Safety and Modulation of ABCC9 Pathways by Nicorandil for the Treatment of Hippocampal Sclerosis of Aging
Recruiting
Widespread recognition of the current and projected impact of the dementia epidemic has spurred research into novel drug discovery efforts. It is well recognized by most that Alzheimer's disease is not the only form of dementia and that beginning to turn attention to other disease states is critically important in order to alleviate this burden on the elderly population today This proposal seeks to further progress in this area through the repurposing an existing drug therapy as a potential trea...

Testing the Pain Clinical Practice Guideline
Recruiting
There are evidence based processes for assessment and management of pain using pharmacologic and nonpharmacological approaches. These were reviewed and included within the Pain Management Clinical Practice Guideline (Pain Management CPG) recently developed by AMDA: The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine. There are, however, many challenges to translating the use of Clinical Practice Guidelines into clinical settings. To overcome these challenges we developed and previously tested... Read More

Pragmatic Evaluation of Events And Benefits of Lipid-lowering in Older Adults
Recruiting
PREVENTABLE is a multi-center, randomized, parallel group, placebo-controlled superiority study. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to atorvastatin 40 mg or placebo. This large study conducted in community-dwelling older adults without cardiovascular disease (CVD) or dementia will demonstrate the benefit of statins for reducing the primary composite of death, dementia, and persistent disability and secondary composites including mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and cardiovascular events.

User-Led Meaningful Activity and Early-Stage Dementia
Recruiting
Neuropsychiatric symptoms are the most difficult, distressing, and burdensome aspects of dementia care and a catalyst for long-term care placement. Intervention studies have largely focused on helping caregivers manage these symptoms. However, little has been done with regard to persons at the earliest stages of dementia, nor have persons with dementia played a direct and active, central role in helping to design intervention studies. This study focuses on building, pilot testing, and evaluating... Read More

Evaluating the Efficacy of the Pain Identification and Communication Toolkit
Recruiting
This study will evaluate the Pain Identification and Communication Toolkit (PICT), a multicomponent intervention for caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). PICT provides training in observational pain assessment and coaching in effective pain communication techniques. It will recruit participants from programs of all-inclusive care for the elderly (PACE). The investigators hypothesize that PICT will help caregivers to recognize and communicate about pain in t...

Stories in the Moment: Dance Program for People Living With Dementia
Recruiting
This study is designed to evaluate the impact on the quality of life and wellbeing of a person-centered online dance program on people living with dementia or MCI and care partners. The duration of the study will be 1 year. Each participant in the study will be followed for approximately 4 months. The study includes joining a weekly 1-hour dance program online on Zoom for 12 weeks. Prior and after the dance program, participants will meet with the research coordinator to answer some questionnai... Read More

Remote Game-based Exercise Program for Cognitive and Motor Function Improvement
Recruiting
As our population ages, more older adults face motor-cognitive declines, increasing their risk of falls and fear of falling. Exercise is an effective way to maintain cognitive function, as supported by recent studies. However, those with poor motor and cognitive abilities often struggle to visit rehabilitation centers, leading to high dropout rates and low adherence to unsupervised programs. A remote exercise program tailored for individuals with cognitive impairments is urgently needed to prese... Read More

A Technology-Driven Intervention to Improve Early Detection and Management of Cognitive Impairment
Recruiting
Most experts advocate for early detection of cognitive impairment (CI) so that patients and caregivers can be prepared for making difficult decisions and to improve quality of life, but studies show that screening alone isn't sufficient to change clinician actions related to early detection. Using predictive modelling developed with machine learning methods and sophisticated clinical decision support (CDS) tools, it is possible to identify patients at elevated risk for CI and make it much easier...

HEARS-SLP: Providing SLP-Delivered Hearing Health Care to Individuals With Cognitive Impairment
Recruiting
Building upon the HEARS audiologist-community health worker (CHW) model, this study intervention will be delivered by a speech-language pathologist (SLP). The primary objective of the study is to develop and test an affordable and accessible hearing rehabilitative intervention that will be delivered by a SLP to individuals with cognitive impairment.
