess their quality of sleep. Participants must live with a responsible caregiver who can help fill out sleep logs and questionnaires. Participants will receive five medical assessments within 10 weeks and will be compensated for their time. For more information, call Christy Tomlinson at 286-2364. |
