Filter by:Apheleia-001 is a prescreener that aims to identify and characterize participants with reported cognitive impairment using demographic information, clinical history, brief cognitive assessments, and blood-based biomarkers to distinguish appropriate participants for referral to a therapeutic AD clinical trial.
As our population ages, more older adults face motor-cognitive declines, increasing their risk of falls and fear of falling. Exercise is an effective way to maintain cognitive function, as supported by recent studies. However, those with poor motor and cognitive abilities often struggle to visit rehabilitation centers, leading to high dropout rates and low adherence to unsupervised programs. A remote exercise program tailored for individuals with cognitive impairments is urgently needed to preserve cognitive function, promote independent living, and reduce related costs. Researchers aim to develop an in-home system for adults with mild cognitive issues or dementia, designed to improve balance and cognition while being remotely supervised through telemedicine.
The proposed project aims to systematically examine the feasibility of remote, caregiver-led tACS for older adults who are vulnerable to memory decline.
The purpose of this study (Bio-Hermes) is to develop a blood, digital, and brain amyloid PET scan biomarker database that can be used to determine whether a meaningful relationship exists between digital tests, blood amyloid-beta, p-tau, and neurofilament biomarker levels and amyloid-beta levels identified through brain amyloid PET images. Blood collected will also be genetically sequenced to gain insights about genes and brain amyloid. The Bio-Hermes study will include 1,000 volunteers over the age of 60 screened for Preclinical Alzheimer's Disease, Prodromal AD, or Mild Dementia AD, and includes an endpoint enrollment requirement of 200 participants from underrepresented minority populations.
The primary objective of this project is to assess the feasibility of multi-field, extended HD-tDCS (MFE-HD-tDCS) with simultaneous computerized CT as a viable intervention to improve cognitive function in patients with MCI. This double-blinded, randomized pilot clinical trial of repetitive daily HD-tDCS/sham HD-tDCS, administered in combination with CT to subjects with MCI in 3 monthly blocks of 5 daily sessions for a total of 15 sessions will enroll 8 participants.
Memory performance is shown to be affected by age stereotypes among older adults. The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of age stereotype primes on episodic memory using priming intervention. The moderating effects of social participation is also examined.
The present study will refine and conduct a preliminary efficacy evaluation of Care to Plan. Care to Plan is an online care planning tool that provides a succinct and clear overview of various types of dementia caregiver interventions, administers a brief validated assessment of risk, and generates individualized recommendations for dementia caregivers as well as resources that link users to a selected recommendation. There remains a lack of individualized information that can directly meet the diverse needs of caregivers or their relatives with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia (ADRD). This project will advance scientific knowledge, technical capability, and clinical practice as they pertain to ADRD management and caregiver support.
The purpose of this study is to test the effect of a cocoa-derived dietary flavanol on brain structures and cognitive outcomes in a 12-week randomized controlled trial of 146 healthy participants, age 50-69, who will receive this cocoa derivative or a placebo. Th investigators will also examine the role of inflammation in this relationship.
The Etude Study is a multi-center, four-arm prospective dose-adjusting study designed to assess the tolerability, safety and efficacy of non-invasive sensory stimulation for patients with cognitive impairment.
The goal of this study is to determine the acceptability, utility, and preliminary effectiveness of a facial recognition technology for persons with memory concerns and their family care partners.
