Long Term Effect of Brain Stimulation in PPA
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques in the progression of primary progressive aphasia for 6 months. We will compare three modalities of brain stimulation (TMS, tDCS, TMS+tDCS) against sham stimulation. All patients will receive also language therapy.
Speech and Language Interventions for Italian People With PPA
Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is an umbrella term used to refer to several clinical variants that manifest as an insidious deterioration of speech/language skills, usually due to frontotemporal lobar degeneration and/or Alzheimer's disease. Consensus criteria have been proposed by an international community regarding the sub-classification of PPA into three variants: …
Single-centre Descriptive Study of Taste in Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration Through the Analysis of Taste Evoked Potentials
The FRONTAL-PEG study focuses on taste perception in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). This neurodegenerative disease, characterised by progressive loss of nerve cells, is the second leading cause of dementia after Alzheimer's disease. Patients with FTLD often experience olfactory disorders (= sense of smell) and eating disorders: increased appetite, increased food …
Stimulating the Aging Brain Using Brain and Sensory Stimulation
The goal of this project is to investigate whether transcranial electrical stimulation and sensory stimulation affect language outcomes in individuals with primary progressive aphasia (PPA). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) affect verbal short-term memory (STM) in individuals with PPA? Does a …
Efavirenz for the Treatment of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of efavirenz in patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). A total of 246 eligible participants will be enrolled across 21 study centers nationwide. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive …
Advances in Neuropsychological Diagnostics
This project is aimed at advancing neuropsychological diagnostics, enriching and modernizing the panorama of both clinical and forensic psychometric testing. The rapid socio-demographic changes, the developments of neuropsychological semiotics and nosography, as well as the growing applicative specialization of neuropsychological assessment make it necessary to introduce further tools to satisfy …
Safety and Tolerability Study of Human Neural Stem Cells for Huntington's Disease
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether an implantation of hNSC-01 is a safe and tolerable study intervention for Huntington's disease. This study is the first time that hNSC-01 is being tested in people.
Optimizing Parameters of Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound for Pallidal Modulation in Huntington's Disease
The purpose of this research study is to determine the optimal pulse repetition frequency of low-intensity focused ultrasound that is safe and effective in improving motor symptoms in patients with Huntington's disease.
Study of BDNF Pathway Biomarkers in the Cerebrospinal Fluid in Patients With Huntington's Disease
Huntington disease (HD, 1.3/10 000) is an autosomal dominant disease due to an abnormal expansion of CAG triplets in HTT gene. Several pathophysiological mechanisms have been evoked, including an alteration of the signaling pathway of the Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a neurotrophic factor involved in the survival of neurons …
Home-based Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Open Trial for Behavioral and Cognitive Symptoms in Huntington's Disease
The purpose of this study is to assess feasibility, acceptability, and safety of providing transcranial direct current stimulation( tDCS) to Huntingtons Disease (HD) patients in the early to middle stages and to assess the efficacy of tDCS for HD-related behavioral, cognitive and other symptoms
