View clinical trials related to Cognitive Dysfunction.
Filter by:In heart failure patients, neuropsychological disorders have been prospectively linked to frequent hospitalizations, recurrent cardiac events, and mortality. Cognitive dysfunction is also a frequent comorbidity in heart failure (HF) patients. The benefit of cardiac rehabilitation between patients with cognitive dysfunction and patients without cognitive dysfunction is unknown. Investigators hypothesize that patients with cognitive dysfunction benefit more from cardiac rehabilitation programs than patients without cognitive dysfunction.
Background: The primary purpose of our study was to understand the damage in the peripheral nerves of patients with diabetes and to determine the change in patients' reaction rates and perceptions by the age groups, duration of diabetes, fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c values, and compare these with those of the healthy individuals. Methods: This study was carried out at the Baskent University Hospital Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases Outpatient Clinic. A total of 64 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and 64 healthy controls were included in the study. Finger tapping, visual, and auditory reaction time tests were performed on the subjects, respectively. The subjects' fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c levels, and the duration of their diabetes were recorded. Analyses were performed using the SPSS version 25. Differences were considered statistically significant when the p-value is <0.05.
To determine the efficacy of a dual-task tai ji quan training therapy in reducing the incidence of falls in older adults with mild cognitive impairment.
The primary aim of this pilot study is to investigate the effect of Walkasins, a wearable lower-limb sensory prosthesis, on the gait speed and balance function of participants with mild cognitive impairment as measured by the Saint Louis University Mental Status (SLUMS) Examination.
Most experts advocate for early detection of cognitive impairment (CI) so that patients and caregivers can be prepared for making difficult decisions and to improve quality of life, but studies show that screening alone isn't sufficient to change clinician actions related to early detection. Using predictive modelling developed with machine learning methods and sophisticated clinical decision support (CDS) tools, it is possible to identify patients at elevated risk for CI and make it much easier for primary care to engage and support patients and caregivers in meaningful care planning. The goal of this study is to implement and evaluate a low-cost, highly scalable CI-CDS system integrated within the electronic health record that has high potential to improve early CI detection and care and translate massive public and private sector investments in health informatics into tangible health benefits for large numbers of people.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a very common neurodevelopmental disorder in childhood characterized by short attention span, impulsivity and hyperactivity. It is also known that sensory integration problems are seen together with the basic symptoms of ADHD. Studies indicate that children with ADHD have difficulties in perceiving and processing sensory stimuli, and in relation to this, they have difficulty in producing appropriate sensory responses at school, at home and in social environments. However, it was observed that the interventions related to ADHD did not focus on the sensory-motor dimension enough, and focused more on cognitive or social skills. Although current research indicates the presence of sensory integration disorder in children with ADHD, there are no studies showing the effectiveness of sensory integration intervention. Our study was planned to examine the effect of Ayres Sensory Integration intervention on sensory-motor, cognitive, behavioral skills and social participation in children with ADHD. Materials and Methods: After the evaluation, 90 children with ADHD will be included in the study by dividing them into intervention (n=45) and control (n=45) groups by simple randomization method. Ayres Sensory Integration Therapy intervention will be applied to the intervention group for 10 weeks, 3 times a week, with a session duration of 1 hour, while the control group will continue the drug treatment and after a waiting period of 10 weeks, Ayres Sensory Integration Therapy will be applied after the second evaluation. Participants, Sensory Profile (SP), Sensory Integration and Praxis Test (SIPT), Emotion Regulation Checklist (ERC), Stroop Test TBAG Form (Stroop TBAG), Childhood Executive Functions Inventory (CHEXI), Participation and Environment Scale for Children and Adolescents (PEM-CY), Conners Teacher Rating Scale (CTRS), Conners Parent Rating Scale (CPRS), Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test-2 (BOT-2) and Goal Achievement Scale (GAS) both before and before intervention. and post-group change as well as between-group differences will be evaluated.
COVID-19 has swept the world, and while some people may experience long-term cognitive decline as a result of infection, no effective treatment has been announced. The primary goal of this study was to determine the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection, as well as to assess the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on brain function in patients with COVID-19-related cognitive decline. In this study, approximately 80 people were randomly assigned to either hyperbaric oxygen or regular oxygen therapy to compare the effects of these two treatments on disease.
This study aims to obtain the characteristics of cognitive impairment and imaging characteristics of patients with Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) through comprehensive and standardized neuropsychological assessment and multimodal imaging examination. The focus is to obtain the characteristics of cognitive impairment and imaging characteristics of patients with CSVD through 3.0T MRI SWI sequence. deep medullary veins (DMVs) were measured. To compare the demographic data, hematological indexes, imaging scores and the number of DMVs between CSVD groups with and without cognitive impairment, and to explore the correlation between deep medullary veins and cognitive dysfunction in cerebral small vessel disease.
The overall objective of this project is to characterize the spatiotemporal dynamics of brain oscillations underpinning autobiographical memory (ABM) and the modulation of the memory network using non-invasive brain stimulation.
Phase II, multi-centric, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel design clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of Donepezil in patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson's Disease (PD-MCI). A total of 120 patients with PD-MCI will be randomized to 12 months of oral Donepezil 10mg or matching placebo (1:1). Primary and co-primary efficacy endpoints are cognitive and functional cognitive scales: PD-CRS and PD-CFRS. Secondary efficacy endpoints include: cognitive tests evaluating attention, executive functions, language, memory and visuospatial domain; mood, anxiety, and apathy scales; questionnaires to evaluate quality of life; and subjective impression scales. Serum Neurofilament light chain, genetic screening of GBA, ApoE and MAPT, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging will be performed in a subset of these patients. The study will be conducted in 20 different centers around Spain. The Movement Disorders Unit of the Neurology Department at Sant Pau Hospital (Barcelona, Spain) will be the coordinating center.
