White Matter Distortion and Dementia Biomarkers in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH)
Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a progressive condition of the elderly that results in severe disability. iNPH can dramatically respond to Cerebral spinal fluid(CSF)-shunting where excess ventricular fluid is diverted from the brain. Not all patients with iNPH respond to CSF-shunting however. The reasons for this are uncertain. Aim …
Robotic Technologies for APATHy in Dementia: a Randomised Controlled Trial (RAPHAel)
The goal of this trial is to learn whether home-based robotic interventions can reduce apathy in people with cognitive decline. Apathy means reduced motivation, interest, or initiative in daily life. It is a common and distressing symptom in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia and can strongly affect …
A Study of BBT001 in Healthy Volunteers (HVs) and in Adult Patients With Atopic Dermatitis (AD)
This is a Phase 1, randomized, blinded, placebo controlled, single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD) study of BBT001 in healthy volunteers (HVs) and adult patients with moderate to severe Atopic Dermatitis (AD).
Passive Sensor Identification of Digital Biomarkers to Assess Effects of Orally Administered Nicotinamide Riboside
This project's main goal is to use state-of-the-art passive sensing techniques to identify digital biomarkers that relate to bioenergetic changes in the brain due to nicotinamide riboside supplementation in those with mild cognitive impairment and mild Alzheimer's dementia.
Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Virtual Reality Headsets With Hypnotic Scenarios for Hygiene Care in Patients With Alzheimer's Disease or Related Disorders With Behavioral Disturbances
A device combining a virtual reality (VR) headset with hypnotic scenarios may represent an effective tool to reduce anxiety and opposition during hygiene care in patients with neurocognitive disorders presenting with behavioral and psychological symptoms. The primary objective of this project is to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of VR …
Stopping Cognitive Decline and Dementia by Fighting Covert Cerebral Small Vessel Disease
Cerebral small Vessel Disease (cSVD), characterized by an alteration of the structure and function of small penetrating brain arteries, is highly prevalent in older persons from the general population and represents a leading cause of stroke and a major contributor to cognitive decline and dementia risk. In France \>4 million …
Uncovering a Novel Therapeutic Target to Reduce Dementia Risk in Parkinson's Disease
The present study is a proof-of-concept clinical trial to test the efficacy of low doses of a repurposed anti-epileptic drug (levetiracetam) in treating memory problems in Parkinson's disease (PD). Neuroimaging techniques will be used to determine the effect of the drug on specific brain regions (hippocampal subfields). Finally, baseline brain …
Investigating Complex Neurodegenerative Disorders Related to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia
Background Neurodegenerative disorders can lead to problems in movement or memory. Some can cause abnormal proteins to build up in brain cells. Researchers want to understand whether these diseases have related causes or risk factors. Objective To test people with movement or thinking and memory problems to see if they …
Vortioxetine for the Treatment of Mood and Cognitive Symptoms in Frontotemporal Dementia
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if vortioxetine improves mood symptoms and cognition in patients with early-stage behavioral variant Frontotemporal Dementia (bvFTD). The main questions this study aims to answer are: Do individuals with mood symptoms and bvFTD have brain changes and cognitive profiles that differ compared …
Demonstrating the Efficacy of a Spanish-Language Program for Latino Dementia Caregivers
The investigators will test the efficacy of Unidos en el Cuidado® (United in Caring, herein Unidos), a 3-session, culturally-adapted, group psychoeducational and skill-building intervention for 226 Spanish-speaking family caregivers in California.
