Filter by:The goal of this cross-sectional, observational, medical device trial is to examine the association of several sleep parameters, including specific respiratory events and an apnea-hypopnea index, with cognitive performance in older adults. The main question the study aims to answer is: Is there an association between sleep parameters with cognitive performance? Researchers will collect sleep parameters from participants using a device called the ANNE Vital Sign System and will test whether they are associated with performance on different memory and thinking tasks. Participants will: Complete a battery of cognitive tests to assess their memory and thinking performance. Wear the ANNE Vital Sign System continuously for a period of 24 hours.
The goal of this study is to investigate how a common antidepressant citalopram (which increases the levels of the chemical messenger serotonin), affects how a key area of the brain involved in depression (the amygdala) responds to emotional information. Healthy participants will undergo medical and psychiatric health screening, after which they will be assigned to receive either a single dose of citalopram (20mg) or placebo, and undergo brain scanning (7T fMRI) whilst viewing emotional faces. Since the scan uses high field strength, the investigators will be able to see effects of citalopram on different subfields within the amygdala which will help to understand how citalopram might be working.
This study aims to investigate that neural activity of higher cognitve function of human brain with hyperflexible neural electrode-cortex
This is a single center, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study to determine the acute effect of a developmental dietary supplement liquid shot product on cognitive task performance and perceived effect measures related to mood and mental energy. The study will be conducted in healthy participants.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of a digital therapeutic (EndeavorOTC®, also known as AKL-T01A) on clinical symptoms of executive and cognitive functioning in a real-world sample of university students. This study aims to answer whether EndeavorOTC represents a useful intervention for targeting broad cognitive and emotional health among university students.
The present study aimed to determine the effects of acute concurrent exercise on inhibitory control via behavioral and event-related potential approaches and to examine its potential mediational role on lactate among younger adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: (1) Does acute concurrent exercise improve inhibitory control via behavioral and event-related potential approaches? (2) Does lactate play a potential mediational role in the effect of acute concurrent exercise on inhibitory control?
This study will be conducted in a hospital in Spain to investigate how a special intervention using immersive virtual reality technology can benefit hospitalized older adults with difficulties in their daily functionality. The main objective of this study is to evaluate whether a cognitive stimulation intervention through immersive virtual reality, along with specific physical exercises, can improve the cognitive and physical function of hospitalized older patients. It is expected that this innovative intervention will have a positive impact on the quality of life of these patients. Participants eligible for the study must be over 75 years old, have severe functional dependency upon hospital admission, and be willing to participate. Those with severe dementia or other terminal illnesses will be excluded. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four study groups: a control group without intervention and three intervention groups, including viewing Spanish landscapes through virtual reality, performing specific physical exercises, or a combination of both interventions. At the end of the study, various aspects such as cognitive and physical function, mood, quality of life, muscle strength, and acceptance of virtual reality technology by patients will be evaluated. This study aims to provide new insights into the care of hospitalized older adults and explore innovative ways to improve their well-being during their hospital stay
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effect of dulaglutide adjuvant treatment in patients with bipolar disorder with obesity, in addition to exploring the effect of GLP-1RA on cognition of bipolar disorder.
Cognitive processing involves many interrelated cognitive domains, such as performing daily tasks, attention, language, and memory. 70% of individuals with stroke experience cognitive problems. Due to cognitive problems, individuals with stroke have difficulty processing and planning information. This situation negatively affects daily living activities and returning to work. Cognitive disorders that occur after stroke negatively affect the functional independence of individuals. At the same time, individuals with stroke have difficulty structuring and organizing information. The individual may not be able to pay sufficient attention during the activity in terms of planning, automatic attention and adaptation to the stages required by the job. Cognitive evaluation should include cognition, orientation, and higher cortical functions because the cognitive process is a very complex process. Assessment methods frequently used in cognitive evaluation of stroke patients; Scales and tests such as Simple Mental Test, Mini Mental State Test, Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale, Wechsler Memory and Intelligence Test are used. General problems with these evaluations; Some of them have a long application period, some of them have problems in perception of the patients, and some of them have a low power to distinguish the cognitive problems of the patients. When the Brief Assessment of Cognitive Impairment Scale, a newly introduced scale in the literature, is examined; It attracts attention because the items are very simple for patients to perceive, combine cognitive tests and cognitive questionnaires, have a short application period, and have not shown a ceiling or floor effect in previous studies. For all these reasons, this study was planned to conduct the Turkish validity and reliability study of the Brief Assessment of Cognitive Impairment Scale.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate acute changes in rates of fat oxidation during exercise with and without the ingestion of a caffeine-based energy drink.
