Filter by:The investigators are conducting a pilot study to compare cognitive outcomes among Veterans with severe aortic valve stenosis who are scheduled to undergo either aortic valve replacement.
The Neurotrack Virtual Cognitive Health Study is a 12-month long, prospective study that aims to evaluate the impact of the Neurotrack Virtual Cognitive Health Coaching Program on cognitive ability, anxiety and depression, and lifestyle behaviors for individuals who show signs of subjective cognitive decline.
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a 12-week care management program for medically complex Veterans with cognitive impairment, delivered via telephone or videoconferencing.
Age remains the single most significant risk factor for developing dementia, particularly Alzheimer's dementia (AD). Given the rate at which Canada's population is aging, the quest to determine modifiable risk factors, whether by prevention, earlier detection, or an ability to slow the rate of decline, is a key priority in health care. Primary care is likely to play a pivotal role in this initiative. Collaborative mental health care between primary care providers and mental health clinicians has been demonstrated to be effective at the patient and system levels. Thus, the overall goal of this project is to assess impact and feasibility of implementing a collaborative care evidence-based Integrated Care Pathway (ICP) in addressing three potentially reversible risk factors at high risk for developing AD: anxiety, depression, or mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
This study assess the effectiveness of novel cognitive intervention utilizing tablet apps (TECH protocol: Tablet Enhancement of Cognition and Health) to improve cognitive abilities, daily function and health-related quality of life of older adults with MCI. Older adults with MCI will be randomly allocated to the TECH protocol (experimental group) or standard care (control group). Assessments will be administered pre and post the 6-week TECH protocol and at 6-month follow-up by assessors blind to group allocation.
This multicenter study assessed the effects of 24 weeks of basmisanil treatment on cognition and functioning of stable schizophrenia participants treated with antipsychotics.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of Niagen (nicotinamide riboside, vitamin B3), on NAD levels, brain function including cognition and blood flow in people diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to alleviate stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms, and improve attention among patients aged 60 or older who suffer from HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) and have maximized treatment options.
As the investigators know, postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a fairly well-documented clinical phenomenon, which affect patients' short-term and long-term outcome. Most patients will receive general anesthesia and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during cardiac valvular surgery. Inhalation sevoflurane based and propofol based anesthesia are most commonly used strategy for general anesthesia. At present, it was unknown that which one is better in providing cerebral protection effect for patients undergoing cardiac valvular surgery with CPB. The current study aimed to explore the possible difference.
The project will examine whether a computerized neuroscience-based cognitive training program can improve cognitive functioning and recovery outcomes among Veterans with Alcohol Use Disorder and co-occurring PTSD. Information from this study will help determine the malleability of cognitive dysfunction, an established risk factor for poor recovery outcomes in this population. Improved functional outcomes can decrease risk of chronic impairment and ultimately help affected individuals live richer, more productive lives. Web-based treatment technologies may increase the reach and impact of treatment, and foster patient recovery in cases where staffing, space, acceptability of counseling, and transportation are barriers. Findings may also support expanding use of existing, highly-accessible cognitive remediation technologies to other vulnerable clinical populations.
