Filter by:Evaluation of the effects of the K10 probiotic mix in patients with degenerative neurological diseases (Parkinson and Alzheimer's) with a focus on cognitive, motor and psychiatric neurological evaluation. Single-centre, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial (RCT), Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment, phase III study. Two groups will be composed, with two arms each, 1 group composed of patients with Parkinson's and 1 group with patients with Alzheimer's, 52 patients in each group. The first arm of each group will receive placebo and the other arm of each group will receive the mix K10. In this study, researchers will conduct a randomized, placebo-controlled, phase III trial of a probiotic preparation (Probiotic K10) to evaluate its use as a viable treatment option for neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease. of Alzheimer (AD). This formulation has been previously demonstrated to improve cognitive function, systemic inflammation, systemic oxidative stress in Alzheimer's patients. The main objective of this study is to compare its effect with placebo on cognitive status in individuals with AD and PD, the UPDRS total score in people with early PD and quality of life, and the measurement of caregiver burden in AD and PD. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive a placebo (an inactive substance) and a K10 probiotic (dose 2 ml/kg/day). They will be evaluated at baseline, 45 days and 90 days.
The literature suggests a strong association between amyloid accumulation and gamma alterations, emerging gamma activity as a biomarker candidate for Alzheimer's pathology. The present study aims to investigate resting-state gamma activity changes in Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-proven early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD) patients with a holistic approach that employs structural and functional brain neuroimaging techniques, and neuropsychological aspects.
The goal of this clinical trial is to develop and test how reminiscence offered by trained young adult volunteers using a digital storytelling (DST) platform may help older persons with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) to improve their social and emotional well-being. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Whether is this reminiscence and DST based intervention effective in improving social and emotional well-being of older adults with ADRD? 2. Whether do young adult participants improve their social and emotional well-being as well as knowledge and attitudes towards aging after participating this study? Older adult participants in the intervention group will receive 6 sessions of life-review with young adult volunteers and create a DST based on their life review discussion in the last 4 weeks. Older adult participants in the social wellness control group will receive 6 sessions of general talks with young adults and create a non-digital scrapbook or journal at week 7-10. Researchers will compare these two groups to see if participants in the intervention group benefit more on their well-being.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate Kinto's Care Coaching intervention for dementia caregivers. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the intervention help caregivers to address their general caregiving goals Does the intervention help caregivers to address their financial caregiving goals Participants will have access to: One-on-one care coaching sessions (via zoom) Up to 6 weekly support groups with other caregivers A variety of digital resources through Kinto's mobile app Researchers will compare intervention and control groups to see if the program supports caregivers' general and financial caregiving needs. The efficacy of the intervention also will be examined on key outcomes.
Herein, investigated the effects of 4 weeks of H2 gas inhalation on community-dwelling adults of various ages.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a mobile application amongst caregiver's supporting patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD). The main question it aims to answer is: Will caregivers supporting patients diagnosed with ADRD utilize a mobile application to routinely report symptoms of the patients they care for?
This primary purpose of this study will be to (1) examine the feasibility and acceptability of transitional care focusing on care needs of skilled nursing facility (SNF) patients with dementia and their caregivers (primary aim). The secondary purpose will be to describe the effect of the intervention on SNF patient outcomes (preparedness for discharge, quality of life, function and acute care use) and caregiver outcomes (preparedness for the caregiving role, caregiver burden and caregiver distress).
Assistive Technologies (ATs) can help people living with dementia (PwD) maintain their everyday activity. Still, there is a gap between potential and supply. Involving future users can close the gap. But the value of participation from PwD is unclear. The study examined smartwatch interactions from people with dementia or with mild cognitive impairment. Participants received "regularly" (n=20) or "intensively" (n=20) intrusive audio-visual prompts on a customized smartwatch to perform everyday tasks. Participants' reactions were observed via cameras. Users' feedback was captured with questionnaires.
The goal of this non-randomized clinical trial is to assess the effects of strength training in the physical function of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. The main question it aims to answer are: 1. Is a basic strength training enough to improve physical function in AD patients? 2. Is an exercise intervention able to delayed the progression of the disease? 3. Is an AMRAP intervention feasible in AD patients? Participants in the exercise group will perform a 16-weeks program divided in two phases (phase 1: basic strength training; phase 2: AMRAP training). Participants in both (exercise and control) groups will receive their usual care treatments which include occupational therapy, musicotherapy, cognitive stimulation and sensory stimulation.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of implementing blood-based biomarker testing for amyloid positivity designed to aid the early detection of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementia (ADRD) in patients 65+ including the rate that patients and providers follow up abnormal blood-based biomarker testing.
