A Multi-domain Lifestyle Intervention Among Aged Community-residents in Zhejiang, China
Cognitive ImpairmentAlzheimer Disease8 moreA study conducted in Finland discovered that a multidomain intervention, consisting of physical activity, nutritional guidance, cognitive training, social activities, and management of vascular risk factors, effectively decelerated cognitive decline in healthy older adults who were at an increased risk of cognitive decline. The HERITAGE study is a 2-year clustered randomized controlled trial (clustered-RCT) that explores the efficacy of a multidomain intervention among 1200 elderly residents with a higher risk of cognitive decline and dementia in Zhejiang Province, China
Digital Mirror Therapy With Uni- and Bilateral Mirror Visual Feedback After Stroke: Treatment Effects...
StrokeCerebrovascular Disorders1 moreThe specific study aims will be: To examine the treatment effects of a new digital mirror therapy (MT) system versus a mirror box in patients with stroke by conducting a 4-group randomized controlled trial. To examine the electrophysiological mechanisms of uni-mirror visual feedback (uni-MVF) condition with unimanual training mode, uni-MVF condition with bimanual training mode, and bi-MVF condition with bimanual training mode in the new MT system by EEG.
The SINgapore GERiatric Intervention Study to Reduce Cognitive Decline and Physical Frailty (SINGER)...
Cognitive ImpairmentAlzheimer Disease8 moreA study in Finland found that a multidomain intervention of physical activity, nutritional guidance, cognitive training, social activities and management of vascular risk factors slowed cognitive decline in healthy older adults at increased risk of cognitive decline. A 6-month pilot study was initiated in Singapore, which demonstrated the cultural feasibility and practicality of the FINGER interventions and a set of locally adapted interventions in an Asian population. The SINGER study is a 2-year randomized controlled trial that aims to test the efficacy and safety of these lifestyle changes, including diet and cardiovascular risk factor management, cognitive and physical exercises, in delaying cognitive decline in older adults at risk of dementia.
Locomotor Training With Testosterone to Promote Bone and Muscle Health After Spinal Cord Injury...
Spinal Cord InjurySpinal Cord Injuries24 moreThis pilot study will determine the feasibility of implementing a combinatory rehabilitation strategy involving testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) with locomotor training (LT; walking on a treadmill with assistance and overground walking) in men with testosterone deficiency and walking dysfunction after incomplete or complete spinal cord injury. The investigators hypothesize that LT+TRT treatment will improve muscle size and bone mineral density in men with low T and ambulatory dysfunction after incomplete or complete SCI, along with muscle fundtion and walking recovery in men with T low and ambulatory dysfunction ater incomplete SCI.

DepressionPsychiatric Disorder3 moreTesting and validating an e-health (smartphone application) approach to better understand the determinants of day-to-day symptomatology in depression, medication adherence, and treatment efficacy in the goal of maximizing patient care.
Dopaminergic Therapy for Frontotemporal Dementia Patients
Frontotemporal DementiaDementia19 moreThis is a phase IIa 24-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Rotigotine (RTG) transdermal administration at the dosage of 4 mg or 6 mg per day versus Placebo (PLC) in newly diagnosed behavioural Frontotemporal Dementia (bvFTD) patients. 75 patients with a diagnosis of probable bvFTD will be randomly allocated to the 3 treatment arms (RTG 4mg/day, RTG 6mg/day or PLC), with 25 patients per group. Clinical and neurophysiological measurements and brain metabolism via FDG-PET will be collected before and after drug administration.
Cost-effectiveness of Forced Aerobic Exercise for Stroke Rehabilitation
StrokeCerebrovascular Disorders5 moreThe purpose of this study is to investigate whether aerobic exercise improves the participant's ability to recover function in the arm and leg affected by the participant's stroke. The investigators are also calculating the cost effectiveness of the rehabilitation interventions.
