IMST for Dementia Risk Reduction
Using a 2-arm, RCT approach, the primary goal of the study is to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training (IMST) as a non-pharmacologic intervention to reduce cardiovascular and cognitive risks in older adults. Next, investigators will examine secondary effects of IMST on mood, sleep quality, …
Telehealth in Lewy Body Dementia
Lewy body dementia (LBD) is the 2nd most common neurodegenerative dementia in the US. Optimal care requires an interdisciplinary approach, however often faced barriers include rural residence, limited access to specialists, travel distance, limited awareness of resources, and physical, cognitive, and behavioral impairments making travel to appointments challenging. Delivering interdisciplinary …
Early Detection of Alzheimer's Disease and Affective Disorders by Automated Voice and Speech Analysis (PLATA)
PLATA aims to develop an algorithm to identify vocal biomarkers of Alzheimer's dementia. Using data collected as part of routine care, speech patterns will be compared to known biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease, such as amyloid 1-42 and p-Tau in CSF (cerebrospinal fluid). If biomarkers of speech can be identified in …
Smartphone-based Cognitive Emotion Regulation Training for Unpaid Primary Caregivers of Persons With Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Alzheimer's Disease-Related Dementias (ADRD) not only exact a heavy toll on patients, they also impose an enormous emotional, physical, and financial burden on unpaid, often family, caregivers. The strain of providing care for a loved one diagnosed with AD, often across several years, is associated with …
MECHANISMS OF NEURONAL RESILIENCE IN ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND ITS FOCAL VARIANTS: A PET/MR STUDY
Patients with Alzheimer's disease and with early onset of symptoms (\<65 years) (AD-Y) have a multi-domain cognitive deficit, whereas memory disorders (typical of the elderly patient's AD) are less often in the foreground. In addition, some MA-J have an atypical phenotype indicating focal brain damage, although they have the same …
The Clinical Study of Synaptic Plasticity-based Lencanumab for the Treatment of Early Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) manifests itself in cognitive decline, impaired ability to perform daily life, and a variety of behavioral and psychiatric symptoms, seriously endangering the health of the elderly. The prevalence and disability rates of AD in China remain high, and the lack of effective treatment options has brought a …
Cognitive Reserve and Response to Speech-Language Intervention in Bilingual Speakers With Primary Progressive Aphasia
Difficulties with speech and language are the first and most notable symptoms of primary progressive aphasia (PPA). While there is evidence that demonstrates positive effects of speech-language treatment for individuals with PPA who only speak one language (monolinguals), there is a significant need for investigating the effects of treatment that …
Determining Optimal Treatment Sequences in Anxious Depression (DOTS-AD)
Acute, double-blind, adaptively randomized treatment with duloxetine or escitalopram, followed by double-blind, randomized adjunctive treatment with clonazepam or pregabalin for persistent symptoms.
Repurposing Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors for Treatment of AD
This is a randomized, double-blind clinical trial of a daily oral dose of 200 mg emtricitabine vs. placebo in 35 participants with biomarker-confirmed MCI or mild to moderate dementia due to Alzheimer's disease. Study duration for each subject participating in the placebo-controlled research study will be approximately 12 months (up …
Speech Pattern Evaluation and Analysis for Knowledge of AD
The goal of this observational study is to validate changes in speech as a measure of cognition in individuals at increased risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). This study aims to clarify how speech may be affected by Alzheimer's disease. Participants will complete speech collection sessions and a …
