Filter by:The trial is designed to examine whether Yizhi Baduanjin could slow down and improve in memory, logical thinking and cerebral function in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). 30 MCI patients will be recruited and randomly assigned to Yizhi Baduanjin intervention group control group for 6 months. The primary outcome is changes in Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) questionnaire; other outcome includes Cognitive Function Assessment questionnaire.
Previous studies indicated that auditory stimulation as an external cue might have positive impacts on sensorimotor synchronization. Additionally, according to previous reports apart from traditional interventions, digitized game-based device, such as FTOMBVG, are beneficial for the brain activation in elderly. Moreover, enhanced finger force control and coordination lead to better hand dexterity and is believed to eventually improve life independence in the healthy elderly and the elderly with cognitive decline. Therefore, this study aims to develop an advanced systems based on the previous one, that can provide hand function rehabilitation, cognitive training, and emotional comfort for the elderly or people suffer from cognitive deficiency. They can enhance their finger force control or visual to motor synchronization by music embedded during the gaming process.
At present, many literatures have confirmed that the Mediterranean diet has the effect of delaying cognitive degeneration in patients with mild cognitive impairment, and can also slow down the speed of brain atrophy. In addition to the highly respected Mediterranean diet every year, several years of foreign research have found The maintenance of oral hygiene also has a significant relationship with the decline of cognitive function. The intervention of "oral hygiene" is a new intervention method that has started in recent years. Oral health will affect the overall health status, physical function, diet and nutritional status of the elderly. In particular, older adults with poor oral health are more likely to suffer from mild cognitive impairment. The relationship between oral health and nutrition and overall health is inseparable. If the concept of healthy eating (Mediterranean diet) recognized by the public is used and oral health education is involved at the same time. To allow patients with mild cognitive impairment to maintain oral health care in daily life, and to increase the knowledge of the Mediterranean diet and try to follow the rules of the Mediterranean diet, whether there is a more significant impact on these patients.
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is the moderate impairment of a mental abilities to perform intellectual activities eg memory, calculation, communication... MCI is a disorder that can occur earlier than dementia such as Alzheimer's disease. It is believed that there are several factors involved such as inflammation and oxidative stress which is the production of reactive oxygen species that damage cells. This clinical study tries to evaluate that a treatment already approved by the AEMPS, EGb 761® (Tebofortan), could reduce the levels of markers of inflammation and oxidation in the blood.
The goal of this Phase 2 MCI study is to determine whether 1.0 mg/kg XPro1595 is superior to placebo at improving measures of cognition, functioning and brain quality in individuals with MCI and biomarkers associated with neuroinflammation (APOE4) and to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of XPro1595.
The main purpose of this study is to compare donanemab to aducanumab on brain amyloid plaque clearance in participants with early symptomatic Alzheimer's Disease (AD).
This study will evaluate the effects of CST-2032 when administered with pre-administered CST-107 on safety, tolerability, cognition, cerebral perfusion, and cerebral metabolism in patients with cognitive impairment.
This study investigates the neural mechanisms of cognitive function decline, cognitive assessment methods for subjects with mild cognitive dysfunction (Mild cognitive impairment, MCI, or cognitive decline milder than MCI), and the approaches used to improve and restore cognitive function.
This study is to evaluate whether the consumption of probiotics can improve the symptoms of patients with mild cognitive impairment; also evaluate the effects of probiotics on patients' blood, oxidation and stress related indicators.
Caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia rarely get the preparation or training they need to manage their caregiving responsibilities and to successfully balance their own self-care and their caregiving roles. As a result, caregivers often experience caregiver burden, emotional distress, and substance abuse. Therefore, there is a critical need to support the emotional and social functioning of caregivers to improve their health and well-being and to prevent caregiver burden and poor coping. Problem solving training (PST) is an evidence-based approach that teaches and empowers individuals to solve emergent problems contributing to their depressive symptoms, helps improve coping skills and increases self-efficacy. However, critical gaps in knowledge and care remain regarding the necessary components of training (eg. How many sessions? What is the influence of personal factors?) that affect how effective PST is for individual caregivers. Finally, caregiver interventions have almost exclusively been tested in English-speaking caregivers, further contributing to existing health disparities among minority groups. To address this critical need, Dr. Shannon Juengst, Assistant Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation was awarded a new Texas Alzheimer's Research and Care Consortium Collaborative Research Grant entitled, "Problem Solving Training (PST) for English- and Spanish-speaking Care Partners of Adults with Alzheimer's and Alzheimer's Related Dementia." For this project, Dr. Juengst has assembled a strong, multidisciplinary team with Dr. Gladys Maestre, Professor of Biomedical Sciences and Director of the NIA funded-Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center for Minority and Aging Research and Memory Disorders Center at UT Rio Grande Valley and Dr. Matthew Smith, Associate Professor of Environmental and Occupational Health and Co-Director of the Center for Population Health and Aging at Texas A&M University. This project will establish the necessary guidelines for an evidence-based, implementable problem-solving intervention for both English- and Spanish-speaking caregivers to improve their health and well-being and identify potential mechanisms of action for such training.
