Comparing Structured Retrieval Practice and Reading-Based Education for Dementia Caregivers
Caring for a person living with dementia can be stressful, and many family caregivers report limited access to effective educational resources for managing dementia-related behaviors and caregiver stress. This study will evaluate a learning-based educational intervention called structured retrieval practice (SRP), which is designed to improve long-term learning by encouraging …
Tele-Savvy for Latino Caregivers
Latino caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias experience high levels of stress burden and depressive symptoms and are underrepresented in caregiver intervention research. Tele Savvy is an evidence based caregiver education program that focuses on developing caregiver mastery skills. This study aims to culturally adapt the Tele …
Evaluation of a Plasma Marker (p-Tau217) for the Biological Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease, and Comparison With CSF Markers
The biological diagnosis of AD is actually performed by analysing Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42 peptides, total tau and tau phosphorylated at Thr181 (p-Tau181) from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples obtained by lumbar puncture (LP). Phospho-Tau 217 (p-Tau217) is a new biomarker that could be measured in plasma. The aim of this study …
Fisetin in Mild Alzheimer's Disease
This pilot study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of the natural health product, fisetin, in older adults with mild cognitive impairment or mild Alzheimer's disease dementia.
The BRAIN App (Phase 2 SBIR)
There are currently 6.7 million Americans living with dementia and, without significant breakthroughs, this figure will double to 12.7 million by 2050. There are about 46,000 long-term care (LTC) facilities in the U.S. More than half of LTC residents have some form of dementia (Alzheimer's Association, 2018). Responsive behaviors and …
The Link Between Physical Activity and Brain Health in Healthy Adults
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the cross-sectional relationship between physical activity and brain health from a multiscale approach (neuropsychology, neuroimaging, peripheral biomarkers and genetics) in former athletes and sedentary individuals. The main question it aims to answer is: Do former athletes have better brain structure than …
dTMS for Subjective Cognitive Decline
Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) is a brain stimulation technique that involves generating a brief magnetic field in a coil that is placed on the scalp. The magnetic field passes through the skull and induces a weak electrical current in the brain that briefly activates neural circuits at the stimulation …
PET Imaging Tau Accumulation in FTLD and Atypical Alzheimer's Using [18F]-PI-2620
The investigators will compare \[18F\]-PI-2620 tau PET scans from patients with frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), patients with non-amnestic presentations of Alzheimer's disease (naAD), and demographically matched cognitively normal subjects.
Silkworm Pupa Powder Improves Dementia.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine whether silkworm pupa powder is effective in treating Alzheimer's disease. It will also investigate whether silkworm pupa powder can improve the nutritional and frailty status of patients with Dementia. The main questions it aims to answer are: Will silkworm pupa powder …
German Validation Study of the Subjective Cognitive Decline Questionnaire (SCD-Q)
The SCD-Q (Subjective Cognitive Decline-Questionnaire) is an established instrument to quantify self-perceived cognitive decline. Both self- and informant-rated versions of the SCD-Q are available. However, the SCD-Q has not been validated in the German language yet. Hence, the investigators aim to validate the self-reported SCD-Q in a clinical sample in …
