SV2A & TSPO PET Imaging Measures to Reveal Mechanisms of HIV Neuropathogenesis During Antiretroviral Therapy
The purpose of this study is to longitudinally characterize and evaluate changes in synaptic density in the brain using novel positron-emission tomography (PET) scans; magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and clinical laboratory markers associated with HIV-related injury in the central nervous system. This study will test hypotheses relating to the presence …
Identification of Neuroinflammation and Neuroimaging Biomarkers Through Data Driven Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Unraveling the Heterogeneity of Aged Subjects at Risk of Dementia and to Better Inform Prevention Strategies
SCD and MCI are very heterogeneous conditions, which can be prodromal to different types of dementia. The application of data driven clustering methods on neuroimaging and inflammatory data aims at identifying the features characterizing subgroups of subjects at high risk of developing overt dementia. This approach promises to develop tailored …
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.
A Multimodal Approach for Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment of Primary Progressive Aphasia, MAINSTREAM ID:3430931
Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) is a syndrome due to different neurodegenerative disorders selectively disrupting language functions. PPA specialist care is underdeveloped. There are very few specialists (neurologists, psychiatrists, neuropsychologists and speech therapists) and few hospitals- or community-based services dedicated to diagnosis and continuing care. Currently, healthcare systems struggle to provide …
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.
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 …
Safety and Proof-of-Concept (POC) Study With AMT-130 in Adults With Early Manifest Huntington's Disease
This is the first study of AMT-130 in patients with early manifest HD and is designed to establish safety and proof-of-concept (PoC). CT-AMT-130-01 is a Phase 1/2, multicenter, first-in-human (FIH) study. The first three cohorts of the study have completed enrollment, including the randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled cohorts. Cohort 4 is …
