Filter by:This pilot study will evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of an adapted version of the Function Focused Care intervention, delivered by telephone, for improving aging in place for older adults living in subsidized housing. The study will include participants with and without mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia and will examine whether the study outcomes differ by cognitive status. Findings from this study will provide new information about how to optimize function and physical activity among older adults with and without cognitive impairment living in subsidized housing.
Cancer survival rates have increased dramatically in recent years. However, many survivors report cognitive decline following treatment, which significantly impairs their quality of life. Online cognitive training programs have shown promise in improving cognitive functions in cancer survivors, but most studies report limited impact of training on everyday function. A complementary treatment approach is functional treatment delivered by occupational therapists, which directly targets daily function. Combining the two approaches has the potential to overcome the limitations of both approaches, enabling improved cognitive functions and transfer to daily function. Remotely-administrated interventions further make treatment accessible and cost-effective. The current study is aimed at testing the efficacy of a novel, combined, remotely-delivered treatment approach: Cognitive Retraining and Functional Treatment(CRAFT), using a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) design. 90 cancer survivors will be randomly assigned to receive 15 weeks of either the combined treatment, computerized training only, or treatment-as-usual. Outcomes will be assessed at completion, and following 3 months of no contact, to test immediate and enduring effects of treatment. Baseline predictors for treatment response will be further assessed. Positive results in the proposed study could potentially change the therapeutic landscape for rehabilitation of cancer-related cognitive decline, which currently impair the lives of millions worldwide.
The objective of this proposal is to advance medication development for alcohol use disorder by examining the efficacy and mechanisms of action of minocycline, a neuroimmune modulator, as a potential treatment. This study has important clinical implications, as the available treatments for alcohol use disorder are only modestly effective and testing novel medications is a high research priority.
This study aims to develop and evaluate new in-home supportive technology that is designed to alleviate anxiety, burden, and loneliness in spousal and familial caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease, other dementias, or mild cognitive impairment.
Evaluation of central nervous system penetration of orally administered Rapamune (RAPA) in older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or early Alzheimer's disease (AD) and investigate associated safety, tolerability, target engagement, cognition, and functional status as initial proof-of-concept study
This study evaluates the feasibility and efficacy of a family-centered songwriting intervention for cognitively-impaired children referred to a palliative care service.
This study evaluated the feasibility of a remote web-based ecological cognitive training protocol to healthy older adults. The training protocol involves 5 training sessions.
The investigators decided to assess the prognostic value of NLRP3 inflammasome level in early after heart valve replacement surgery and whether it was related to postoperative cognitive dysfunction. Study population included 90 subjects. Neuropsychological tests were administrated one day before surgery and seven days after surgery. Before induction of anesthesia, before the end of the operation, 7 days after the operation, peripheral venous blood was sampled to measure IL-1B, IL-18 and NLRP3 inflammatory protein expression in peripheral blood monocytes. Analyze the data and draw conclusions.
Primary objective is to evaluate the neuroprotective effect of T-817MA on Tau protein phosphorylated at threonine 181 (p-tau 181) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) compared with placebo in patients with a diagnosis of MCI due to AD or mild AD. Secondary objectives are: 1. To evaluate in patients on T-817MA and placebo: - cognitive function measured by the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale Sum of Boxes (CDR-sb) and working memory and attention domain as measured by the Cognitive Functional Composite (CFC). - AD-related biomarkers in CSF and plasma - imaging analysis using volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (vMRI) - alpha/theta ratio of the electroencephalogram (EEG) 2. To evaluate the safety of T-817MA by clinical laboratory tests and adverse events (AEs). 3. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of T-817MA
The mSIM study involves developing and conducting feasibility testing of a web-based application that will deliver mobile-based simultaneous exercise and memory skills training program (mSIM) for amnesic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI) patients. The randomized control trial (RCT) will evaluate the efficacy of mSIM on memory performance and everyday functioning using 2 study arms (Group 1 activity monitoring control (via Fitbit) (CON) vs Group 2 mSIM intervention plus activity monitoring via Fitbit). mSIM treatment response will be evaluated using neuropsychological and functional evaluation. Concentration levels of peripheral biomarkers Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and norepinephrine (NE) also be assessed.
