Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of three on-line wellness interventions for improving physical and cognitive function and brain connectivity in adults who are at least 55 years old and are experiencing symptoms of memory and/or cognitive difficulties.
The purpose of this study is to test whether treatment-resistant late life depression is associated with declines in memory and attention and brain structure and function.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanism of action of transcranial electrical brain stimulation over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex for cognitive impairment in schizophrenia. To do so the effect of a 3-mA stimulation protocol on neurocognitive functions will be investigated using behavioral performance and fMRI.
Study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of luvadaxistat compared with placebo on improving cognitive performance in participants with schizophrenia.
This study will investigate the efficacy of novel biomarkers, namely blood-based biomarkers, pupillometry and actigraphy to track and predict progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Furthermore, the study will investigate the diagnostic value of pupillometry and actigraphy for AD.
The purpose of the study is to explore the potential effectiveness of two common low-dose interventions, one targeting cognitive difficulties and the other targeting affective difficulties on quality of life and cognition in people suffering from long-COVID with cognitive complaints.
The goal of the Dortmund Vital Study is to validate previous hypotheses and to generate and validate new hypotheses about the relationship of ageing, working conditions, genetic makeup, stress, metabolic functions, cardiovascular system, immune system, and mental performance over the lifespan with a focus on healthy working adults. The Dortmund Vital Study is a multidisciplinary longitudinal study involving the Departments of Ergonomics, Immunology, Psychology and Neurosciences, and Toxicology of the Leibniz Research Centre for Working Environment and Human Factors at the TU Dortmund (IfADo) in Dortmund, Germany, as well as several national and international cooperation partners.
Cancer-related cognitive problems, also known as "brain fog", have a significant impact on patients with cancer and cancer survivors. Previous studies indicate that cancer and cancer treatments can negatively affect memory, attention and thinking abilities. Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) are individuals with a cancer diagnosis, who are currently between 18 to 40 years old. These individuals are especially vulnerable to brain fog symptoms due to the effect these symptoms have on their education, employment, health behaviors, mental health, and social relationships. There is a clear need for programming directed at brain fog symptoms among AYAs with cancer diagnoses. The 'Coping with Brain Fog' program, developed by Maximum Capacity Inc., is an eight-week group program that has been designed to educate patients about their brain fog symptoms and develop strategies to manage these symptoms. In this study the investigators will aim to determine the feasibility of adapting the 'Coping with Brain Fog' program to the virtual setting for AYAs with cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic. The investigators will also aim to explore the efficacy of the program on cognitive functioning and symptoms of anxiety, depression and fatigue. This study is an important step towards finding ways to treat brain fog symptoms in cancer patients, and could help guide future studies and programs.
Emerging studies in humans found that 40 Hz sound induces neural gamma oscillation and enhanced cognitive function in older adults with and without Alzheimer's Disease. We will compare a 40 Hz music intervention to both 40 Hz sound and music alone in a clinical cohort of older adults with mild cognitive impairment.
This study is a randomized, single-blind, controlled trial that will test a multilevel intervention, Tiempo Juntos para la Salud, (Time Together for Health) designed to promote moderate-intensity physical activity; theoretically grounded mediators; and secondary outcomes of cardiovascular health, sleep and cognitive function. Participants will have 4 visits over a year long period. Data collection will occur at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months among 216 Spanish language-dominant Latinos aged 55 and older with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) [Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score 23 to 26 for Latino populations].
