PET Brain Imaging in Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's Disease, and Other Neurological and Neuropsychiatric Diseases
The specific aims of the study are: Primary: To determine the presence and regional distribution of microglial activation, as assessed by Fluorine-18 (18F) labeled "Peripheral Benzodiazepine Receptor 06" (PBR06) -PET, in subjects with active Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS), Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (SPMS), and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) as compared …
LEvetiracetam to Prevent Seizures in Symptomatic Alzheimer's Disease in Adults With Down Syndrome
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether levetiracetam can prevent epileptic seizures in patients with Alzheimer's disease associated with Down syndrome. It will also analyze whether it can delay the neurodegeneration associated with this disease. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group will …
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.
Adapting RDAD for DS
The goal of this clinical trial is to observe feasibility and initial efficacy of a remotely delivered exercise and dementia caregiving intervention in older adults with Down syndrome and their caregivers.
Vestibular Therapy in Alzheimer's Disease
Nearly 2 out of 3 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) experience problems with balance and mobility, which places such patients at increased risk of falling. The vestibular (inner ear balance) system plays an important role in balance stability, and vestibular therapy (VT) is well-known to improve balance function in healthy …
Spatial Navigation for the Early Detection of Alzheimer's Disease.
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and may contribute to 60-70 % of all cases. An early, accurate diagnosis of AD will become increasingly important with disease-modifying therapies. Different types of fluid and neuroimaging biomarkers are available for the early detection of AD. However, implementation of …
Clinical Evaluation on the Therapeutic Effect of Acupuncture Treatment for Alzheimer's Disease
The objective of this proposed study is to evaluate the effect and safety of acupuncture combined therapy on cognitive function, daily living ability and quality of life of Alzheimer's disease by using the international dementia certification scale. In this 12-week, assessor-blind, a Multi-center randomized, controlled study of acupuncture as additional …
Diagnostic Evaluation of Dementia with Lewy Bodies Using a Multimodal Approach
Dementia with Lewy body disease (DLB) is the second leading cause of degenerative cognitive disorder after Alzheimer's disease (AD). Its variable clinical expression makes diagnosis difficult. To date, there is no validated DLB diagnostic biomarker, despite several biomarkers in development (EEG, MRI, biology). Studies have shown that an improvement in …
Clinical Evaluation of Acupuncture Treatment on Alzheimer's Disease in APOE e4 Carriers and Non-Carriers
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if acupuncture works to treat mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease, as well as the difference of its effect in APOE e4 carriers and non-carriers. It will also learn about the safety of acupuncture. Researchers will compare acupuncture to a placebo (sham acupuncture) to …
Longitudinal Study for the Characterization of the Phases of Subjective Perception of Cognitive Decline and Mild Cognitive Impairment of Alzheimer's Disease.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia and its prevalence is estimated to exceed 100 million affects by 2050, becoming the main public health problem worldwide. AD is considered a clinicopathological entity characterized by a progressive cognitive impairment with affectation of memory and other cognitive domains, which underlies …
