Filter by:Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy and safety of Fufangdanshen Tablets in patients with mild to moderate vascular dementia (VaD).
This is a phase II, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, multicentre study to the efficacy and safety of low dose delta-9-THC in behavioural disturbances and pain in patients with mild to severe dementia, when added to an analgesic treatment with acetaminophen. It is hypothesized that Namisol® will lead to more behavioural disturbances than placebo, when added to an analgesic treatment with acetaminophen, and as measured by a change in Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) score, after a three week treatment period. It is expected that this will be due, primarily, to psychoactive effects of Namisol® and secondary to a reduction in pain sensation (as measured with VRS and PACSLAC-D). It is expected that a reduction in NPS will positively affect quality of life and lead to better functioning in daily living.
The objectives of this phase II study of STA-1 capsule was to make preliminary evaluation on clinical efficacy and safety of STA-1 capsule in order that based on the dosage and study structure planned in this project, the dosage and study structure of phase III study can be confirmed.
The purpose of this study is to assess the performance of AclarusDx™, an investigational blood test detecting gene expression information, and intended to help physicians in making an Alzheimer's Disease diagnosis in patients having memory impairments.
This study will be an observational study in which patients who have been prescribed CerefolinNAC® are invited to participate in surveys regarding their experiences with CerefolinNAC®. CerefolinNAC® is a medical food indicated for the distinct nutritional requirements of individuals under treatment for early memory loss with particular emphasis for those individuals diagnosed with or at risk for neurovascular oxidative stress and/or hyperhomocysteinemia; mild to moderate cognitive impairment with or without vitamin B12 deficiency, vascular dementia or Alzheimer's disease. The purpose of this study is to increase the understanding of the role of CerefolinNAC® in managing proper neuronal function in the brain, provide patients with personalized education and support, and contribute to the overall understanding of the needs and concerns of patients being treated for early memory loss.
Longitudinal observational study of cognitive functions, physical health and biological parameters in the whole population living in Abbiategrasso born between 1935 and 1939,1773 subjects, followed for six years in order to know the prevalence and the incidence of dementia and risk and protective factors of normal and pathological mental aging. The peculiarities of this study that must assure the outcome efficacy are: - Selected age: since 70-75 years old people represents a transition age from adulthood to old age, it is of special interest to study the evolution of psychic and physical functions of this population - Whole population not a sample study - Location: the small area involved (Abbiategrasso is a town of 30.000 inhabitants)can contribute to guarantee more homogeneity among the subjects and reduce undesired variability - multidimensional assessment(biological, clinical, social, psychological data collected) After initial screening, the recruited population will be followed up for two more times (every two years )
The main objective of this non-interventional study was to document the long-term application of galantamine and nootropics (memory enhancing drugs) over a period of 1 year under conditions of daily routine. There were no predefined specifications of diagnostic and therapeutic measures. The decision for treatment with either galantamine or a nootropic had to be made by the treating physician prior to the start of documentation. The following measures were to be documented: safety, tolerability, dementia-associated symptoms (unstable walking, vertigo, awakening at night, shouting/screaming at night, perambulating at night, aggressiveness, agitation, apathy/social retreat, delusions, hallucinations, behavior that poses a risk to self or others, and daytime tiredness), frequency of admissions to nursing homes or nursing services, global functional level, caregiver's burden, and time spent on caregiving. Furthermore, this study aimed to gather knowledge on the differentiated use of the two treatment strategies considering the specific diagnosis of dementia (e.g. Alzheimer's disease only or mixed dementia, i.e. Alzheimer's disease and cerebrovascular disease) and risk profiles.
This clinical trial was performed to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of two 4 week treatment courses of daily intravenous administration of Cerebrolysin (20mL [milliliter] IV [intravenous] per day). The study was performed as prospective, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multicentre study with 2 study groups. Group 1: 20 mL Cerebrolysin and 100 mg (milligram) acetylsalicylic acid Group 2: Placebo (0.9% NaCl [sodium chloride]) and 100 mg acetylsalicylic acid The study drug was given once daily by intravenous infusion (20ml in 250ml saline solution) for 4 weeks on five consecutive days per week. This treatment regimen was repeated after a two-month treatment-free interval. Acetylsalicylic acid was given orally, once daily throughout the study duration of 24 weeks. Altogether five clinical evaluation visits at Baseline (day 0) and at week 4, 12, 16, and 24 were necessary.
The Aricept® Evess study is a prospective, non-comparative, non-interventional study on use of Aricept® Evess in the treatment of out-patients with AD and Vascular Dementia. The 24 week length of the study aims to collect data from a large number of patients (n= 400) on the safety and efficacy at the usual dosage of the product providing an overview of Aricept® Evess profile.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of PDE-3 inhibitor, cilostazol, in prevention and treatment of vascular dementia, in those with brain white matter lesions and vascular risk factors.
