Active clinical trials for "Cognitive Dysfunction"

Program Ready2E.A.T. was developed to be tested in the upper limb reeducation on population at risk, such as: Children with dysfunction Cognitive impaired elderly Dementia people

Cognitive impairment or dementia is their last degree in one of the main concerns at a social level in these ages. To this day, there are different pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies that can help prevent deterioration, as in this case, physical exercise. In the existing scientific literature, you can find a lot of information about the effect of aerobic exercise on cognition, but little is known about the effect of force exercise and its effect on general cognition and executive functions. Therefore, in this research the investigators will investigate the effect of strength training in people over 60 with a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment in executive functions. For this, a controlled and randomized clinical trial will be developed in the city of Seville

Purpose: To explore effects of S-ketamine on postoperative pain and cognitive dysfunction after tibial fracture and orthopedic surgery. To evaluate and examine the incidence of adverse effects with the purpose of selecting the optimum dose.

A complex intervention study on a palliative rehabilitation blended learning program to support relatives and health care providers of people with ALS and cognitive impairments in coping with challenges.

This study adopted a practical approach in intermittent cooling on forehead and neck during an intra-squad baseball game. Exit velocity of batted balls was used as an indicator for hitting performance and a baseball-specific reactive agility test to evaluate the cognitive performance in defense.

The investigators decided to assess the prognostic value of NLRP3 inflammasome level in early after heart valve replacement surgery and whether it was related to postoperative cognitive dysfunction. Study population included 90 subjects. Neuropsychological tests were administrated one day before surgery and seven days after surgery. Before induction of anesthesia, before the end of the operation, 7 days after the operation, peripheral venous blood was sampled to measure IL-1B, IL-18 and NLRP3 inflammatory protein expression in peripheral blood monocytes. Analyze the data and draw conclusions.

The hypothesis is that the differential extent of microstructural damages in the affected brain regions can be specific to the disease of interest and could reflect the clinical severity. Therefore, the investigator propose that whole brain parcellation of diffusion MRI can be used to improve diagnosis and prediction of clinical outcomes in Parkinson's Disease. A regression model between clinical severity and two year clinical outcomes and diffusion properties from multiple parcellated regions will be developed. Blind validation will be performed.

Understanding how to delay age-related physical and mental declines is an issue for aging research. It has been shown that isolated aerobic, coordination and cognitive training improve brain functions and cognitive performances. Moreover, the combination of them leads to greater effects. Different combination modalities are possible: training programs demanding cognitive resources within the activity performed in a natural environment like Nordic Walking (or Tai chi, Dance...); or as in a conceptually-grounded circuit training where training components are systematically combined and their intensity controlled. The aim of this study is to compare three training programs: a Nordic walking one (NW), and two conceptual grounded, circuits training (CT-c; CT-fit). CT-c implemented by dual-task (DT) exercises, while CT-fit characterized by cognitive charge embodied in the movements through the use of technology. An improvement in physical, motor, and cognitive functions is expected by all three groups. However, our primary hypothesis is that the CT-fit will impact executive functions more. 45 healthy independent living community dwellers participants aged 65 to 80 will be recruited. Participants will be included after a general medical examination (geriatric screening and cycle-ergometer maximal effort test). The main exclusion criteria are signs of cognitive impairment, (MMSE <26/30), and physical impairments. Participants will be randomly divided into the 3 groups (NW, CT-c, CT-fit): The training program will last 8 weeks, 1 hour 3 times a week. Pre and post-tests will include cognitive assessment (MoCA; TMT; Stroop task, Happy Neuron™ working memory test, Rey Complex Figure copy task and dual-task capacities through the DT-OTMT); motor fitness assessment (Bipedal upright standing, Unipedal balance test, walking speed and size of the base of support, Timed Up & Go, Chair sit and reach test and Four square stepping test) and physical assessment (10 m incremental shuttle walking test, maximal handgrip force, 30s chair rise stand). Improving cognitive functions by adding new technology embodied in a systematically combined training (exergame), would result to be the best solution to optimize training for aging people.

The main objective of the proposed study is to evaluate the impact of coronavirus (2019-nCoV), hereafter COVID -19, on patients' loss of functional capacity after completion of hospital treatment. Specifically, the research will focus on examining changes in musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and respiratory function, as well as motor control. In addition, we aim to evaluate rehabilitation treatments after recovery from COVID -19 and consider additional preventive measures based on previous experience.

Major cardiovascular surgery is associated with postoperative cognitive decline (POCD), with a deterioration in memory, attention and speed of information processing. A multifactorial pathophysiology is presumed but this study focuses on the role of (neuro)inflammation in the development of POCD after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery.
