NCT ID: NCT06395051 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Cognitive Performance

Effects of Ketone Monoesters on Brain Function

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

Disturbances in brain insulin-sensitivity are not only observed in obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D), but also during brain aging and in dementia. Ketone monoester supplements may improve brain insulin-sensitivity, which can be quantified by measuring the gray-matter cerebral blood flow (CBF) response to intranasally administered insulin. We hypothesize that acute ketone monoester supplementation increases (regional) brain vascular function and insulin-sensitivity thereby improving cognitive performance and appetite control. The primary objective is to evaluate in older men the acute effect of ketone monoester supplementation on (regional) brain vascular function and insulin-sensitivity, as quantified by the non-invasive gold standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-perfusion method Arterial Spin Labelling (ASL). The CBF response to intranasal insulin is a robust and sensitive physiological marker of brain insulin-sensitivity. Secondary objectives are to investigate effects on cognitive performance as assessed with a neuropsychological test battery, and appetite control as quantified by functional MRI (fMRI) with visual food cues.

NCT ID: NCT05775263 Not yet recruiting - Cerebral Blood Flow Clinical Trials

Validation of UK Protocols to Exclude Brain Blood Flow During Normothermic Regional Perfusion (NRP)

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

This study aims to evaluate both Abdominal Normothermic Regional Perfusion (A-NRP) and Thoracoabdominal-NRP (TA-NRP) techniques, proving that brain blood flow is not resumed during NRP. This will be assessed through the use of two modalities: CT angiogram of the brain and continuous Hb02 readings. The study group hypothesise that such assessment methods will provide evidence to indicate that brain blood flow is not present during NRP and promote trust in the use of such novel techniques in routine practice.

NCT ID: NCT05592431 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Respiratory Tract Diseases

Effect of Volume Guarantee-High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation on Cerebral Blood Flow in Neonates

Start date: October 27, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

A randomized controlled clinical trial evaluates cerebral blood flow changes associated with HFOV-VG in comparison to HFOV alone in preterm neonates with respiratory insufficiency during the period of invasive respiratory support

NCT ID: NCT04897815 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Fasting and Postprandial Cerebral Blood Flow in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Start date: July 1, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to explore the changes of fasting and postprandial cerebral blood flow in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Some studies have proved that non-fasting blood glucose concentration is an independent predictor of ischemic stroke and lacunar infarction. At present, there are differences in cerebral blood flow velocity between diabetic patients and healthy controls. Therefore, it is of certain significance to explore the changes of fasting and postprandial cerebral blood flow in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

NCT ID: NCT03192670 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Mild Cognitive Impairment

A Study of Low-level Light Therapy Using Photo-activated Modulation Ameliorates Cognitive Deficits

Start date: June 20, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The primary objective of this study is to confirm and compare the effect of methods of Low-level light therapy (LED-T) in the mild cognitive impairment.

NCT ID: NCT02959008 Not yet recruiting - Cerebral Blood Flow Clinical Trials

Continous Assessment of Cerebral Autoregulation With Near-infrared Spectroscopy

Start date: December 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Cerebral autoregulation can be explained by a tight coupling between oxygen supply and demand of the brain, and is essential to maintain a constant cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the context of changes in cerebral perfusion pressure. In this study, investigators use Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to monitor cerebral autoregulation.
