This randomized controlled trial explores the efficacy of an 8-week standing exergaming program in people with major neurocognitive disorder (MNCD) residing in long-term care facilities.
This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover trial that aims to 1) determine the efficacy of THC-free cannabidiol (CBD oil) in reducing the severity of agitation among participants and 2) determine whether THC-free CBD oil can reduce the burden on caregivers and increase the participants' quality of life.
The primary aim of this study is to investigate the effects of exogenously administered nicotinamide riboside (NR) on brain energy metabolism, oxidative stress, and cognitive function in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild Alzheimer's dementia (AD).
New IDEAS is an observational, open-label, longitudinal cohort study designed to address the requirements of the CED provisions of the NCD on beta-amyloid PET. Building on the initial Imaging Dementia-Evidence for Amyloid Scanning (IDEAS) study, New IDEAS will evaluate the association between amyloid PET and patient-centered outcomes in an expanded and more ethnoracially and clinically diverse group of Medicare participants presenting with cognitive impairment.
This is an interventional, sham controlled, double-blind study designed to investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of 40 Hz transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), a form of noninvasive brain stimulation, delivered for 6 weeks once daily in frontotemporal dementia (FTD) patients. Cognition, gamma EEG activity and brain metabolism via FDG-PET will be measured before and after the tACS intervention.
The research team will train primary care practitioners from Kansas City clinics to enhance skills in cultural competence, dementia detection, treatment and referral to a Health Navigator among Latinos 65 and older with dementia. The Health Navigator will provide patient/caregiver dyads referred by Alianza Latina providers with care management, psychosocial support and links to relevant community resources. Outcomes include feasibility and acceptability of 1) PCP training and 2) patient and caregiver dementia care.
This study will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of AVP-786 (deudextromethorphan hydrobromide [d6-DM]/quinidine sulfate [Q]) compared to placebo for the treatment of agitation in participants with dementia of the Alzheimer's type.
Study J4B-MC-OKAA is a Phase 1/2, multi-center, open-label ascending dose, first-in-human study that will evaluate the safety and effect of intra-cisternal LY3884963 administration on progranulin protein (PGRN) levels in patients with frontotemporal dementia with progranulin mutations (FTD-GRN). Two escalating dose (low dose and medium dose) cohorts are planned, as well as one bridging cohort which will allocate patients to receive either low or medium dose. The duration of the study is 5 years. During the first year, patients will be evaluated for the effect of LY3884963 on safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, biomarkers, and efficacy. Patients will follow up for an additional 4 years to monitor safety and changes on selected biomarkers and clinical outcomes.
The objective of this trial will be to establish whether the ultrasound-guided suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block is capable of protecting geriatric patients with hip fracture from delirium as compared to placebo
