Cognitive Assessment Tools for Huntington's Disease.

Cognitive Assessment Tools for Individuals With Huntington's Disease.

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 2 Mar 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The purpose of the current proposal is to expand understanding of two currently available cognitive tools that are not typically used in Huntington Disease (HD) clinical trials that might be useful both for initial screening and for clinical trial application. One is the Coding Test and the other is the Self-Administered Gerocognitive Examination (SAGE). Both the Coding Test and the SAGE have been used for assessments of individuals with other neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease and Lewy Body Disease, but data is lacking on their use in individuals with HD.
