Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare conventional clinical data collected as part of usual practice with data collected by the two digital tools to help diagnose major and minor neurocognitive disorders in elderly people consulting a memory center for cognitive complaints. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is it possible to create a classification between the different intensities of cognitive impairment? - Is it possible to create a diagnostic tool consistent with the reference diagnosis? Participants will be asked to complete a series of cognitive and fine motor tasks, and will be given questionnaires on their lifestyle and medical history. They will be asked to wear a connected watch for 1 week. There is no comparison group.
The primary aims of this mixed-methods trial are to test the feasibility and acceptability of the novel Cognitive Strategies, Mindfulness, and Rehabilitation Therapy (C-SMART) delivered via telehealth to patients with primary brain tumors and mild neurocognitive disorder (mNCD).
PLATA aims to develop an algorithm to identify vocal biomarkers of Alzheimer's dementia. Using data collected as part of routine care, speech patterns will be compared to known biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease, such as amyloid 1-42 and p-Tau in CSF (cerebrospinal fluid). If biomarkers of speech can be identified in Alzheimer's disease, it is possible that patients and research participants will no longer need to undergo need to undergo the intensive and invasive baseline biomarker methods currently used, such as lumbar punctures and PET scans.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the Hospital Elder Life Program (HELP) with a family-augmented version of HELP (FAM-HELP), that includes family members and care partners, for the prevention of delirium in older patients during hospital admission. The main objectives of the trial are the following: 1. To compare the effectiveness of FAM-HELP and HELP in reducing both the incidence of delirium and its severity. 2. To compare the effectiveness of FAM-HELP and HELP in improving patient- and family-reported outcomes. 3. To explore the implementation context, process, and outcomes of the FAM-HELP program in diverse hospital settings.
A study conducted in Finland discovered that a multidomain intervention, consisting of physical activity, nutritional guidance, cognitive training, social activities, and management of vascular risk factors, effectively decelerated cognitive decline in healthy older adults who were at an increased risk of cognitive decline. The HERITAGE study is a 2-year clustered randomized controlled trial (clustered-RCT) that explores the efficacy of a multidomain intervention among 1200 elderly residents with a higher risk of cognitive decline and dementia in Zhejiang Province, China
This study aims to compare the effect of a program of Adapted Physical Activity (APA) versus the same program combined with a physical activity education program (PAE). Patients suffering from neurocognitive disorders (mild or early major) will be randomized into one of the two conditions. 3 complete evaluations will be done (inclusion M0, after 3 month of intervention M3, 3 months after the end of the intervention M6). The team except that APA+PEA will be more effectiv than the APA solely, on the following criteria : level of physical activity, cogntive function and quality of life.
Perioperatively, patients experience an unnecessarily high level of side effects associated with their treatment. These side effects include nausea, severe pain, anxiety, and stress. Moreover, many patients develop postoperative delirium (POD) and neurocognitive dysfunctions, often resulting in long-term cognitive impairment, decreased quality of life, and increased mortality. However, physicians, nurses and their institutions do not receive structured feedback regarding these aspects of each patient's well-being. They may therefore be unable to engage in the essential cause-and-effect learning necessary to evaluate and consecutively reduce such side effects. Effective guidelines conform prevention is the proven key to shielding our patients from adverse Outcomes. The Safe Brain Initiative's high-quality routine data-for-action is a sword and accelerator for moving towards patient-centred, precision care. Thus, establishing a foundation for value-based and patient-centred healthcare development. However, a turnkey real-world solution is challenging to develop and implement and requires substantial resources. As a result, such solutions are usually beyond the scope of a single institution. The SBI platform provides high-quality, real-world data to bridge this gap. It allows monitoring and in-depth analysis of cause and effect in the day-to-day routine of individuals, departments, and institutions. The SBI's approach is continuously improved and updated. An organization called the SBI Global Society oversees the quality and precision of science through experts in the field. At SBI Hospitals and Flagship centres, Masterclasses are conducted and can be attended alongside clinical immersions. SBI Solutions manages, develops, and provides technical and service support for the Safe Brain Initiative. Its service guarantees the professional and GDPR conform management of data handling and storage as well as the user-friendly functionality of the SBI-Dashboard solutions.
Neurodevelopmental Outcomes among Offspring of women with Type 1 Diabetes: A Follow up Study of the CONCEPTT Randomized Control Trial (CONCEPTT Kids International). An international, multicentre prospective cohort study of child and mother pairs. The potential number of recruits is 225 and the main inclusion criteria is child's mother who participated in the CONCEPTT Trial.
Difficulties with speech and language are the first and most notable symptoms of primary progressive aphasia (PPA). While there is evidence that demonstrates positive effects of speech-language treatment for individuals with PPA who only speak one language (monolinguals), there is a significant need for investigating the effects of treatment that is optimized for bilingual speakers with PPA. This stage 2 efficacy clinical trial seeks to establish the effects of culturally and linguistically tailored speech-language interventions administered to bilingual individuals with PPA. The overall aim of the intervention component of this study is to establish the relationships between the bilingual experience (e.g., how often each language is used, how "strong" each language is) and treatment response of bilinguals with PPA. Specifically, the investigators will evaluate the benefits of tailored speech-language intervention administered in both languages to bilingual individuals with PPA (60 individuals will be recruited). The investigators will conduct an assessment before treatment, after treatment and at two follow-ups (6 and 12-months post-treatment) in both languages. When possible, a structural scan of the brain (magnetic resonance image) will be collected before treatment in order to identify if brain regions implicated in bilingualism are associated with response to treatment. In addition to the intervention described herein, 30 bilingual individuals with PPA will be recruited to complete behavioral cognitive-linguistic testing and will not receive intervention. Results will provide important knowledge about the neural mechanisms of language re-learning and will address how specific characteristics of bilingualism influence cognitive reserve and linguistic resilience in PPA.
This study will investigate different donanemab dosing regimens and their effect on the frequency and severity of ARIA-E in adults with early symptomatic Alzheimer's disease (AD) and explore participant characteristics that might predict risk of ARIA.
