NCT ID: NCT02849275 Completed - Clinical trials for Physiological Stress

Effects of Probiotics on Cognition and Health

EPOCH
Start date: August 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This research intervention aims to examine the effects of a fermented dairy beverage on changes in behavioral and biological measures of cognition and stress among adults.

NCT ID: NCT02758093 Completed - HIV Clinical Trials

Speed of Processing Training in Adults With HIV

SOP
Start date: September 28, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

As people age with HIV, the synergistic effects with normal age-related cognitive declines will accentuate and/or accelerate declines in cognitive functioning which can be detected as early in one's 40s. Although interventions are needed to protect/improve cognitive functioning, one intervention already exists to improve speed of processing. NINR/NIA (January 14, 2014) announced that Speed of Processing Training used in the ACTIVE Study (N = 2,802 community-dwelling older adults) has the ability to enable "older people to maintain their cognitive abilities as they age" even 10 years after training. As shown in the ACTIVE Study, this intervention uniquely improves driving, instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), health-related quality of life, self-rated health, internal locus of control, and protects one from depression; these represent areas of needed intervention for adults with HIV as well. In adults with HIV, previous pilot studies likewise indicate speed of processing declines are associated with poorer driving simulator performance and more self-reported at-fault automobile crashes; such speed of processing declines on driving alone represent a significant public health concern. These studies also demonstrated that Speed of Processing Training improved this cognitive ability and translated into improved performance on a timed measure of IADLs. Based on prior research, this RCT proposal consists of a pre-post two-year longitudinal experimental design whereby 264 adults with HIV, 40+ years and diagnosed with HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorder, will be randomly assigned to one of three training conditions: 1) 10 hours of laboratory-based Speed of Processing Training, 2) 20 hours of laboratory-based Speed of Processing Training, or 3) 10 hours of a standardized computer-contact control (sham) condition. AIM 1: Determine whether 10 vs 20 hours of speed of processing training will improve this cognitive ability at post-test, year 1, and year 2 after baseline. AIM 2: Determine whether 10 vs 20 hours of speed of processing training will improve everyday functioning at post-test, year 1, and year 2 after baseline. Exploratory AIM: Determine whether improvement in speed in speed of processing and/or everyday functioning over time mediate improvement quality of life (e.g., depression, health related quality of life).

NCT ID: NCT02332083 Completed - Cognition - Other Clinical Trials

Innovative Training Program for Elderly in Need of Care

Start date: August 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this randomized controlled study was to examine the effects of a 8 weeks innovative training regime (stochastic resonance whole-body vibration [SR-WBV] and virtual virtual games [VG]) in the skilling up phase on physical performance, cognition and falls in elderly in need of care population.

NCT ID: NCT02301247 Completed - Memory Impairment Clinical Trials

Treating New Learning and Memory Deficits in Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Start date: November 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is a double-blind placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial (RCT) to provide Class I evidence in support of or in refute of the efficacy of the modified Story Memory Technique (mSMT) in persons with progressive MS, with outcome measured through three mechanisms: (1) a traditional neuropsychological evaluation (NPE) (2) an assessment of global functioning (AGF) examining the impact of the treatment on daily activities, and (3) an optional functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scan.

NCT ID: NCT01856829 Completed - Cognition - Other Clinical Trials

Effect of Omega-3 Phospholipids on Perceptual-cognitive Training

Start date: May 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Omega 3 in the form of phospholipids are the main component of nerve cells and their oral intake is known to have a positive impact on behavior disorders such as depression or bipolar disorder. Their consumption would improve brain function while increasing the ability to concentrate. The study aims to determine the effect of an increase in Omega 3 in the form of phospholipids on the processing of visual information in the brain and in particular the attention and perceptual-cognitive learning in a three dimensions environment. Eighty subjects (40 young (18-35 years) and 40 older (60-75 years)) divided into four groups, two Omega-3 (20 young and 20 older) and two other placebo (20 young and 20 elderly ), will in this study, performing a complex perceptual-cognitive task such as the pursuit of moving objects in a 3D space. This stimulus was chosen because it is very similar to the situations of daily life, but also because it involves a mechanism of perceptual-cognitive level. The main objective is to demonstrate the positive effect of Omega-3 phospholipids on the perceptual-cognitive training.

NCT ID: NCT01401153 Completed - Cognition - Other Clinical Trials

Cognition Intervention Study Dortmund

CogniDO
Start date: May 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Major aim of this study is to add scientifically proven insights into cognitive effects of meals to the existing recommendations for school meals in Germany. As a first step the short-term effects of skipping lunch on children's cognitive functioning in the afternoon will be examined in a cross-over trial. The study is conducted in a large comprehensive school in Gelsenkirchen (Germany) including about 150 children.

NCT ID: NCT00881764 Completed - Cognition - Other Clinical Trials

PANDA (Pediatric Anesthesia & NeuroDevelopment Assessment) Study

Start date: May 2009
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of anesthetic agents in infants and children have long term adverse effects on neurocognitive development. According to the National Hospital Discharge Survey, around 2.5 million children have surgical procedures requiring anesthesia each year in the US. Recent animal studies have suggested that the exposure of the immature organism to a variety of commonly used anesthetic agents may lead to neurobehavioral functional deficits in vivo and to neuronal apoptosis in vitro. While the relevance of these findings on children exposed to anesthetics remains to be determined, it is clearly critically important to public health that this issue is resolved quickly and clearly. Hypothesis: Exposure to anesthetic agents within the first three years of life will not significantly impair cognitive functions at ages 8 yr, 0 mo to 15 yr, 0 mo.
