Filter by:Digital medicine is a useful clinical resource for people with cognitive disorders. Scientific literature has shown that in people with dementia neuropsychological instruments administered in remote are characterized by high psychometric quality and satisfaction levels. However, evidence about the reliability of remote neuropsychological domain-specific tests is still limited in the Italian context. The principal aims of the study will be 1) to evaluate the reliability of the remote administration of neuropsychological screening and domain-specific tests compared to the face-to-face administration in patients with cognitive disorders; 2) to assess the feasibility and level of satisfaction of patients and caregivers about remote administration. All participants will be submitted to both face-to-face and remote neuropsychological assessment (by videoconference) in a counterbalanced cross-over design. Finally, all patients and/or caregivers will complete a satisfaction questionnaire about the remote administration.
The aim of the MAPEG 2 study is to explore gustatory function and to follow its evolution in the 5 following groups of participants: - Healthy subjects - Participants with isolated cognitive complaint - Participants with minor neurocognitive disorder - Participants with mild Alzheimer-type major neurocognitive disorders - Participants with moderate Alzheimer-type major neurocognitive disorders For this purpose, we want to compare the results of the following tests: - Subjective taste tests (tasting solutions, answering food preference questionnaires), - Gustatory evoked potential (GEP) parameters, recorded by electrodes placed on the scalp, - And nutritional parameters (hormones of food intake by blood test, measurement of the global body composition). Identifying and following the evolution of early taste disorders in case of cognitive disorders could improve the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease in two ways: - To allow an early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, and thus improve its management, - To define groups of subjects at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease in later years.
This is a First-in-Human, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Single Ascending Oral Dose Study of SDI-118 in Healthy Male Subjects including Receptor Occupancy Measurements after Single Dose of SDI-118 and an Assessment of Food Effect.
Background : The supplementary motor area is the most common/preferential brain location of LGG. This area plays an important role in many motor and cognitive functions such as motor initiation, bimanual coordination and executive functions. Many studies describe the supplementary motor area syndrome resulting from lesions in this area. News managements for LGGs consisting in intraoperative mapping in awake patients reduce significantly neurological disorders and increase also the overall survival . However, the literature does not provide data concerning motor and cognitive functions in a long term and their consequences in the quality of life of patients. Objective : The aim of our research project is to identify whether there are some motor or neurocognitive deficit in the short and the long term in a population of patients who have medical story of LGG resection in the supplementary motor area.
Approximately 24 million people worldwide suffer from dementia, with Alzheimer's disease being the most common cause. Alzheimer's disease typically progresses in three stages: presymptomatic, prodromal ("early onset" or minor cognitive impairment) and major cognitive impairment with loss of autonomy and significant psycho-behavioral symptoms. Efforts to counteract its expansion are increasing, and there is a need for biomarkers to identify the disease in its earliest stage in order to provide prompt treatment. Faced with a episodic memory disorder, it is possible, thanks to certain criteria, highlighted by neuroimaging, or by biomarkers obtained by biological analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (during a lumbar puncture), to detect Alzheimer's disease from the prodromal stage, or even earlier. The main limitation of these criteria is their invasive nature. Other non-invasive biomarkers would therefore be useful to help diagnose Alzheimer's disease at an early stage. Gustatory evoked potentials (GEP), a technique for exploring taste sensory pathways, could meet these needs. Indeed, GEPs are a method of exploring the gustatory sensory pathway based on the recording of cerebral electrical activity by electroencephalography (EEG). It is a painless, accessible, inexpensive and non-invasive technique. The alteration of gustatory functions is present in many neurological conditions, but often takes second place to sensory or motor symptoms. Rare studies have studied taste in patients with Alzheimer's disease, but they have demonstrated, using subjective tests only, an early gustatory impairment linked to a degeneration of the gustatory cortex. It was observed that the performance of subjects with minor or major cognitive impairment was weaker than that of healthy subjects, without the patient being aware of these taste disorders. The aim of the study is to explore taste functions in patients with minor cognitive impairment, major cognitive impairment such as mild Alzheimer's disease, by comparing them to healthy subjects. For this purpose, we wish to compare the results of subjective taste tests (tasting solutions, especially salty ones, answering food preference questionnaires), parameters of taste evoked potentials recorded by electrodes stuck on the scalp and hormonal parameters obtained by blood sampling, between the three groups of subjects mentioned.
The clinical trial to valuate efficacy and safety of MMH-MAP in the treatment of cognitive disorders in patients with ischemic stroke in the carotid arteries.
HYPOTHESIS: The Spanish version of the Everyday Cognition Battery Scale (ECB) is valid and reliable in the Spanish population. OBJECTIVES: • Providing a validated scale in Spanish to evaluate daily cognition in older adults. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: - Translating the original English version of the ECB into Spanish. - Adapting the scale to the sociocultural context of Spain. - Checking the psychometric characteristics (reliability and validity) of the translated version . STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional descriptive study. Permission to use the ECB scale will be requested to the author, Allaire JC. Translation and adaptation of the scale. Administration of the four tests of the ECB to the individuals participating in the study. Administration of the Rapid Evaluation of Cognitive Functions (RECF) and Lawton and Brody scales. Analysis of the psychometric characteristics of the translated version. The protocol has been authorized by the Ethics Committee of the Salamanca health area to make the project possible.
Alzheimer's disease is the leading cause of dementia in people over 60 years of age. It is characterized by a decline in memory, learning ability and other cognitive domains (language, gnosis, praxis, attention), with a gradual progression of cognitive and behavioral symptoms. Because of the difficulties it causes in carrying out daily living activities, it has a very significant impact on the autonomy of patients suffering from it. To date, there are various non-drug strategies available to manage these difficulties. Thus, in recent years, more and more studies have shown the benefits that can be gained by several patients care including physical activity, on cognitive function and general quality of life of the elderly people without cognitive impairment but also for patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease or a related pathology. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of adapted physical activity on self-esteem and motivation in patients with neurocognitive disorders. Stimulation groups are proposed within the Claude Pompidou Institute. Within these groups we offer an adapted physical activity program that we have developed in our department. More specifically, it is a study that aims to evaluate the impact of physical activity on the self-esteem and motivation of patients who perform these exercises for 12 weeks, at the rate of one hour per week. The interest of this study lies in the validation of the effectiveness of such patient care, which would make it possible to promote its dissemination and strengthen the accessibility of this type of non-drug management to elderly people suffering from neurocognitive disorders.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of Food, Gender, and Age on the Pharmacokinetic Profile of SUVN-G3031 in Healthy Subjects
The aim of this study is to evaluate whether the Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is effective on improvement of cognitive disorders in Multiple sclerosis patients.
