Filter by:The goal of this prospective observational research with an 8-year follow-up is to study the cognitive changes in the elderly in YuGarden community, Shanghai, China. The main questions it aims to answer are: - incidence of cognitive impairment in community (converting to mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease) - to build a predictive model for the progression of cognitive impairment
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about whether music therapy can ameliorate cognitive function, physical fitness and psychology in mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia population. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. To build a model of multimodal music therapy. 2. To discuss the effect of twelve-week multimodal music therapy in ameliorating community-based elders with MCI and mild dementia. Main outcome variables: cognitive function (Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale, trail making test, Saint Louis University Mental Status Examination). Secondary outcome variables: physical fitness (muscle strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, balance ability), depression.
This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effectiveness of an immersive virtual reality (IVR) application (focused on a daily activity) to train cognitive functions and its impact on depression and the ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). With a dose of two sessions per week during six weeks, the study showed significant improvements in cognitive functions and reduction in depression, with notable effects in the experimental group. This underscores the potential of IVR as a valuable tool in the management of MCI.
Dementia is the most common disease in older individuals and this century's biggest healthcare challenge. Many patients who visit the memory clinic with memory complaints do not have dementia but instead are diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or subjective cognitive decline (SCD). MCI or SCD may be a pre-dementia stage. Many patients with MCI or SCD often leave their consultation with unanswered questions, and unsure what they, themselves can do to reduce dementia risk. Patients with MCI and SCD have a heightened risk of developing dementia. Therefore, this group would possibly benefit most from preventive strategies. Around 40% of dementia cases is attributable to modifiable factors. Thus, managing a healthy lifestyle may reduce dementia risk. To answer the information request many patients have when leaving the memory clinic and to fill the knowledge gap an online tool has been developed. The goal of this mixed-method feasibility study is to investigate the usability, feasibility, patient experience, and effectiveness of the personalized, multi-domain online website in older adults with MCI or SCD. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the new website being used by the target population? - How does the target population experience the use of the website? - What is the effect of using the website? Participants will have access to the website and are free to use the website in any way they want.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the one-year trajectory of changes in depression status in elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment and subthreshold depression, and to explore relevant risk factors for predicting changes in depression status. This one-year prospective longitudinal follow-up study involved 400 (expected) subjects who met the diagnostic criteria for mild cognitive impairment combined with subthreshold depression in the elderly, and their depressive status was assessed using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). Follow up monitoring of depression status at 6 and 12 months. Obtain factors related to changes in depressive status (such as age, gender, education level, cognitive function, anxiety level, sleep status, social support, psychological resilience, social network, etc.). By studying the longitudinal trajectory of depression status in elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment and subthreshold depression, a multi state Markov model with time and state discreteness is constructed, namely: State 1 (normal); State 2 (subliminal depression); State 3 (mild depression); State 4 (moderate depression); State 5 (severe depression). Deeply explore and analyze the impact of certain factors and indicators on the transition between states, and estimate the probability of transition between states.
Mild cognitive impairment affects older adults and it includes memory and attentions deficits, and problem-solving difficulties in activities of daily living. Resisted exercises is considered a viable strategy to improve balance and motor function in older population. Balance exercises comprises proprioceptive, visual and motor learning to a larger degree and has positive effects on memory and spatial cognition and improves balance and motor function. This study aims to determine the effects of resisted and balance exercises on cognition and motor function in patients with mild cognitive impairment.
The purpose of the bpMedManage study is to rigorously test the efficacy of a smartphone technology to help improve high blood pressure medication adherence among older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in a 16-week randomized controlled trial. A total of 100 older adults will be recruited. There will be two treatment arms, bpMedManage-S and bpMedManage-P with 50 participants in each arm. Participants randomized into the bpMEDManage-S intervention arm will use a smartphone application with medication reminders plus receive education with standardized information on hypertension and antihypertensive medications on the education portal. Participants in the bpMedManage-P group will use a smartphone to receive education with standardized information on hypertension and antihypertensive medications on an education portal. Both groups will complete baseline assessments followed by 4 weeks of medication adherence monitoring. At the end of the adherence monitoring period, participants will be randomized into one of the two treatment arms. Immediate outcomes on primary and secondary measures will be assessed 4 weeks after beginning of the intervention. Follow-up outcomes will be assessed 12 weeks after the beginning of the intervention.
The objectives of the engAGE project are to counteract and slow down cognitive decline progression, to enhance the intrinsic capacity of the users, and to support the wellbeing of older persons with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) by providing an ecosystem of services based on an innovative system that integrates social robots.
Pragmatics of language refers to the set of abilities that allow one to use and interpret language according to context and, in general, to communicate effectively. Disorders in the pragmatics of language are prevalent in various clinical populations. They are a cause of social withdrawal and worse quality of life, both for patients directly affected and for their family members. Despite this, this type of disorder is rarely considered in neuropsychological assessment and rehabilitation. This study's objective is to characterize pragmatic deficits in various neurological populations, allowing for the most accurate diagnosis possible and leading to the planning of personalized and effective Rehabilitation Plans.
The goal of this clinical trial]is to evaluate if learning to play traditional board games could improve cognition in subjects with mild cognitive impairment and subjective cognitive decline. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do Go and Chess improve cognition? - Is a game better than the other? Is the effect of both games on cognition synergistic? - Do Go and Chess improve quality of life? - Do Go and Chess improve mood? - Do Go and Chess improve lifestyle? Participants will be randomized to one of four groups: - Group intervention with Go, once a week, for 12 weeks - Group intervention with Chess, once a week, for 12 weeks - Group intervention with Go and Chess, twice a week, for 12 weeks - Control group
