Filter by:The literature suggests a strong association between amyloid accumulation and gamma alterations, emerging gamma activity as a biomarker candidate for Alzheimer's pathology. The present study aims to investigate resting-state gamma activity changes in Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-proven early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD) patients with a holistic approach that employs structural and functional brain neuroimaging techniques, and neuropsychological aspects.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of AGB101 on slowing cognitive and functional impairment as measured by reduction in neuronal injury in participants with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's Disease. Participants will be randomized to receive placebo or AGB101 (220 mg), once daily for 78 weeks. Secondary objectives are to assess the effect of AGB101 compared with placebo on clinical progression as measured by the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale- Sum of Boxes and Memory Box score.
The goal of this study is to determine if weight loss or changes can help prevent of delay adults with Down syndrome from developing Alzheimer's Disease Adults with Down syndrome without dementia will be randomized to either a weight loss group or a general health education control group. The weight loss group will be asked to follow a reduced energy diet, attend monthly education sessions delivered remotely and self-monitor diet and body weight using commercially available web-based applications. The control group will be asked to attend remotely delivered monthly education sessions on general health education topics. All participants will come to the University of Kansas Medical Center, 3 times across 12 months for a blood draw, cognitive testing, a MRI, assessment of height and weight, and assessment of diet intake.
The goal of this clinical trial is to develop and test how reminiscence offered by trained young adult volunteers using a digital storytelling (DST) platform may help older persons with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) to improve their social and emotional well-being. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Whether is this reminiscence and DST based intervention effective in improving social and emotional well-being of older adults with ADRD? 2. Whether do young adult participants improve their social and emotional well-being as well as knowledge and attitudes towards aging after participating this study? Older adult participants in the intervention group will receive 6 sessions of life-review with young adult volunteers and create a DST based on their life review discussion in the last 4 weeks. Older adult participants in the social wellness control group will receive 6 sessions of general talks with young adults and create a non-digital scrapbook or journal at week 7-10. Researchers will compare these two groups to see if participants in the intervention group benefit more on their well-being.
The study will test and refine a novel brain-stimulation tool using gamma-frequency lights coupled with self-selected music for a gamma-music-based intervention for participants with mild Alzheimer's Disease. Results will yield a gamma-stimulation protocol that reliably influences brain activity (Aim 1), is adaptive, motivating and rewarding to use (Aim 2), and will generate predictions as to who might benefit the most from gamma-MBI (Aim 3). By bridging the gap between neurostimulation and behavioral intervention by combining music therapy with gamma- band neurostimulation, the present project aims to find a sustainable intervention that delays the progression of AD.
Default mode network (DMN) dysfunction is a well-established feature of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and is already present in preclinical stages and in subjects at risk for AD, thus offering a potential target for early intervention. Non-invasive stimulation techniques are candidate approaches to modulate network dysfunction, however interventions specifically targeting subjects at risk for AD are lacking. This project will test a non-invasive intervention to modulate the DMN in cognitively healthy older adults carrying the main genetic risk factor for AD, the APOE e4 allele. The proposal will non-invasively stimulate the DMN in at risk subjects and will assess the neuronal-cognitive effect of this approach with multimodal neuroimaging and neurophysiological techniques.
This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study comparing LIPUS-Brain transcranial low-intensity pulsed-wave ultrasound device to placebo in patients with Early Alzheimer's Disease. The primary objective of the study is to assess changes in ADAS-J-cog-14 scores from baseline to 72 weeks.
This is a Phase 3 global, multicenter, 52-week, open-label extension (OLE) rollover study for subjects completing study CN012-0026 or CN012-0027. Subjects (randomized or non-randomized) who complete the 38-week CN012-0026 or CN012-0027 study will be eligible to enroll in CN012-0028. The primary objective of the study is to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of KarXT in subjects with psychosis associated with Alzheimer's Disease.
Developing and validating an early digitalized recognition device and multimodal warning model for Alzheimer's disease, and establishing a precision transcranial ultrasound stimulation intervention system.
Since pharmacological methods are insufficient in the treatment processes of Alzheimer's disease, non-pharmacological methods such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) have started to be tried as a treatment option as in other neurological and psychiatric diseases. Repeated (rTMS) offers a potential treatment pathway for neurological and psychiatric illnesses. rTMS benefit rate may vary depending on many factors such as the region where it is applied, the progression and the disease degree. The possible effects of TMS on Alzheimer's pathophysiology and modification of disease process (neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant) will also be revealed through blood samples taken from patients before and after treatment. These approaches also constitute the original value of our study.
