Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in the Treatment of Primary Progressive Aphasia
While many have strongly suggested that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may represent a beneficial intervention for patients with primary progressive aphasia (PPA), this promising technology has not yet been applied widely in clinical settings. This treatment gap is underscored by the absence of any neurally-focused standard-of-care treatments to mitigate …
The Neurobiology of Two Distinct Types of Progressive Apraxia of Speech
The purpose of this study is to identify and distinguish two different types of Progressive Apraxia of Speech through clinical imaging and testing.
Comparing Antipsychotic Medications in LBD Over Time
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether treatment with pimavanserin or quetiapine is associated with a greater improvement in psychosis when used in a routine clinical setting to treat hallucinations and/or delusions due to Parkinson's disease (PD) or dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) - collectively referred to …
Ambroxol in New and Early DLB, A Phase IIa Multicentre Randomized Controlled Double Blind Clinical Trial
This is a confirmatory investigational medicinal product (IMP) study to investigate the effects on cognition, functional decline and on neuropsychiatric symptoms of the Glucocerebrosidase (GCase) enhancing chaperone ambroxol in participants diagnosed with prodromal and early dementia with Lewybodies (DLB).
A Study of Donanemab (LY3002813) in Participants With Early Cognitive Decline (TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 7)
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate whether treatment with donanemab slows the progression of cognitive (how we think, learn, remember, pay attention, and make decisions) and functional (how we are able to perform daily activities) decline. For each participant, the study will last one and a half …
Enhancing Language Function in Aphasia
Aphasia is an acquired impairment of language, that commonly results from damage to language areas in the brain (typically the left side of the brain). This impairment is seen in many aspects of language, including understanding, speaking, reading and writing. It is estimated that about 2 million individuals are currently …
The Pain Reduction Using Immersive Virtual Reality During Wound Care Evaluation Study at Maimonides (PRISM) - Pilot Study
This study will test whether immersive virtual reality (iVR) can reduce pain and discomfort during wound care for residents living in long-term care (LTC). Pressure ulcers are common and painful among older adults, and dressing changes often cause additional distress. Up to 20 residents at the Donald Berman Maimonides Geriatric …
[18F]ACI-15916 PET in α-synucleinopathies
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether we can reliably and safely measure the accumulation of pathological protein α-synuclein \[involved in some diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Lewy body dementia and Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), collectively named α-synucleinopathies\] using a new positron emission tomography (PET) tracer called …
iMagemHTT-009- FIH Evaluation of Novel Mutant Huntingtin PET Radioligand [11C]CHDI-00491009
This is a FIH (first-in-human) study to evaluate the clinical utility of the radioligand \[11C\]CHDI-00491009 as a PET tracer that binds specifically to mutant huntingtin (mHTT) aggregates in Huntington's disease (HD). The study is divided into three cohorts defined by the Huntington's Disease Integrated Staging System (HD-ISS): Cohort 1 - …
PET Imaging Evaluation of [11C]SY08
The overall goal of the proposed research is to evaluate the use of \[11C\]SY08 as a PET radiotracer for aggregated alpha synuclein (αS) in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD), Multiple system atrophy (MSA), Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) and healthy controls. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the …
