Filter by:This is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the effectiveness of cognitive and exercise training versus control condition on cognitive function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
15 subjects conforming to inclusion and exclusion criteria with a known clinical diagnosis of MCI and who provide informed consent will undergo cognitive and functional assessment to confirm the diagnosis of MCI. Baseline assessment using the Mindstreams Mild Cognitive Impairment Computerized Assessment Battery will be performed. Subjects will then participate 30 twice weekly meetings of 90 minutes duration each (for a total of 15 weeks). Mindstreams testing will be repeated after 15 sessions and at completion of the study.
This 7-year randomized controlled trial will compare the efficacy of non-invasive brain stimulation (trans-cranial Direct Current Stimulation - tDCS) combined with cognitive remediation (CR) versus sham ("placebo") tDCS combined with sham ("placebo") CR in slowing down cognitive decline and preventing Alzheimer's Dementia in older persons with mild cognitive impairment or major depressive disorder with or without mild cognitive impairment.
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study that aims to investigate the effect of 2-week and 12-week administration of USP methylene blue (MB) on cerebral blood flow, functional connectivity, memory and attention cognitive abilities using fMRI and behavioral measures in healthy aging, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) subjects.
The ability to maintain normal core body temperature (Tcore = 98.6°F) is impaired in persons with a cervical spinal cord injury (tetraplegia). Despite the known deficits in the ability of persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) to maintain Tcore, and the effects of hypothermia to impair mental function in able-bodied (AB) persons, there has been no work to date addressing these issues in persons with tetraplegia. Primary Aim: To determine if exposure of up to 2 hours to cool temperatures (64°F) causes Tcore to decrease in persons with tetraplegia, and if that decrease is associated with a decrease in cognitive function. Primary Hypotheses: Based on our pilot data: (1) 66% of persons with tetraplegia and none of the matched controls will demonstrate a decline of 1.8°F in Tcore; (2) 80% of persons with tetraplegia and 30% of controls will have a decline of at least one T-score in Stroop Interference scores (a measure of executive function). Secondary Aim: To determine the change in: (1) distal skin temperature, (2) metabolic rate, and (3) thermal sensitivity. Secondary Hypothesis: Persons with tetraplegia will have less of a percent change in average distal skin temperatures and metabolic rate, and report lower thermal sensitivity ratings compared with AB controls. Tertiary Aim: To determine if a 10 mg dose of an approved blood pressure-raising medicine (midodrine hydrochloride) will (1) reduce the decrease in Tcore and (2) prevent or delay the decline in cognitive performance in the group with tetraplegia compared to the exact same procedures performed on the day with no medicine (Visit 1) in that same group. Tertiary Hypothesis: Through administering a one-time dose of midodrine, the medicine-induced decreased blood flow to the skin will lessen the decline in Tcore and prevent or delay the associated decline in cognitive performance compared to the changes in Tcore and cognitive performance during cool temperature exposure without midodrine in the same group with tetraplegia.
The study examines subjects where there might be an indication for Amyloid-PET according to the Criteria defined by the Amyloid Imaging Task Force. In these subjects the impact of a Flutemetamol (Vizamyl)-Positron-Emission-Tomography -Scan (PET) on clinical management and disease course will be studied over 6 months.
The purpose of this study is to find the characteristics of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) using technology of Multi-Modality MRI , including structural MRI, functional MRI and diffusion tensor imaging(DTI). Then analyze the difference between progressive MCI (MCIp) and stable MCI (MCIs) and further construct the predictable classifier from MCI to Alzheimer's disease (AD) based on Multi-Modality MRI characteristics of MCI patients.
One purpose of this study is to construct the diagnosis system for early Alzheimer's disease(AD), which is also called amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), and then further construct the predictable classifier from aMCI to AD based on Multi-Modality MRI characteristics of aMCI patients.
This study evaluates the effects of Multimodal Cognitive Enhancement Therapy (MCET) for people with mild cognitive impairment and early stage dementia by a randomized, controlled (mock-therapy), double-blind, cross-over trial
The main objective of the GOOD initiative was to determine which spatio-temporal gait parameters and/or combination(s) of spatio-temporal gait parameters best differentiate between cognitively healthy individuals (CHI), patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and those with mild and moderate dementia.
