Delirium Identification in Older Patients With Alzheimer's and Other Related Dementias In the Emergency Department
Recruiting
Delirium is highly prevalent and very bad for patients with dementia. Delirium is a dangerous medical condition that occurs in 6-38% of older Emergency Department patients and 70% of ICU patients. A person who develops delirium in the ED or hospital has a 12 times higher odds of being newly diagnosed with dementia in the next year compared to a similar patient who does not become delirious. Delirium is especially dangerous for persons living with Alzheimer Disease and Related Dementias (AD/ADRD)... Read More

Learning Skills Together Family Caregiver Complex Intervention
Recruiting
Learning Skills Together (LST) is a 6-week psychoeducational intervention focused on complex care (nursing) tasks completed by family caregivers to persons living with Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias. This study aims to test the efficacy of LST at reducing caregiver depression and negative appraisal of behavioral symptoms of dementia by building caregiver self-efficacy. To do this, eligible participants will be randomized into an intervention group (LST) or a control group condition fo... Read More

Genetic Characterization of Movement Disorders and Dementias
Recruiting
Background: There are two basic types of movement disorders. Some cause excessive movement, some cause slowness or lack of movement. Some of these are caused by mutations in genes. On the other hand, dementia is a condition of declining mental abilities, especially memory. Dementia can occur at any age but becomes more frequent with age. Researchers want to study the genes of families with a history of movement disorders or dementia. They hope to find a genetic cause of these disorders. This ca... Read More

Alzheimer's Prevention Registry: A Program to Accelerate Enrollment Into Studies
Recruiting
The Alzheimer's Prevention Registry (www.endALZnow.org) will collect contact and demographic information on individuals. The objective is to provide information the latest news and advances in Alzheimer's prevention research, and to inform enrollees about research studies in their community. Enrolled individuals will receive regular email communications. As research studies become available, individuals will be notified via email with information as to how proceed should they be interested. Regi... Read More

Life's End Benefits of cannaBidiol and tetrahYdrocannabinol
Recruiting
This is a multicenter randomized double-blind placebo-controlled Phase 2 study of an oral combination of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) compared to placebo over 12 weeks. This study is designed to test the hypothesis that treatment with an oral combination of THC/CBD will reduce agitation hospice care-eligible patients with agitation and dementia as measured by the Cohen Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) when compared to placebo at 2 weeks. This study will enroll approximat... Read More

A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of MK-1167 in Participants With Alzheimer's Disease Dementia (MK-1167-008)
Recruiting
Researchers want to learn if giving MK-1167 (the study medicine) along with acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEI) therapy can improve symptoms of Alzheimer's disease dementia (AD dementia), such as memory and mental activity. AD dementia is the most common type of dementia. AChEI therapy is the standard treatment for AD dementia. The goals of this study are to learn: * If at least one dose level (amount) of MK-1167 works to improve a person's memory and thinking compared to a placebo * About... Read More

E-Tailored Pain Management Support for Dementia Family Caregivers: Feasibility of the PACE-app
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether a web-based application called the Pain Control Enhancement App (PACE-app) can support family caregivers in managing pain for their care recipients with dementia. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is it feasible and acceptable for family caregivers to use the PACE-app? Does using the PACE-app improve caregiver self-efficacy in pain management, adherence to pain treatments, communication with care providers, well-being, and their care r... 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.

The BRAIN App (Phase 2 SBIR)
Recruiting
There are currently 6.7 million Americans living with dementia and, without significant breakthroughs, this figure will double to 12.7 million by 2050. There are about 46,000 long-term care (LTC) facilities in the U.S. More than half of LTC residents have some form of dementia (Alzheimer's Association, 2018). Responsive behaviors and dysfunction of the dementia care triad-i.e., the PLWD, professional Care Partner (CP), and Family Member (FM)-are inexorably linked. The emergence of responsive beh...

Enhancing Health and Quality of Life for Individuals With Dementia Through Transitional-State Snacks
Recruiting
Malnutrition significantly contributes to the disability and mortality associated with Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias. Thus, nutritional status is one important, modifiable clinical factor for maintaining physical and cognitive health among persons with dementia (PWD). This project will pilot an innovative approach to enhancing nutrition through the use of transitional-state snack supplements, or foods that start as one texture and change to another. Specifically,... Read More
