Single-center Prospective Longitudinal Study of Taste in Patients With Cognitive Disorders at Different Stages of Severity (Isolated Cognitive Complaint, Minor or Major Neurocognitive Alzheimer-type Disorders) by Analysis of Gustatory Evoked Potentials
The aim of the MAPEG 2 study is to explore gustatory function and to follow its evolution in the 4 following groups of participants: Healthy subjects Participants with isolated cognitive complaint Participants with minor neurocognitive disorder Participants with mild and moderate Alzheimer-type major neurocognitive disorders For this purpose, we want …
Italian Adaptation and Validation of Functional and Behavioural Scales for Subjective Cognitive Decline, Mild Cognitive Impairment and Mild Dementia.
The first aim of the observational study is the translation, cross-cultural adaptation and validation of functional and behavioral scales used in the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases, for which a formal version in Italian is not available at present. In particular, the study includes the following functional and behavioral scales: the …
Investigating Dynamic Interactions in Distributed Cognitive Control Networks
The purpose of this study is to investigate the brain activity associated with cognitive tasks (thinking, reasoning, remembering) in order to understand how the brain works during certain tasks and to improve treatment for diseases like dementia and attention deficit disorders. Cognitive (thinking) impairment may include poor memory function, poor …
The Feasibility and the Efficacy of the Full-immersive Virtual Reality Cognitive Training in Patients With Mild or Moderate Dementia
This project will explore the feasibility and efficacy of the fully immersive virtual reality leisure cognitive training tool developed by Chang Gung University in patients with mild to moderate dementia. The feasibility study will assess the feasibility and emotion-related indicators of 10 patients before and after a single training session. …
SHARE Adaptation Intervention for African-American Families
This project aims to culturally adapt the SHARE program for African-Americans in early-moderate stage dementia and their care partner. Upon completion of the adaptation, a pilot randomized-control trial wil be confucted to compare the adaptaed SHARE program versus usual care.
Network-based biOmarker Discovery of Neurodegenerative Diseases Using Multimodal Connectivity
The aim of the NODAL clinical trial is to demonstrate the feasibility of new, low-cost, non-invasive biomarkers of neurodegenerative pathologies as early Alzheimer and Parkinson, based on the estimation of the multimodal connectome.
Predictors of Emergency Department Use in Frail Patients
When admitted to the emergency department (ED), elderly non-autonomous patients show high risk of adverse health outcomes. The prompt identification of ED use risk factors in such population is hence needed. While cognitive impairment is a known clinical risk factor, biomarkers of most prevalent dementias have been scarcely investigated as …
Transcranial Pulse Stimulation of the Brain
This study will investigate transcranial pulse stimulation (TPS) as a method of enhancing cognitive and neural function. The study team will apply this low intensity, magnetically pulse technology to key brain regions in a randomized, sham-controlled trial (RCT). The study will determine the magnitude of changes in cognitive function and …
Activity Tracking, Care Partner Co-participation, Text Reminders, Instructional Education, Video-Guided Physical Rehabilitation, and Exercise
This is a multi-methods two-arm, crossover, analyst-blinded randomized controlled trial with embedded qualitative interviews, enrolling 50 dyads (older adult-care partner). Participants will receive the ACTIVE intervention, which includes a Fitbit smartwatch, motivational text messages to engage in walking exercise, instructional educational videos, and virtual physical therapy sessions. Intervention components will …
Sleep Enhancement for Older Adults Living With Memory Loss And Their Care Partners
The purpose of this study is to determine if a 6-week videoconference intervention to teach skills to improve sleep is practical, acceptable, and helpful to persons living with memory loss, cognitive impairment, and/or dementia and care partners, individually or together.
