Emergency Preparedness for Caregivers of Persons With Dementia: Disaster PrepWise
Individuals with dementia and their families are especially vulnerable during a disaster as it limits caregivers' ability to continue with care due to disaster related stress and reduced access to resources and support. The COVID-19 pandemic showed the extreme vulnerability of persons with dementia (PWD) and their caregivers as they …
Beyond Observation: Validating the Ecological Relevance of the Ad-AHA Stroke Using Sensor-Based Measures
After a stroke, many people experience difficulty using both hands together in daily life. Most rehabilitation assessments, however, only measure how the affected arm performs in one-handed tasks. This makes it difficult to understand how well people actually use their hands in real-world activities, which are usually bimanual. The Adult …
The Effects of Successful OSA Treatment on Memory and AD Biomarkers in Older Adults Study
The Effects of Successful OSA TreatmENT on Memory and AD BIomarkers in Older AduLts (ESSENTIAL) study is a 5-year, multicenter randomized open-label trial that will screen 400 cognitively normal older adults recruited from well-established sleep clinics at 4 academic medical centers, with newly diagnosed moderate-severe OSA. An expected 200 OSA …
A Phase 2 Study to Assess the Safety of EI-1071 and the Effects of EI-1071 on Neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's Disease Patients
An open-label, exploratory, phase II, proof-of concept, clinical study to assess the safety and tolerability of EI-1071 and the effects of EI-1071 on neuroinflammation in patients with mild, moderate, or severe Alzheimer's disease
Passive Sensor Identification of Digital Biomarkers to Assess Effects of Orally Administered Nicotinamide Riboside
This project's main goal is to use state-of-the-art passive sensing techniques to identify digital biomarkers that relate to bioenergetic changes in the brain due to nicotinamide riboside supplementation in those with mild cognitive impairment and mild Alzheimer's dementia.
Vascular mEchanisms in, Stroke, dePression, dementiA, and deliRum: The VESPAR Project
The goal of this observational study is to determine the feasibility of using integrated Transcranial Doppler Ultrasonography or Near Infrared Spectroscopy to detect changes in cerebral autoregulation and neurovascular coupling in healthy, stroke, dementia, depression and delirium populations. We also aim to: Determine the optimal stimulus for neurovascular coupling To …
Optimizing CNS DHA Delivery in Elderly Adults at Risk for Dementia
The purpose of this placebo-controlled trial is to compare the effects of 24-weeks supplementation with LPC-DHA and TAG-DHA on cerebrospinal fluid and blood DHA levels, as well as biomarkers of central neurodegenerative and neurotrophic activity, in elderly adults experiencing early signs of cognitive/memory decline including those with mild cognitive impairment …
Daphnetin Capsule In the Treatment of VaScular COgnitive Impairment Without Dementia
The purpose of this clinical trial is to understand and evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Daphnetin Capsule in patients with vascular cognitive impairment. Changes in the Vascular Dementia Assessment Scale-cog(VADAS-cog) at 6 months were evaluated. Although Daphnetin has a dual neurovascular protective effect, however, there is still a …
Using a Speech-Generating Device to Support Communication in Childhood Dementia
Individuals with childhood dementia experience loss of developmental skills and many have limited verbal speech. The aim of this clinical trial is to examine how well a speech-generating device supports the communication skills of participants with childhood dementia. The speech-generating device is a communication program loaded onto an iPad. This …
White Matter Distortion and Dementia Biomarkers in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH)
Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a progressive condition of the elderly that results in severe disability. iNPH can dramatically respond to Cerebral spinal fluid(CSF)-shunting where excess ventricular fluid is diverted from the brain. Not all patients with iNPH respond to CSF-shunting however. The reasons for this are uncertain. Aim …
