Evaluating the Efficacy of the Pain Identification and Communication Toolkit
NCT06168604
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) and partnering health care clinics. The investigators hypothesize that PICT will help caregivers to recogn...

NCT04141878
Recruiting
This is a multicenter, randomized 2-arm clinical trial of two lifestyle interventions varying in intensity and format, in 400 older African American and non-Hispanic whites at increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia in the East San Francisco Bay Area. The trial will include two lifestyle interventions that differ in intensity and format: 1. Aerobic Exercise (AEx) Intervention that involves aerobic activities with in-class walking workouts and tutorials and carried out at the East Oakla... Read More

Sleep and Circadian Rhythm Biomarkers of Postoperative Delirium
NCT06052397
Recruiting
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to assess potential differences in sleep biomarkers in older adult patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. To define sleep/circadian biomarkers of delirium (sleep duration, regularity, stability and timing of rhythm) in a prospective observational study. 2. To determine if plasma Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology/inflammatory burden interacts with or moderates the relationship between a sleep/circad... Read More

Aging Brain Care Virtual Program
NCT06245499
Recruiting
The program involves a virtual intervention to be delivered by RN or SW care coordinators over one year. Every care partner will receive monthly virtual visits during the first 3 months and then quarterly or more depending on assessed need. The intervention relies on a tailored approach in which patient and caregiver needs are identified during visits using validated assessment tools and addressed with standardized protocols. Protocols include management of behavioral/psychological symptoms of d... Read More

Paradoxical Lucidity in Severe End-Stage Dementia
NCT05234866
Recruiting
Cognitive decline in dementia is considered irreversible, however episodes of paradoxical lucidity (PL) in severe dementia suggest other mechanisms may be in play. Beyond anecdotal reports of transient PL events occurring in patients predominantly in late-stage dementia and typically lasting anywhere from a few minutes to several hours, little is known about PL. The study team proposes to develop and conduct a mixed methods prospective study of PL during end stage advanced dementia, creating a d... Read More

Dementia Care Partner Hospital Assessment Tool
NCT05592366
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to see whether an adapted questionnaire called the Care Partner Hospital Assessment Tool (CHAT) for care partners of hospitalized patients living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) (CHAT-AD) can help people with dementia receive better care after they go home from the hospital. Participants will be a care partner ('family member or friend') who provides unpaid care to a hospitalized adult relative or partner to help them take care of themselves bec... Read More

Palliative Care for Patients with Dementia
NCT05749146
Recruiting
A multi-site, single-blinded, parallel, randomized-controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel model of in-home palliative care for dementia patients and their family caregivers. From inpatient and outpatient settings associated with four hospitals across New York City, patients with advanced dementia and their family caregivers will be randomized to intervention or augmented control.

Clinical Applications of Advanced Ophthalmic Imaging
NCT03135327
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical application of advanced ophthalmic imaging devices such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), retinal function imager (RFI), slit-lamp biomicroscopy (SLB), PERG in diseased eyes and normal controls. There are two phases in this study. The first phase is an observational phase which studies the eye in various conditions. The second phase is an interventional phase which studies the changes in the eyes after taking an over-the-counter medica... Read More

Cognitive Outcomes of Brain Stimulation As a Later-in-Life Treatment
NCT05564715
Recruiting
This is a pilot study being done to attempt to improve episodic memory problems in persons with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia. The pre-supplemental motor area (preSMA) and dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) have been shown to play a role in episodic memory and language retrieval. Prior studies have suggested that neurostimulation targeting this region can improve episodic memory and word recall. The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of high-definition transcrani... Read More

Alzheimer's Disease Treatment With Combination of 40Hz Light and Cognitive Therapy
NCT03657745
Recruiting
Electrical activity in the brain known as "gamma" brainwaves help connect and process information throughout the brain. These gamma waves are diminished in Alzheimer's disease. New research in Alzheimer's disease mouse models shows that exposure to light flickering at the rate of 40 flashes per second or 40Hz increased gamma brainwaves and led to clearing of beta amyloid plaques in the brain, a key abnormality in Alzheimer's disease. This project will test the ability of a novel iPad App (AlzLif... Read More
