Enhancing Language Function in Primary Progressive Aphasia
This study's goal is to use non-invasive brain stimulation (NBS) techniques to treat language impairment associated with Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA). The purpose of this study is to combine behavioral language intervention with individualized noninvasive brain stimulation techniques, called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to help the brain reorganize around …
Semantic Rehabilitation for Patients With Primary Progressive Semantic Aphasia
This project aims to measure the effect of a semantic rehabilitation protocol for patients with primary progressive semantic aphasia and using the SCED methodology.
Communication Bridge 3 Study
This study will use a randomized controlled trial design to evaluate the effect of two evidence-based treatments for adults with mild-moderate Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA). The aim of the study is to help us better understand the effects of speech-language therapy on communication abilities in individuals with PPA.
Single-centre Descriptive Study of Taste in Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration Through the Analysis of Taste Evoked Potentials
The FRONTAL-PEG study focuses on taste perception in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). This neurodegenerative disease, characterised by progressive loss of nerve cells, is the second leading cause of dementia after Alzheimer's disease. Patients with FTLD often experience olfactory disorders (= sense of smell) and eating disorders: increased appetite, increased food …
The Skin as a Window to the Central Nervous System in Frontotempolar Lombar Degeneration
Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) is a clinically heterogeneous syndrome, characterized by progressive decline in behaviour and/or language. From a pathological standpoint, like the great majority of neurodegenerative disorders, FTLD are proteinopathies, which are characterized by the presence of specific protein deposits in the Central Nervous System (CNS). Accordingly, the two …
Long Term Effect of Brain Stimulation in PPA
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques in the progression of primary progressive aphasia for 6 months. We will compare three modalities of brain stimulation (TMS, tDCS, TMS+tDCS) against sham stimulation. All patients will receive also language therapy.
Veri-T: A Trial of Verdiperstat in Patients With svPPA Due to TDP-43 Pathology
The purpose of the study is to test the safety and tolerability of twice daily Verdiperstat in patients with semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA) due to frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43 pathology (FTLD-TDP). Three-fourths of the participants will receive Verdiperstat and one-fourth will receive Placebo during the 24-week treatment …
Trial of the Combined Use of Thiamine and Biotin in Patients With Huntington's Disease
Evaluate the safety and tolerability of combined oral thiamine with biotin therapy in patients with Huntington´s disease in mild to moderate stages and it is intended to evaluate the biological effect of the treatment in the central nervous system of these patients using as the main biomarker the increase in …
Study of BDNF Pathway Biomarkers in the Cerebrospinal Fluid in Patients With Huntington's Disease
Huntington disease (HD, 1.3/10 000) is an autosomal dominant disease due to an abnormal expansion of CAG triplets in HTT gene. Several pathophysiological mechanisms have been evoked, including an alteration of the signaling pathway of the Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a neurotrophic factor involved in the survival of neurons …
A Study to Evaluate ALN-HTT02 in Adult Patients With Huntington's Disease
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics (PD) and pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single dose of ALN-HTT02.
