Prospective interventional study with a device for comparing autonomic parameters among patients with different forms of cognitive decline
The purpose of this study is to develop an exercise treatment program for knee osteoarthritis that works well for people with memory problems. This study will include two parts. Participants can choose to participate in either or both parts. In Part 1 - The investigators are inviting the following people to participate in an interview: 1. Individuals aged 60 years or older who do not live in a nursing home and have both memory issues and knee pain. 2. Care partners of people with knee pain and memory issues. A care partner can be a family member or friend who helps regularly. 3. Clinicians (exercise physiologists or rehabilitation therapists like physical and occupational therapists) who have worked with older adults with memory issues and knee pain. The goal of these interviews is to learn from the experiences of people with memory issues and knee pain and those who care for them. From these interviews, the investigators hope to design a non-drug, tailored physical activity program that will be interesting and helpful in managing knee pain for older adults with memory problems. For people with memory problems and knee pain and their care partners: The investigators will ask some questions to determine eligibility to participate in the study. Those who qualify for the study will be invited to participate in an interview that could be completed online or in person (Philadelphia, PA). The interview could last up to 90 minutes (1 and a half hours) and can be completed as one or multiple sessions. For clinicians: Participants will engage in a 90-minute focus group with other clinicians where lunch will be served if in person. Those participating in an online focus group will receive a gift card equal to the value of lunch. In Part 2 - The program developed in Part 1 will be tested. The program will be physical activity-based. Specific program details for part 2 will be provided as they emerge. Participants can choose to sign up for either or both parts. Signing up for Part 1 does not mean participants have to sign up for Part 2. Please contact us for any questions.
This project will facilitate early detection of cognitive decline in older adults through development and implementation of an automated risk assessment and cognitive screening tool for use in primary care. By providing an automated tool developed specifically to address the needs of PCPs, it will be easier to screen for cognitive impairment, increasing the number of older adults who are screened and thus identified and treated.
The goal of this study is to test the effect of CS-ADL is on people living with early to middle stage dementia. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the effect of CS-ADL on the ability of people with early to middle stage dementia to carry out their everyday activities? - What is the effect of CS-ADL on the memory, mood, communication, and quality of life of people living with early to middle stage dementia? Participants will take part in a group program that lasts 7 weeks, with one session per week, lasting two hours. Participants will take part in rewarding and stimulating activities, for example discussion, reminiscence, music, and practical activities such as baking, cooking, gardening. Participants will be asked to complete a variety of questionnaires before and after taking part in the group. Researchers will compare a group receiving CS-ADL to a group receiving their usual care, to explore whether CS-ADL works well in comparison to typical treatment provided by the health services.
Xanamem® is being developed as a potential treatment for symptomatic, early stages of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). This XanaMIA Phase 2b study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Xanamem in in mild or moderate dementia due to AD. Trial participants will be randomized to either receive 10mg of Xanamem once daily or a placebo for 36 weeks at a 1:1 ratio in a double-blinded fashion.
This is a prospective follow-up study conducted at the Department of Psychiatry, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. The participants, including high-performing elderly (SuperAgers), normal ageing elderly and neurocognitive disorder (NCD) patients will be re-invited from our previous cohort (2013-2014) (N=488).
In this study, the investigators will use a novel electroencephalogram (EEG) system that participants will wear during a single in-person research session to investigate whether ERPs are now ready for validation as a tool clinicians can easily implement to increase diagnostic accuracy and confidence. This EEG will not be used to treat, cure, mitigate or diagnosis any disease and there will be no safety or efficacy data collected about the machine for any purpose including support of FDA submission. The investigators will compare the ERP data to that of neuropsychological testing in order to determine the degree of correlation between these two measures. Questionnaires on cognition, mood, and fluency will be administered prior to the EEG to establish a baseline. ERP data from the EEG session will be compared with the results of the neuropsychological battery in order to determine whether the implementation of ERPs in the existing workflow of clinicians can aid in diagnostic accuracy, thus altering clinical management.
This is a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled, adaptive-design pivotal study of sensory stimulation in subjects with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. Approximately 530 subjects will be randomized to 12 months of daily treatment with either Active or Sham Sensory Stimulation Systems. Efficacy will be measured using the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study- Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL) assessment and a combined statistical test (CST) of the ADCS-ADL and the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE).
This clinical trial aims to explore the effectiveness and safety of cognitive function improvement of Neuclare, a science medical device, for patients with mild cognitive impairment and early Alzheimer's disease. Through methods such as Trail Making Test Black & White, Attention Questionnaire Scale(AQS), Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI), etc, cognitive function improvement before and after using Neuclare will be evaluated.
