Filter by:The goal of this project is to conduct an open pilot (N=5) among dyads (persons living with dementia and their caregivers) to assess the preliminary effects of an online videogame platform. The "Isle of TEND" is an immersive and interactive videogame platform designed for persons living with dementia and their caregivers. Dyads will use the platform three to four times a week for 20-30 minutes across four weeks. The investigators will assess for improvements in relationship satisfaction, wellbeing, and positive emotions and gather feedback on engagement in the platform. Dyads will complete measures at baseline and post-intervention as well as brief measures after each platform use.
This is a prospective multicenter study with Alzheimer's patients with dysphagia. Patients enrolled are randomly divided equally into the observation group and the control group. All patients receive conventional care, and the observation group received Intermittent Oral-esophageal Tube Feeding while the control group received Nasogastric Tube Feeding for enteral nutrition support. Baseline information (demographics, medical history, etc.), nutritional status at admission and after treatment, depression, dysphagia, and quality of life after treatment are compared.
The goal of this First-In-Human (FIH) trial is to learn about safety and PharmacoKinetics (PK) in healthy adult volunteers. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the safety of single ascending doses of the FluoroEthylNorMemantine (FENM)? - What is the PK profile of single ascending doses of the FENM in human? - What is the preliminary exploratory time course of Brain Disease Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) plasmatic levels of single ascending doses of the FENM? Participants will receive one single oral dose of FENM.
This study will look at the effects of lemborexant on Alzheimer's disease biomarkers found in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood in individuals who are poor sleepers
This research is being done to develop a unique matching process for caregivers of persons living with dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal degeneration, or other dementia syndromes. Dementia caregivers often assume greater caregiving burden than do non-dementia caregivers, and the caregiving duration tends to be longer. Many caregivers do not have the adequate support they need. Peer-to-peer support has been shown to improve quality of life, increase use of services, improve caregiver health, and reduce hospitalizations in the person they are caring for. This study will assess a technology platform and matching process for the purpose of peer-to-peer emotional support aimed at improving overall wellbeing in dementia care partners/caregivers.
JDOME is a randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of a computerized cognitive training with the Brainer web platform and aerobic training with the JDOME system vs. a computerized cognitive training with the Brainer web platform and aerobic training with a standard exercise bike in subjects with Alzheimer's Disease at early stage. The JDome BikeAround is a tool that take people with dementia on a virtual bicycle tour along the paths of memories. It combines an exercise bike, a dome-shaped projector and Google Street View technology.
An open-label, proof-of-concept study to evaluate the safety and treatment effects of SLS-005 in Participants with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) treated once or twice weekly for 52 weeks.
The goal of this Phase 2 MCI study is to determine whether 1.0 mg/kg XPro1595 is superior to placebo at improving measures of cognition, functioning and brain quality in individuals with MCI and biomarkers associated with neuroinflammation (APOE4) and to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of XPro1595.
This is a double- blind, randomized controlled trial with an open label extension designed to evaluate the safety and potential efficacy of a non-invasive brainstem neuromodulation device for treating symptoms associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Memory mistakes are one of the most detrimental symptoms in Alzheimer's Disease (AD). In this study the investigators will measure the long-term efficacy of memory strategies in patients with AD. First, the efficacy of the strategies will be evaluated in the laboratory by analyzing the behavioral response and the brain activity of the patients. During the first visit, patients will be taught the memory strategies and asked to repeat them at home for 4 weeks. During this period of time, patients will perform several memory tasks while their performance and brain activity will be measured using portable devices. Monitoring brain activity and behavioral responses to memory tasks will provide insightful information on the efficacy of the strategies and allow the investigation of how patients can maintain the strategies over time. The research will examine if improving memory through the use of cognitive strategies, can positively affect other domains of daily life.
