The (Cost)Effectiveness of a Social Robot for Persons with Problems in Daily Structure and Planning in Disability Care
The goal of this multiple baseline single case study is to study the (cost)effectiveness of a social robot in reducing professional caregiver support and promoting independence for individuals in long-term disability care experiencing problems with daily structure and planning. The main research questions it aims to answer are: What is …
Measuring Aided Language Development
The focus of the current study is to systematically investigate the psychometric properties of a range of aided language measures, which are based on the Graphic Symbol Utterance and Sentence Development Framework (Binger & Kent-Walsh).
Self-Supporting Nasopharyngeal Airway (ssNPA) Treating Upper Airway Obstruction in Hypotonia
The researchers are investigating if the Self-Supporting Nasopharyngeal Airway (ssNPA) device can be used in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea in children with Hypotonic Upper Airway Obstruction (HUAO).
Oromyofunctional Therapy: a Rehabilitation Program for OSA in Children With Down Syndrome and Prader-Willi Syndrome
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent medical condition with important implications for overall health and quality of life in both children. Therefore, it is important to treat OSA early and effectively. Children with Down syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome have many predisposing factors for OSA, including mouth breathing, narrow upper …
A Study to Assess the Effects of ACI-24.060 in Alzheimer's Disease and in Down Syndrome (ABATE Study)
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity and pharmacodynamic effects of ACI-24.060 in subjects with prodromal Alzheimer's disease and in non-demented adults with Down syndrome.
A VIRTUAL Three-month Intervention Study of the Effects of a Smartphone Application (HippoCamera) on Memory in Teens and Young Adults With Down Syndrome
Down syndrome is a chromosomal abnormality associated with significant deficits across multiple cognitive domains, including a disproportionate deficit in hippocampally-dependent memory. In other words, individuals with Down syndrome may have a particular difficulty remembering specific details from past events. One way this manifests itself is in overgeneral autobiographical memory, or …
Physical Activity and Community EmPOWERment Project
Purpose: Conduct a wait-list randomized controlled trial (RCT) of an inclusive physical activity program called PACE for adults with intellectual disability (ID) who are not yet showing signs of Alzheimer's Disease (AD)/age-related dementias (ARD). Participants: Participants include 120 adults with ID, their caregivers, and their coaches (up to 360 individual …
Brain Signal Training to Enhance Affect Down-regulation
Individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) experience intensive, instable negative emotions. Hyperactivity of the amygdala is assumed to drive exaggerated emotional responses in BPD. Neurofeedback is an endogenous neuromodulation method to address the imbalance of neural circuits. Downregulation of amygdala hyperactivation with neurofeedback may ameliorate dysregulated emotions in BPD. The …
Top Down Versus Step up in Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis
Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis (UC) patients with moderate to severe disease activity at high risk of colectomy. Early use of biologic agents will likely be more effective. But there were no studies identified that compared a strategy of upfront biologic-based therapy versus gradual step-up therapy. In our study, newly diagnosed moderate …
STep-up and Step-down Therapeutic Strategies in Childhood ARthritiS
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of a conventional therapeutic regimen, based on treatment escalation (step-up strategy) and driven by the treat-to-target approach, with that of an early aggressive intervention based on the initial start of a combination of conventional and biological DMARDs (step-down strategy).
