Brain Health on College Campuses
Center for BrainHealth is beginning a one-year pilot with local college campuses investigating the impact of (i) brain health assessment and training tools delivered through the online BrainHealth Platform and (ii) in-person educational brain health workshops delivered to college students and faculty/staff, with the overarching goal to better understand how …
Exploring Neurophysiological Markers of Brain Health
The combination of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and electroencephalography (EEG) has been suggested as a promising brain imaging tool for identifying biomarkers of brain health. In this pilot study, study investigators will explore the neurophysiological metrics of brain health with a non-invasive brain imaging technique, alongside behavioral and fMRI metrics …
Internet-based Mind-Body Training for Brain Health
The goal of this study is to conduct a Stage I pilot study examining the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of an internet-based, asynchronous mindfulness-based stress reduction program (iMBSR) compared to an internet-based, asynchronous lifestyle education program (iLifeEd), for adults at-risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Sixty middle-aged and older adults …
Breaking Sitting with High-intensity Interval Training for Brain Health
This trial will examine whether interrupting 3.5 hours of sitting every 30 min with 6 min high intensity interval training (HIIT) breaks compared to light intensity interval training (LIIT) will improve brain health in cognitively normal older adults. This trial will test the feasibility of HIIT breaks to sitting. It …
TabCAT Brain Health Assessment in Primary Care
Efficient and user-friendly paradigms to detect cognitive impairment, including dementia are needed in primary care. The TabCAT Brain Health Assessment accurately detects cognitive impairment via an appealing tablet interface with automated scoring and EMR integration. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of the paradigm on detection rates and other brain …
Brain Health Virtual Reality Study
The Interventions for Brain Health Virtual Reality Study is a NIH-funded clinical research trial at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Health under the supervision of the study principal investigator Dr. Judy Pa. The overarching goal of this trial is to use a novel virtual reality (VR) based intervention …
IH, Brain Health, and T2D
The purpose of this study is to use a randomized, placebo-controlled study design to rigorously examine the therapeutic potential of intermittent hypoxia (IH) for improving cerebrovascular health in older adults with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Brain Health with Inner Engineering Meditation
This study will explore whether a 21-minute meditation practice called Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya leads to changes in brain health and explore how it affects cognitive and physiological function.
RHI Interval Effects on Brain Health
Military service members frequently experience repetitive insults or impacts to the head (RHIs). The purpose of the proposed randomized controlled trial is to understand how time intervals affect neurological responses to repetitive subconcussive head impacts.
An Exercise Intervention to Improve Overall Brain Health
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of 10 weeks of exercise on overall brain health, reduction in blood pressure, and the number of blood vessels in the back of the eyes in patients with hypertension and have a body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m2. The …
