Filter by:The goal of this comparative pilot study is to provide evidence that Praxis, a portable testbed with low-cost wearable sensors and a mixed reality environment, can deliver effective multisensory rehabilitation exercises with military face-validity in a military service member (SM) population after mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI). The main questions this comparative pilot study aims to answer are: - Can the Praxis testbed provide feasible/acceptable 4-week multisensory rehabilitation for SMs with post-acute mTBI? - Can Praxis detect and influence measurable changes in readiness performance during mTBI recovery? Fifteen SMs with post-acute mTBI from the Center for the Intrepid's Special Operations Performance and Recovery (SPaR) Program will participate in the multisensory vestibular rehabilitation regimen. These SMs will go through 4 weeks of multisensory vestibular rehabilitation including: - gaze stabilization - dual-task balance training - spatial navigation - agility training Data from another fifteen SMs, who will not go through the multisensory rehabilitation regimen and will receive supervised cardiovascular exercise, will be used as the control group. Researchers will compare the Praxis and Control group to determine if the Praxis group shows improvement over the control group with respect to the military-relevant behavioral performance outcomes and patient-reported symptom scores after the end of the rehabilitation.
The goal of this prospective, single site, interventional randomized control trial is to treat age related health conditions in adults older than 65 years and functional independence. The main question of the study is to answer the effectiveness of notification on activity, sleep, and nutrition based on wearable device Fitbit recorded data for the improvement of health conditions including intellectual property and physical function, compared to usual care. Participants in the intervention arm will be given a Fitbit Charge 5 device and asked to wear this for the duration of the study, including during sleep. The study intervention will run for 6 months. Notifications will be issued using a monitoring software in Japanese, and issued automatically to participants. Participants in the control arm will be given a routine care and health-related information. Researchers will compare cognitive performance, muscle mass and physical activity between the two groups to see if the notification based on Fitbit data would promote the health conditions of older adults.
The goal of this 13-year follow up of a randomized control trial is to study the effect of maternal choline supplementation on offspring cognition in adolescence. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Does a higher dose of maternal choline choline (930 mg/d day supplementation) lead to improved cognition in adolescence including hippocampal-dependent episodic memory and executive functioning when compared to lower dose supplementation (480 mg/d). In this follow-up of a clinical trial participants will complete online cognition testing and emotion testing.
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.
The proposed project will assess long-term changes to health/lifestyle, advanced planning, and research engagement that Black and White patients with Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI) make following disclosure of positron emission tomography-based amyloid and tau burden and associated risk of conversion to Dementia-Alzheimer's Type. Healthcare access will be explored as potential barrier to or facilitator of behavior change.
In our institute there is ongoing treatment of brain injury patients with Hyperbaric oxygen therapy. These patients undergo neuro-cognitive function tests in addition to brain imaging studies before and after treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the perfusion and microstructure changes seen in MRI in addition to the cognitive tests before and after the treatment.
The purpose of this research is to explore the relationship of metamemory and memory of elders and to evaluate the effectiveness of a metamemory cognitive intervention on elders with mild cognitive impairment and low memory self-efficacy.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect after 12 weeks of the oral intake of Lecitone®Se + 200UI/day of D3 vitamin with the effect of a placebo on changes in cognitive performance in Trial Making Test score part B (this test evaluate executive functions of mental flexibility) in older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).
This is a prospective, double-blinded, control trial. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment is used to screen preoperative mild cognitive impairment in 582 consecutive geriatric patients, scheduled for general, vascular or urological surgery under general and/or regional anesthesia.
This study will recruit a total of 150 evaluable subjects (30 cognitively normal volunteers, and 60 MCI(Mild cognitive impairment), and 60 AD(Alzheimer's disease), respectively) Each evaluable subject involved in this study must fulfill all the inclusion and exclusion criteria according the subject grouping. Safety measurement will be evaluated by medical history, vital signs, physical examinations, laboratory examinations and collecting of adverse events. This study is expected to be completed in a period of 3 years.
