NCT ID: NCT06413173 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Mild Cognitive Impairment

Remotely Supervised tDCS+ for Complex Attention in mTBI (Cognetric)

Start date: June 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The proposed study will evaluate a new approach to cognitive rehabilitation of mTBI using a brain stimulation technique called "Remotely Supervised Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation combined with Cognitive Training" (RS-tDCS+) which has shown promise for improving complex attention in both healthy and clinical populations. RS-tDCS+ is a home-based, low-risk, non-invasive technique that is designed to boost cognitive training by enhancing learning and the brain's ability to reorganize connections. This study will evaluate RS-tDCS+ for improving complex attention in Active Duty Service Members (ADSM) and Veterans with a history of mTBI. Different tests of complex attention and symptom questionnaires will be used to determine the effects of real versus sham (placebo) RS-tDCS+. Second, the investigators will investigate electrical and connectivity changes in the brain associated with RS-tDCS+ using electroencephalogram (EEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Third, the investigators will investigate the lasting effects of any observed changes by evaluating participants at 1 and 6 weeks post-treatment. Lastly, the investigators will explore the impact of individual differences (e.g., PTSD, depression, sleep quality, time since injury, baseline impairment, age, sex, ADSM versus Veteran) on treatment outcome.

NCT ID: NCT06283043 Enrolling by invitation - Clinical trials for Parkinsonian Disorders

Effect of Motor Function, Depression and Sleep Quality on Attention in Parkinson's Disease

Start date: January 1, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Our study was planned to analyze motor function, endurance and sleep attention information in Parkinson's patients with detailed and objective measurements.

NCT ID: NCT05831839 Enrolling by invitation - COVID-19 Clinical Trials

Computerized Training of Attention and Working Memory in Post COVID-19 Patients With Cognitive Complaints

CO-TRAINER
Start date: December 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Many post COVID-19 patients suffer from cognitive deficits, even after 1 year after hospitalization. These complaints have a huge impact on psychological well-being and quality of life. In rehabilitation programs in the Netherlands, most interventions are based on physical therapy or learning how to cope with fatigue and low levels of energy. In former studies computerized training of cognition in other populations has been proven to be effective. Knowledge on the effect of computerized training on attention and working memory in patients suffering from COVID-19 is urgently needed, and may contribute to more evidence-based rehabilitation programs for these patients. Therefore the effectiveness of computerized training of attention and working memory in post COVID-19 patients with cognitive complaints will be studied in this study.

NCT ID: NCT05513352 Recruiting - Hearing Loss Clinical Trials

Exploiting the Potential of Neural Attentional Control to Overcome Hearing Impairment

NeurAttContr
Start date: November 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study will improve the understanding of the cerebral mechanisms that underlie the control of auditory selective attention and evaluate the potential of neuromodulation to enhance neural attention control as a possible way to overcome hearing impairment. First, electroencephalography (EEG) will be applied to identify neural marker of auditory attention in individuals with hearing loss (HL), tinnitus (TI) and normal hearing (NH). Afterwards, the importance of the identified markers for attention control will be tested using non-invasive transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) and neurofeedback (NF).

NCT ID: NCT05353231 Recruiting - Mental Health Issue Clinical Trials

Brief Mental Training and Internal Attentional Control

Start date: May 23, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Previous research documented that real-time feedback on attention as well as related forms of mental training (e.g. mindfulness meditation) may be used to train and impact external attentional control. These approaches to mental training are designed to train meta-awareness in order to enable attentional control. It is not yet known, however, whether such training targeting meta-awareness can be similarly used to impact internal attentional control. Thus, the investigators will test whether real-time feedback training and a brief mindfulness meditation training, relative to placebo control, will lead to greater internal attentional control among adults with elevated negative repetitive thinking.

NCT ID: NCT05115656 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Traumatic Brain Injury

Online Intervention for Traumatic Brain Injury Wellbeing

Start date: June 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients face notable impairments which lead to reduced performance and regulation of daily and overall functioning. There are a number of interventions made to combat these qualms; however, such interventions have historically been therapeutically demanding, which limits their practical benefit. An online therapeutic intervention can provide a cost-effective approach that can be particularly well-suited to the needs and limitations of TBI. It focuses both on developing awareness and attention, which are often impaired, and are critical to improving emotional and behavioral regulation and everyday function. This project is aimed at assessing the effectiveness and underlying mechanism of modified mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) using a rigorous randomized controlled trial. Poised to provide a rigorous approach to efficacy development and analysis, Results of the study will provide valuable information that will ultimately support the refinement of an intervention that can have a real impact on patients' ability to resume a fully functional and satisfying life, and the design of an adequate therapeutic intervention for TBI patients.

NCT ID: NCT04925453 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Mild Cognitive Impairment

tDCS and Cognitive Training in Active Duty Service Members With Mild TBI: A Pilot Study

Start date: January 19, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The proposed study will evaluate a new approach to cognitive rehabilitation of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) using a brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Specifically, we will investigate how tDCS combined with cognitive training improves deficits to attention and working memory in Active Duty Service Members with a history of mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Measures of attention-related brain activity, neurocognitive assessments, and self-reported clinical outcomes will be used to determine effects of tDCS vs. sham tDCS when paired with a cognitive training intervention. By doing this study, we hope to find a reliable, noninvasive, and efficient method of treating mild TBI cognitive symptoms.

NCT ID: NCT04749264 Completed - Mental Health Issue Clinical Trials

The Influence of Mindfulness Meditation Retreat on Attention to Internal Experience

Start date: August 1, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Although attention is thought to have a definitive functional role in mindfulness meditation training and its salutary mechanisms of action, extant empirical evidence is mixed and limited. In the proposed study, we propose to test whether 6 to 7-days mindfulness meditation retreats (N=90), relative to a wait-list control condition (N=45), will impact internal attentional processes or attention to internal experience (e.g., thoughts and bodily sensations); and whether these internal attentional change processes predict salutary outcomes of mindfulness meditation retreats. Participants will complete tasks designed to measure attention to internal experience before and then immediately following the retreat, as well as self-report measures of salutary outcomes before and 2-weeks post-retreat. Matched controls will complete the tasks at parallel time-points in the lab.

NCT ID: NCT04227132 Recruiting - Stroke Clinical Trials

Evaluation of an Adaptive Computerized Training for Rehabilitation of Spatial Neglect in Stroke Survivors

MULTITASK
Start date: December 16, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of training with an adaptive computer game, in comparison to standard training, in the rehabilitation of stroke survivors suffering from spatial neglect.

NCT ID: NCT03762239 Completed - Decision Making Clinical Trials

Effect of Air Pollution on the Cognitive Function of Adolescents

ATENC!Ó
Start date: November 23, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Previous observational studies have reported an association between higher air pollution exposure and lower attention in children. With this project, the investigators aim to confirm this association in adolescents using an experimental design. In addition, the study will assess the relationship between air pollution exposure and individual preferences with respect to risk, time and social considerations. High school students in 3rd grade (ESO, 14-15 years of age) in different high schools in the Barcelona province (Spain) will be invited to participate. For each class in each high school, participating students will be randomly split into two equal-sized groups. Each group will be assigned to a different classroom where they will complete several activities during two hours, including an attention test (Flanker task) and a reduced version of the Global Preferences Survey. One of the classrooms will have an air purifier that will clean the air. The other classroom will have the same device but without the filters, so it will only re-circulate the air without cleaning it. Students will be masked to intervention allocation. The investigators hypothesize that students assigned to the clean air classroom will have better scores in the attention test, and that decision-making will also present differences in the two classrooms.
