Delirium Identification in Older Patients With Alzheimer's and Other Related Dementias In the Emergency Department
NCT06326424
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
NCT05846984
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

ADRC Clinical Cohort (Alzheimer's Disease)
NCT06703541
Recruiting
The purpose of the study is to establish a clinical cohort for the Duke/UNC Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC).

Caregivers Preparing for Their Own Health Care Emergency
NCT06635876
Recruiting
The proposed research will develop and test an online Emergency Preparedness Toolkit to help caregivers prepare for their own unexpected health events. Caregivers of persons with dementia often ignore their own health needs as their primary focus is the care of the person with dementia. This can lead to a caregiver delaying their own care and subsequently emergent health events. The Emergency Preparedness Toolkit provides guidance to the caregiver as to how to identify and transfer care to a sta... Read More

A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of MK-1167 in Participants With Alzheimer's Disease Dementia (MK-1167-008)
NCT06721156
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

Effect of Cognitive Empathy Training on Dementia Caregivers
NCT06650527
Recruiting
The goal of this project is to investigate the effect of cognitive empathy training on mental health, inflammation, and immune function in caregivers of people living with dementia (PLWD), and to examine the underlying psychological and neurobiological mechanisms. The primary aim is to establish the effectiveness of cognitive empathy training in improving caregiver mental health and immune function, and in decreasing caregiver inflammation The secondary aim is to investigate the psychological...

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

Genetic Characterization of Movement Disorders and Dementias
NCT02014246
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
