Study on the Relationship Between Peripheral Blood miRNA and Risk and Severity of Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease, AD is a type of neurofibrillary tangles formed by the deposition of beta amyloid proteins within the nervous system cells and excessive phosphorylation of extracellular Tau proteins, NFTs are the main pathological features of central nervous system degeneration, also known as senile dementia. In addition, synaptic plasticity damage …
Cognitive Vulnerability to Stress in Individuals at Risk for Alzheimer's Disease
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about how genetics and the response to stress predicts cognitive decline in individuals with mild cognitive impairment. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: Does the hormone response to acute stress predict the degree of cognitive impairment following acute stress? …
Neuclare Device for Temporary Improvement of Executive Function in Patients With Mild Cognitive Impairment and Prodromal Alzheimer's Disease
This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, prospective confirmatory clinical trial designed to evaluate whether the Neuclare medical device can temporarily improve executive function (planning and problem-solving abilities) in adults with mild cognitive impairment or very early Alzheimer's disease. Participants will continue their current medication and be randomly assigned …
A Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of KarXT + KarX-EC as a Treatment for Psychosis Associated With Alzheimer's Disease (ADEPT-5)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate KarXT + KarX-EC as a treatment for psychosis associated with Alzheimer's disease.
Study of Repetitive Behaviors in Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by anterograde amnesia, the inability to memorize and remember events occurring after the cerebral lesion. Among the most frequently reported psycho-behavioural symptoms are repetitive behaviours (RB), defined as actions or statements repeated in an inappropriate and non-functional way. The most commonly used tool to assess …
Use of a Mobile Brain-Body Imaging Approach to Evaluate the Effects of Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation on Gait and Brain Function in Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is associated with impairments in both gait and cognition, significantly increasing fall risk. Falls are a leading cause of injury-related disability in older adults, and individuals with AD experience a nearly threefold higher rate of falls compared to neurotypical older adults. There is an urgent need for …
Locomotion Adaptation Deficits in Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimers Disease
In people with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD), reduced capacity for locomotor adaptation is a fundamental but poorly understood mechanism that can be a sensitive biomarker of cognitive-motor impairments. It is also an important therapeutic target for exercise-based interventions to improve walking function. The overall goal of …
Characterizing Variability in Hearing Aid Outcomes in Among Older Adults With Alzheimer's Dementia
This current translational project, funded by NIH, aims to better understand the impact of various signal modification strategies for older adults with Alzheimer's dementia and its potential precursor, known as amnestic mild cognitive impairment. The investigators hypothesize that adults with Alzheimer's dementia represent an extreme case of restricted cognitive ability, …
Paper-Based and Smartphone-Based Memory Supports
Alzheimer's disease and related dementias lead to marked declines in daily functioning, independence, and quality of life. One of the earliest cognitive changes in these conditions is impairment in prospective memory, or the ability to remember future intentions such as taking medications at a given time. Prior intervention studies that …
Longitudinal Profiling of Plasma-Derived Glial Extracellular Vesicles in Alzheimer's Disease
This project aims to longitudinally profile plasma-derived GDEVs and plasma biomarkers of neuroinflammation across three stages of the AD continuum (Subjective Cognitive Decline, Mild Cognitive Impairment, and Alzheimer's Dementia), exploring their association with biomarkers of amyloidopathy, tauopathy and neurodegeneration, cognitive status and clinical outcome over time. Moreover, GDEVs - collected …
