The CCNA COMPASS-ND study aims to investigate the bases, commonalities, and distinguishing characteristics of Alzheimer disease and related neurodegenerative disorders.
To look at the differences in "social cognition"- the ability to look at the interpret the social world and put yourself in someone else's shoes - between people with depression, people with frontotemporal dementia and healthy controls.
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blinded clinical trial exploring the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban as compared to acetylsalicylic acid in reducing stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA) and neurocognitive decline, in subjects with non-valvular AF and with low risk of stroke.
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blinded clinical trial exploring the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban as compared to acetylsalicylic acid in reducing stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA) and neurocognitive decline, in subjects with non-valvular AF and with low risk of stroke.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, biomarker and cognitive efficacy of investigational products in subjects who are known to have, or are at risk of having an Alzheimer's disease-causing mutation by determining if treatment with the study drug slows the rate of progression of cognitive impairment and improves disease-related biomarkers.
This study also offers an observational component collecting cognitive assessment data until the availability of an enrolling drug treatment group, referred to as cognitive run-in (CRI).
Losing the ability to walk can lead to fewer opportunities to socialize with friends and family, and participate in the community. When this happens, powered wheelchairs can provide access to homes and communities, contributing to health and well-being. Training by a qualified occupational therapist allows an individual to use a powered wheelchair safely and effectively. Learning to drive a powered wheelchair can be difficult, frustrating and time consuming for people with cognitive and physical challenges.
The purpose of this study is to test an educational program called Brain Health PRO. This program is designed to teach you about dementia risk factors. It will provide best available evidence for lifestyle changes that may help lower dementia risk, including exercise, nutrition, sleep, and social and psychological health.
We are recruiting people 65 and older to learn about the brain function differences between those who take falls, and those who do not. We will compare degree of cognitive decline over 12 months between fallers and non-fallers through brain scans (fMRI). We hope to ease identification of older adults at risk for dementia so intervention can occur.
The investigators will conduct a proof-of-concept randomized controlled trial study to provide preliminary evidence of efficacy of a resistance exercise training program for maintaining white matter integrity and improving cognitive function in older adults with vascular cognitive impairment, compared with a stretch and relaxation program.
The purpose of this study is to provide subjects who have completed participation in a Phase 2 or Phase 3 trial with TRx0237 continued access to therapy and to evaluate the long-term safety of TRx0237.
The investigators will conduct a 8-week proof-of-concept randomized controlled trial to provide preliminary evidence of efficacy of Fit Brains (Rosetta Stone Canada) training—a mobile cognitive training program—on cognitive and brain plasticity in older adults. The investigators will also explore whether Fit Brains training paired with a brief bout of exercise would enhance the potential cognitive benefits of Fit Brains.
We aim to examine the relationship bewteen cognitive function and sleep quality as a function of aging; and to determine whether sleep disruptions differ across individuals with mild cognitivie impairment, depending on stroke-status (i.e., chronic stroke survivors versus non-stroke). These findings will be used to develop a randomized controlled trial to test interventions designed to improve sleep quality in an effort to promote cognitive function in older adults at risk for dementia.
The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical, cognitive, motor, brain imaging, genetic and biochemical biomarker characteristics of Alzheimer disease (AD), subcortical vascular disease (SVaD) and mixed dementia (AD + sVaD).
