Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate Kinto's Care Coaching intervention for dementia caregivers. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the intervention help caregivers to address their general caregiving goals Does the intervention help caregivers to address their financial caregiving goals Participants will have access to: One-on-one care coaching sessions (via zoom) Up to 6 weekly support groups with other caregivers A variety of digital resources through Kinto's mobile app Researchers will compare intervention and control groups to see if the program supports caregivers' general and financial caregiving needs. The efficacy of the intervention also will be examined on key outcomes.
This study aims to provide clinical validation of EyeQuant, a fully automated retinal image analysis system for computation of vascular biomarkers indicative of cognitive disorders, using retinal fundus photographs collected from patients with mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease, and vascular dementia.
Study purpose: - evaluate safety and clinical efficacy of Prospecta in the treatment of cognitive, behavioural and psychiatric disorders in patients with vascular dementia. Study objectives: - evaluate and compare changes in cognitive functions and in behavioural and psychiatric dementia symptoms in Prospecta and Placebo groups after 24-week therapy: - evaluate and compare the frequency, severity and causal relationship of adverse events (AEs) with the type of therapy in Prospecta and Placebo groups (including central nervous system AEs during therapy, their relationship with the product and other characteristics).
This is a multi-center, observational, feasibility study, to evaluate long term passive data collection, data quality, and user experience of HealthMode Agitation (Apps) to collect motion, location, physiological, and audio data; and eCOA and EMA responses with mobile devices (iPhone, Apple Watch). The purpose of this study is to evaluate and improve HealthMode Apps data collection and usability in subjects experiencing agitation in the context of dementia.
The protocol is organized into three Phases - In Phase I an online training program will be developed in "Care of Persons with Dementia in their Environments" (COPE) -an evidence-based bio-behavioral dementia program -using state-of-the science simulation and best online learning practices. In addition an automated approach to fidelity monitoring using computational linguistics (automatic classification programs) will be developed. In Phase II, ten long term care community-based (PACE) organizations will be randomized into two groups; 5 PACE organizations will serve as the "control" site in which staff training will be provided via the traditional high intensity face-to-face training in the COPE program. 5 PACE organizations will serve as the comparison and staff will be trained using the online COPE training program. Phase II will evaluate the whether an online training program is the same or better in improving PACE staff competency and fidelity to COPE principles and protocols compared to a high intensity face-to-face traditional form of training. In Phase III the efficacy of the COPE program on PACE participant outcomes by type of COPE training will be evaluated. Each of the PACE organizations will enroll 5 persons with dementia and their caregivers in the study. This will yield 50 family dyads (25 dyads in traditional training sites and 25 dyads in online training sites). Dyads will be followed for 4 months. Non-inferiority analysis will be used to assess whether dyads will yield the same or better outcomes regardless of how PACE staff were trained.
The specific aims of this studyare to examine the 1) feasibility; 2) acceptability; and 3) preliminary efficacy of a tailored music intervention in home-dwelling older adults with dementia suffering from sleep disruption. Sixty dyads (older adults with dementia and their caregivers) will be randomized to receive the tailored music intervention immediately or following a four week delay.
The study evaluates the clinical efficacy and safety of Akatinol Memantine 20 mg (single-doses) vs. Akatinol Memantine 10 mg (double-doses) in patients suffering from moderate and moderately severe vascular dementia.
As a traditional Chinese medicine compound, SaiLuoTong capsule is proven to have beneficial effects on learning and memory ability in animal models of vascular dementia (VaD). According to the result of the phase II study, the efficacy of SaiLuoTong capsule in the treatment of patients with VaD was better than that of placebo group and no difference in safety. So the study hypothesis is also that SaiLuoTong capsule will be effective in the treatment of patients with VaD and will be well tolerated. The purpose of the study is to confirm the efficacy and safety of SaiLuoTong capsule on patients with mild to moderate VaD. The outcome measures include general cognitive function, executive function, daily living skills, and mental behavior changes of symptoms in VaD patients.
The Healthy Patterns Study intervention is a home-based activity intervention designed to improve symptoms of circadian rhythm disorders (CRD) and quality of life (QOL) in home-dwelling persons with dementia. We will use a randomized two-group parallel design of 200 people with dementia and their caregivers assigned to intervention or attention control groups.
The lack of efficacious research-based interventions for such vulnerable older adults with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/RD) and their caregivers (CGs) is a significant public health problem. Caregiving of sexual/gender minority older adults with AD/RD is of concern due to social stigma, marginalization, and isolation, which may be barriers to sustaining caregiving. It is necessary and timely to translate evidence-based culturally adaptable interventions for this underserved and stigmatized population. Reducing Disability in Alzheimer's Disease (RDAD) has been evaluated in a randomized controlled trial and has shown to successfully train community-dwelling CR (care receiver)-CG dyads to increase the physical activity and functioning of individuals with AD/RD and their CGs and to teach CGs techniques for managing behavioral symptoms of CRs. RDAD consequently decreases stress of CGs, delays institutionalization of CRs, and increases health related quality of life (HRQOL) of CRs and CGs. Thus, this study will evaluate the effect of the standard RDAD among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) CRs with AD/RD and their CGs, and this study will test a personalized intervention tailored to better respond to distinct risks experienced by CGs and LGBT CRs with AD/RD, addressing unique sexual/gender minority CG risk factors (e.g., identity management, stigma-related adverse or traumatic life events, and lack of social support).
