Early Biomarkers in Premanifest Huntington's Disease Gene Carriers: a Pilot Study
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate if new, early biomarkers of the disease are available in presymptomatic genetic carriers of Huntington\'s diesase compared to healthy subjects. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does functional brain MRI is able to detect early biomarkers of the disease …
Gut Microbiomes in HD
The purpose of this study is to find out if there is a connection between the naturally occurring bacteria in our bodies and the progression of Huntington disease. The investigators are trying to determine if patients who are diagnosed with adult-onset HD and who exhibit a rapid rate of disease …
Reducing Cognitive Impairment by Management of Heart Failure as a Modifiable Risk Factor
This study will test the feasibility and effectiveness of an innovative model of care for cognitively impaired patients with heart failure. This program aims to improve cognition, reduce dementia risk and cardiovascular events, and will be supported by innovative digital technology for wide scale rollout and implementation. Findings from this …
Huntington's Disease Biobank: Advancing Remote Monitoring and Deep Phenotyping
This observational study aims to identify novel biomarkers of disease onset and progression in Huntington's disease by integrating remote monitoring with fluid biomarkers. Using video-based computer vision and mobile app-based cognitive assessments combined with machine learning algorithms, we aim to develop markers that can be used by Huntington's disease patients …
Innovative Imaging and Cognitive BIOmarkers to Predict Huntington's Disease Progression
Intro Huntington's disease (HD) patients suffer from motor, cognitive and behavioral impairments, with heterogeneous phenotypes and variable time course. This leads to a high variance of HD markers, none of which is currently sensitive enough to 1) measure disease progression from small cohort data, 2) predict disease entry in carriers …
Study to Evaluate Music Therapy on Irritability and Impulsivity in Patients With Huntington's Disease (MUSIC-HD)
The study is an open-label clinical trial evaluating whether music therapy combined with conventional management reduces irritability and impulsivity in 15 patients with early-stage Huntington's disease. This pilot study aims to show the interest of alternative non-pharmacological measures such as a digital music therapy tool, adapted to an audience of …
The NAD-HD Study: A Study to Investigate Efficacy and Safety of Nicotinamide Riboside Compared With Placebo in Huntington's Disease
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if oral supplement of nicotinamide riboside (NR), a form of vitamin B3, slows disease progression in adults with Huntington's disease. It will also learn about the safety of nicotinamide riboside. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does NR slow …
Hinting Task for Huntington's Disease
Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by movement disorders, behavioural disorders and cognitive decline. Especially the behavioural and cognitive symptoms of the disease lead to significant disability and burden for patients as well as caregivers. One of the cognitive domains affected by HD is social cognition. …
Home-based TDCS (Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation) for Cognitive and Behavioral Symptoms in Huntington's Disease
The researchers hope to find out effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) sessions on the behavioral symptoms of Huntington's Disease. If participants are eligible to continue, they will be provided a device to administer the tDCS for 30 minutes each day and be asked to answer questions with the …
Evaluation of Three Tests to Assess Social Cognition in Huntington Disease
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the usefulness of a test of social functioning in persons with Huntington disease. Huntington disease affects motor function, psychological well-being and cognitive functions ("thinking abilities" such as paying attention, remembering and solving problems). It is also believed to affect important …
