Alzheimer Disease Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of a Non-Pharmacological Intervention of Cognitive Stimulation in Subjects With Alzheimer's Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment: The Brain Stimulation Project.
The present study aims to evaluate the effect of cognitive stimulation (CS) in participants with a diagnosis of moderate and mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) compared to control subjects not receiving any non-pharmacological interventions. Treated participants will receive a structured CS consisting of a wide range of activities aimed at the general improvement of social functioning and the maintenance of cognitive functions. The study consists of a 24-week treatment phase and a follow-up period of 24 weeks. During the treatment period, patients will receive two CS sessions a week. At baseline, all the participants undergo an extensive neuropsychological evaluation and a neurophysiological assessment aimed at studying the frequency of spontaneous blinking (blink rate) and cortical excitability and synaptic plasticity by means of the transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Neuropsychological and neurophysiological evaluations will be repeated at the end of the treatment (week 24) and at the end of the follow-up period (week 48) in order to evaluate short- and long-term effects of CS. The hypothesis of this research is that CS may improve cognition and the neurophysiological parameters studied in treated participants compared to those untreated.
