Study to Understand Novel Biomarkers in Researching Dementia
NCT06547099
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to determine the relationships between amyloid, tau, and neurodegeneration biomarkers in the blood and the presence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology, clinical cognitive decline, and diagnosis. We aim to understand how well blood-based biomarkers can diagnose and predict Alzheimer's disease, which will help to further develop and validate blood tests for the disease.

Environmental and Sensory Intervention for Nursing Home Residents With Dementia Who Exhibit Persistent Vocalizations
NCT06568107
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to test a person-centered, nature-based non-pharmacological intervention for nursing home residents living with dementia who exhibit persistent vocalizations. The Environmental And Sensory Experience (EASE) involves the projection of a still nature image and the playing of nature sounds. Family members of the person living with dementia provide consent for the resident to participate in the study and complete a brief survey on nature preferences on the resident's beh... Read More

The Active Mind Trial: An Adaptive Randomized Trial to Improve Function and Delay Dementia
NCT04171323
Recruiting
Older adults at risk for dementia show a variety of cognitive deficits, which can be ameliorated by different cognitive training (CT) exercises. The best combination of CT exercises is unknown. The aim is to discover the most efficacious combination of CT exercises as compared to cognitive stimulation (which will serve as a stringent, active control) to modify the functional trajectories of older adults' with MCI, who are at high risk for dementia. The primary objective of the U01 phase was to d... Read More

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...

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

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
