Research

Mayo Clinic staff actively research frontotemporal dementia and related conditions. Researchers study risk factors, causes, diagnostic techniques and treatment options for frontotemporal dementia.

  • The Alzheimer's Disease Research Center is jointly based at Mayo Clinic campuses in Minnesota and Florida. It's one of more than 30 Alzheimer's disease research centers in the United States designated and funded by the National Institute on Aging of the National Institutes of Health.
  • Researchers in the center study frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer's disease and related conditions. You may have the opportunity to participate in clinical trials in the center. Mayo Clinic's campus in Arizona is part of the Arizona Alzheimer's Consortium, a statewide research collaboration.
  • Mayo Clinic researchers are currently coordinating a large National Institutes of Health-funded study called ALLFTD that follows individuals with sporadic and familial frontotemporal dementia and associated conditions.

Frontotemporal dementia

Research: It's all about patients

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Joseph Sirven, M.D., Professor of Neurology, Mayo Clinic: Mayo's mission is about the patient. The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
