Lifestyle for the BRAin Health - Time Restricted Eating and Mindfulness
The study aims to evaluate the effects of a 9-month intervention combining yoga-based mindfulness techniques, cognitive training, and nutritional counseling on cognitive function, plasma markers of neurodegeneration (tau protein), physical fitness, and metabolism in older adults at increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
Stem Cell Therapy for Early Alzheimer's Disease
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if stem cell therapy works to treat brain inflammation in adults. Inflammation in the brain may be involved in adults who have memory or thinking problems. The stem cells will be taken from participant's fat samples, processed and given back to …
ENhancing Outcomes in Cognitive Impairment Through Use of Home Sleep ApNea Testing
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which causes abnormal pauses in breathing during sleep, is common in patients with vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), and exacerbates the cognitive deficits seen in these conditions. OSA is typically treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), which has been shown to improve …
CBD for Individuals at Risk for Alzheimer's Disease
This is a double-blind, randomized controlled trial designed to test the effects of cannabidiol (CBD) on validated biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression, and behavioral, neurocognitive, and clinical measures, with putative mechanisms of action.
Mindfulness for Cognition in Early-stage Alzheimer's Disease
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if mindfulness meditation can improve outcomes in older adults with and without cognitive impairment. The main questions it aims to answer are: How does mindfulness impact thinking and memory? How does mindfulness influence brain function and structure? How does mindfulness affect …
Phase 2 - Rhythmic Light Therapy for Alzheimer's Disease Patients
Participants will randomly be placed into one of four groups and experience one of the four following conditions: (1) a placebo light that provides a 40 hertz (Hz) flicker (rhythmic light [RL]); (2) a placebo light with a random flicker (placebo condition for rhythmic light); (3) a light source that …
Coaching Dementia Caregivers to Master Care-Resistant Behavior
266 family caregivers will be randomly assigned to either immediate intervention or delayed intervention groups. All caregivers will complete baseline surveys and 3 weeks of daily diaries. The immediate intervention group will receive 12 weeks of CuRB-IT. They will complete 3 rounds of 3-week daily diaries followed by an intermittent …
Viamigo for People With Dementia and Their Informal Caregivers
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of the Geographic Information System (GIS)-based mobile application 'Viamigo' among people with dementia living in the community and their informal caregivers. Viamigo aims to support the independent out-of-home mobility of the user and to reduce informal caregiver's burden by …
Efficacy Biomarkers of DAOIB for Dementia
This open-label clinical trial will enroll patients with aMCI or mild AD, and they will be treated with DAOIB for 24 weeks. We will assess the patients before entering the study, 8 weeks, 16 weeks, and end point (24 weeks) of the study, and measure blood NMDA and oxidative stress …
Circulating Ghrelin as a Biomarker for Dementia
The primary objective of this study will explore whether circulating acyl-ghrelin (AG) and unacylated-ghrelin (UAG) are reduced in neurodegenerative disease associated with cognitive impairment. It will focus on validating pilot data generated following the analysis of Parkinson's disease (PD), Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD) and healthy cohorts (IRAS project ID: 250933). …
