Remote Balance Training for Individuals With Dementia
NCT05558215
Recruiting
Individuals with dementia (IwDs) fall more and are more seriously injured in falls than their age-matched, cognitively intact peers. An accessible and sustainable fall prevention program would be of great value. Using remote technology has become commonplace during the COVID-19 pandemic, and Marymount University's new Center for Optimal Aging plans to use this technology to bring a web-based version of a well-established and accepted evidence-based fall prevention intervention, the Otago Exercis...

Persons With Dementia and Their Extended Family Caregivers
NCT04863859
Recruiting
Immediate family members shoulder the majority of care responsibilities for persons living with dementia. However, due to various societal changes, elder care responsibilities have expanded to extended family members, including grandchildren, siblings, nieces/nephews, siblings, and step-kin. The main objective of this study is to understand the caregiving journeys of various extended family members involved in dementia care. We aim to learn about caregivers' care management strategies; their us... Read More

Assessment of DeMentia Nutrition Intervention Needs Among Care Recipients and carEgivers
NCT05536830
Recruiting
Nutrition is critical for disease prevention and brain health. Malnutrition and weight loss often affect persons with Alzheimer's dementia (PWD), worsening overall health and dementia. Informal caregivers (usually family members) perform many nutrition-related tasks as part of daily care such as food preparation and feeding. Limited research, however, suggests informal caregivers experience high rates of caregiver burden, malnutrition and low health literacy. More research is needed to uncover t... Read More

A Music-Based Mobile App for People Living With Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD)
NCT06140342
Recruiting
The purpose of this pilot is to develop a mobile application that detects physiological measures of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias and triggers auto-play of personalized songs in a wearable device. The investigators will test the feasibility and acceptability of the app. This app may be an important tool to include in daily caregiving in a home setting by extending established benefits of music therapy for people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.

PET Imaging of Neuroinflammation in Neurodegenerative Diseases Via a Novel TSPO Radioligand
NCT03958630
Recruiting
Background: Aging-related progressive neurological disorders include frontotemporal dementia, Lou Gehrig s disease, and Alzheimer s disease. Little is known about what causes these disorders. Brain inflammation may be involved. Researchers want to see if scans using radioactive drugs can show brain inflammation. Objective: To see if the drug [11C]ER176 can show inflammation in the brain in people with certain progressive neurological disorders compared to healthy adults. Also to find genes th... Read More

PainChek® US Validation Nursing Home Study
NCT06049732
Recruiting
Pain is common amongst people living with dementia. However, as people's dementia worsens their ability to self-report pain diminishes because of limitations in their cognition and communication abilities. As a result pain in people with moderate to severe dementia often goes under-recognised and undertreated. PainChek® is a technology-enabled, observational pain assessment tool, in the form of a mobile application designed specifically to assist healthcare professionals and professional caregi...
