Filter by:A Randomized Pivotal Study of RenewTM NCP-5 for the Treatment of Mild Cognitive Impairment due to Alzheimer's Disease or Mild Dementia of the Alzheimer's Type is a pivotal, single blind, parallel design, multi-site study intends to examine the efficacy and safety of RenewTM NCP-5 therapy in the treatment of Cognitive Impairment due to Alzheimer's Disease or Mild Dementia of the Alzheimer's Type. Subjects will be prospectively randomized to treatment or sham (in a 1:1 ratio) using stratification for Cognitive Impairment due to Alzheimer's Disease or Mild Dementia of the Alzheimer's Type, and Cardiovascular Risk (CVR) score at multiple sites. Subjects, ages 55-85, will be consented for 13 months and will receive thirty-five 60-minute RenewTM NCP-5 treatment sessions during a 7-to-12-week initial treatment period, and then transition to a lower frequency maintenance period (twice a week) for a total treatment period of 24 weeks.
The aim of this investigation is to compare the standard of general anesthesia used in these patients with these short-acting local anesthetics (Chloroprocain (Ampres®) and Prilocain (Takipril®)) for spinal anesthesia as well as to report the patient centered outcome of postoperative delirium and neurocognitive disorder. In accordance to current evidence regarding the occurrence of postoperative delirium and postoperative cognitive deficit, patients are to be screened daily for delirium up to the fifth postoperative day if in hospital, or till the first postoperative day after ambulatory surgery and for neurocognitive disorder 1 year following the surgery. To detect delirium the Nu-DESC (Nursing Delirium Screening Scale) will be used as a validated scoring systems to ensure the highest sensitivity in delirium identification. CANTAB battery will be used for assessment of neurocognitive disorder. This is a neuropsychological testing (computer-based (I-Pad) [Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery - CANTAB connect and parameters from the item list], as well as the subjective / by proxy Assessment of Cognitive Limitations. It is essential to perform the appropriate cognitive performance tests not only on operative patients but also on a non-surgical cohort, using currently established models of calculation in postoperative cognitive deficits and a control group generated from non-surgical patients.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and potential effects on cognition of GRF6021, a plasma-derived product, administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion, to subjects with Parkinson's disease and cognitive impairment.
The Advance Care Planning Group Visit intervention is a new intervention that uses the strengths of group visits to promote advance care planning conversations and documentation. However, the Advance Care Planning Group Visit intervention was initially designed for individuals without cognitive impairment. This study will specifically investigate ways to adapt the Advance Care Planning Group Visit intervention for individuals with amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment and their family care partners.
The study aimed to investigate the effects of bimodal anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on psychopathological symptoms, insight, psychosocial functioning, neurocognitive function and heart rate variability (HRV) in schizophrenia patients
This study explores the safety, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of THN201 a combination of donepezil and mefloquine to improve cognitive function in healthy male volunteers after impairment by a scopolamine challenge.
Cognitive Remediation (CR) involving restorative and strategy-based methods has been previously validated in a pilot study for late life schizophrenia (LLS), where CR demonstrated a moderate effect on overall cognition. This study proposes to study the efficacy of CR in a larger cohort of participants with LLS and to assess the interaction of medication management with CR on cognitive outcomes. Eligible participants will receive CR during 12 weeks. CR consists of a series of computerized exercises targeting various cognitive functions, such as memory, attention and processing speed. It will be administered during facilitated group sessions consisting of 4-6 people. The study will recruit 40 participants with the aim to enroll 30 LLS participants age 55 or older who will undergo the CR intervention for two, 2-hour weekly classes over 12 weeks (24 classes in total). There will be baseline assessments (clinical and NP) prior to enrollment in the classes. In order to assess whether there has been a change in cognition, and some of the assessments will be repeated after the 12-week intervention.
LO MAPT is an 18-month, phase III, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, 2 parallel groups trial, followed by a 18-month open-label extension phase, to evaluate the efficacy of omega-3 supplementation on cognitive decline in older adults with low DHA/EPA status and subjective memory complaints or family history of Alzheimer disease.
This is a non-pharmacological study evaluating the feasibility of a neurofeedback training program in elderly with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) according to recruitment, retention, attendance, acceptability data.
The Healthy Patterns Study intervention is a home-based activity intervention designed to improve symptoms of circadian rhythm disorders (CRD) and quality of life (QOL) in home-dwelling persons with dementia. We will use a randomized two-group parallel design of 200 people with dementia and their caregivers assigned to intervention or attention control groups.
