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

CONFIDENCE-AI Financial Education for Caregivers (CONFIDENCE-AI)
NCT06134180
Recruiting
The intervention being tested, CONFIDENCE-AI is a refined version of the original CONFIDENCE intervention made to reduce psychological financial strain and improve management of out-of-pocket care costs while increasing caregiver resourcefulness skills. Participants will be asked to participate in a 4-week intervention that includes participation in four, synchronous group-based Zoom sessions as well as between-session activities to apply learning. Participants will also receive tailored text me... 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

δ in Dementia Clinical Trials
NCT05592678
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate potential improvements in clinical trial methods relating to dementia and cognitive decline. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can an intervention's outcome be better assessed by a latent variable ("δ") integrating cognitive performance with functional status? * Can latent biomarkers of δ guide the selection of an intervention that will modulate dementia severity? * Can a latent variable, derived from information collected remotely fro...

Neurologic Stem Cell Treatment Study
NCT02795052
Recruiting
This is a human clinical study involving the isolation of autologous bone marrow derived stem cells (BMSC) and transfer to the vascular system and inferior 1/3 of the nasal passages in order to determine if such a treatment will provide improvement in neurologic function for patients with certain neurologic conditions. http://mdstemcells.com/nest/

PET Imaging of Cyclooxygenases in Neurodegenerative Brain Disease
NCT04396873
Recruiting
Background: About 5 million adults in the U.S. have Alzheimer s disease or another adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder. Many studies have found that inflammation in the brain contributes to these diseases. Researchers want to find a better way to measure this inflammation. Objective: To learn whether COX-1 and/or COX-2 is elevated in the brains of individuals with neurodegenerative brain disease compared to healthy volunteers. Eligibility: Adults age 18 years and older in good general he... Read More

Objective Assessment of Behavioral Associations of Patients With Dementia
NCT02617056
Recruiting
It is generally acknowledged that patients with dementia are best cared for at home. However, outbursts of various behavioral disturbances, e.g., combativeness, appear in most cases and often necessitate institutionalization. These outbursts are often without apparent warning, which limits preventive interventions. The measurement of the electrical activity of the skin is well-studied as an indicator of stress or agitation. The investigators propose to monitor the electrical activity of skin in... Read More

5-Cog 2.0: A Pragmatic Clinical Trial
NCT05515224
Recruiting
Cognitive impairment related to dementia is frequently under-diagnosed in primary care settings. This problem is more prevalent in health disparities populations. The investigators developed the 5-Cog brief cognitive assessment that is simple to use, standardized, takes \<5 minutes, does not require informants, and accounts for major technical, cultural, and logistical barriers of current assessments. The investigators propose a hybrid Type 1 effectiveness-implementation design in real-world set... Read More

Remote Game-based Exercise Program for Cognitive and Motor Function Improvement
NCT05235113
Recruiting
As our population ages, more older adults face motor-cognitive declines, increasing their risk of falls and fear of falling. Exercise is an effective way to maintain cognitive function, as supported by recent studies. However, those with poor motor and cognitive abilities often struggle to visit rehabilitation centers, leading to high dropout rates and low adherence to unsupervised programs. A remote exercise program tailored for individuals with cognitive impairments is urgently needed to prese... Read More

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...
