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

Home Alone: An Intervention for People With Cognitive Impairment Who Live Alone
NCT05746390
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate a program for adults who live alone and have some cognitive impairment (CI) to see if it is useful and acceptable. This program aims to help older adults with cognitive impairment who live alone to be engaged and active, as well as safe at home. The investigators want to see how useful this program is and how it can be improved. The specific aims are: * Specific Aim 1: Develop and Adapt Home Alone to Prepare for Pilot Testing. * Specific Aim 2: Pi... 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

Neurostimulation for Cognitive Enhancement in Alzheimer's Disease
NCT04404153
Recruiting
The prevalence of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is rising, but existing medications provide only modest control of cognitive decline and associated symptoms, and novel therapies are urgently needed. This randomized sham-controlled trial will determine if an innovative low-risk remotely-supervised transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) applied over the area of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex for 30 minutes at the intensity of 2 mA five times per week for 6 months at home can improve cogniti...

Music Therapy and Social Work Telehealth for Older Adult Well-Being
NCT06219148
Recruiting
This study investigates the benefits of using telehealth services, specifically a combination of music therapy and social work support, to improve the well-being of older adults. Investigators are focusing on outcomes such as reduced loneliness, improved cognition, and how well older adults with and without dementia perceive the quality of the services received. This research is crucial because as the population ages and conditions like Alzheimer's become more prevalent, effective psychosocial i... Read More
