NCT ID: NCT05513404 Completed - Clinical trials for Age-Related Memory Disorders

The Scottish Fruit Study

Start date: August 15, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine if new varieties of fruits grown in Scotland which can adapt better to climate change namely, honeyberries and cherries, have the same health benefits as established fruits such as raspberries. To do this we will investigate the effects of consuming honeyberries, cherries, and raspberries on short term changes in blood glucose, and on short term memory.

NCT ID: NCT04819126 Completed - Clinical trials for Age-Related Memory Disorders

Nintendo Wii Virtual Reality Application In Dementia

Start date: January 15, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

•This study was planned to investigate the effects of the Nintendo Wii virtual reality application on muscle strength and fall risk in individuals with AD. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of the virtual reality application on muscle strength and fall in individuals with Alzheimer' Dementia (AD).

NCT ID: NCT04245579 Completed - Clinical trials for Age-Related Memory Disorders

Effectiveness of a Cognitive Training Program (UMAM Method) in Elderly People Without Dementia

Start date: October 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study is oriented to analyze the effectiveness of a cognitive training method (UMAM) on cognitive functions, subjective memory and mood state in elderly people without dementia. On the other hand, the study aims to examine whether variables such as cognitive reserve (e.g. educational level), APOE genotype and intracranial volume are related to increased benefit after the intervention. The researchers hope to find that greater cognitive reserve, not having the APOE allele ε4, and a greater volume of memory-related brain areas, are associated with better outcomes after the cognitive intervention.

NCT ID: NCT03763344 Completed - Clinical trials for Age-Related Memory Disorders

An Examination of Visual Perceptual Training

Start date: June 28, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Perceptual-cognitive training (PCT) is a computerized software game has been shown to improve sport performance in young elite athletes and even to aid in recovery speeds post-concussion. PCT may represent a unique type of training that could ultimately enhance cognitive performance or quality of life in all populations. What is not clear is whether PCT is beneficial to older adults with subjective memory complaints (SMCs). SMCs in older adults are an early risk indicator for Alzheimer's disease, making older adults with SMCs a target population for proactive interventions. The aim of this study was to determine if PCT can serve as a proactive intervention and enhance cognitive abilities in older adults with SMCs. The results of this research protocol introduce a new way of prevention from cognitive decline in healthy older adults and may introduce a new training programs for age-related memory disorder.

NCT ID: NCT03537729 Completed - Alzheimer Disease Clinical Trials

Effects of Visual Cues and Education for People Who Live Within Long Term Care Communities to Assist in Wayfinding

Start date: April 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The ability to find one's way in the world is known as wayfinding. Many older adults who live in senior communities, such as independent living and assisted living residences, find wayfinding very challenging. Often times, these communities are not designed in a way that helps people find their way very easily. When people cannot find their way, they can get lost, be dependent upon others for getting out and about, or even be afraid to leave their rooms. The purpose of this study is to find out if distinctive signs and decorative elements, along with a special type of education called Spaced-Retrieval education, help residents in these communities find their way more effectively. Twelve senior communities will be assigned by chance to one of three conditions, including: 1) control - no change (the community stays the same); 2) signs and decorative elements enhanced; and 3) signs, decorative elements, and special education added. After agreeing to be in the study, the participants will be asked to find their way to certain places in their community four times over a year. Some people will be asked to participate in educational sessions on wayfinding. In addition, some people will be asked to wear a location tracker, (like a fitness tracker), for four weeks during the year. How well people find their way, along with how much they travel about within the communities, will be compared between the three groups. It is hypothesized that those in the communities with special signs and decorative elements will find their way more effectively than those in the control communities. It is also hypothesized that participants in the communities with the special education intervention will find their way better than those without the education. Finally, it is hypothesized that participants in the communities with signs and cues and education will travel about further distances than those in the control communities. The results of the study can help people who have a tendency to get lost find their way more effectively in their community, and this could result in more independence.

NCT ID: NCT02431182 Completed - Memory Loss Clinical Trials

Trial to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Memory Training Workshops in People From 65 to 80 Years

Start date: January 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Randomized controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of a Memory Training Workshop in cognitive function, in terms of self-perceived memory, everyday memory and executive control abilities. It is expected that the group intervention of memory training that this study proposes significantly improves cognition (memory, attention and executive control abilities) and the quality of life related to health (HRQOL) in the Experimental Group (EG) compared to the Control Group (CG). The group of individuals that take part in the Memory Training Workshops (Experimental Group) will be compared to another group of similar characteristics that do not (Control Group). Data will be collected at baseline, 3 months later and 6 months later.

NCT ID: NCT02051140 Completed - Aging Clinical Trials

The Effect of Dietary Strawberry Supplementation on Older Adults

Start date: May 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is being conducted to assess the effect of dietary strawberry supplementation on cognition and mobility in older adults. It is hypothesized that plant compounds, present in strawberries, may improve cognition and mobility by protecting against oxidative stress and inflammation.

NCT ID: NCT01888848 Completed - Aging Clinical Trials

Effects of Blueberry on Cognition and Mobility in Older Adults

Start date: January 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is being conducted to assess the effect of dietary blueberry supplementation on cognition and mobility in older adults. It is hypothesized that plant compounds, present in blueberries, may improve cognition and mobility by protecting against oxidative stress and inflammation.

NCT ID: NCT01818778 Completed - Impaired Cognition Clinical Trials

The Efficacy of Using Volunteers to Implement a Cognitive Stimulation Program in Two Long-Term Care Homes

VolCogStim
Start date: May 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Many volunteers visiting seniors make socially-based "friendly visits". This study investigated the efficacy of volunteers making visits focused on stimulating cognition. Participants were randomly assigned to either a "friendly visit" control group or a cognitive stimulation group. Seniors receiving stimulation visits made statistically significant improvement in memory abilities.

NCT ID: NCT01746303 Completed - Mood Disorders Clinical Trials

Omega-3 and Blueberry Supplementation in Age-Related Cognitive Decline

Start date: January 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of 6 months' dietary supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids and whole freeze dried blueberry powder in improving cognition in older adults. The effects of each of these interventions alone will also be assessed in order to determine whether the combined treatment confers synergistic or additive benefit relative to the effect of each therapy.
