A Clinical Trail of Traditional Chinese Medicine Rehabilitation for Stroke Lead to Dysphagia / Cognitive Disorder

The traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation for the deglutition and cognitive impairment after stroke will be intervened, which can promote the recovery of dysphagia and cognitive function of stroke patients, reduce the disability rate and improve the quality of life.

Combined Optokinetic Stimulation and Cueing-based Reading Therapy to Treat Hemispatial Neglect Following Stroke

Spatial neglect represents a common and severe cognitive disorder following unilateral (mostly right hemisphere) stroke. Patients are unaware of objects, persons and even own body parts in the (usually left) hemispace opposite to their brain lesion.

Cognitive Outcomes After Dexmedetomidine Sedation in Cardiac Surgery Patients

Cardiac surgery appears to carry the highest risk of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). These cognitive deficits are associated with increased mortality, prolonged hospital stay and loss of independence. The investigators propose to investigate the role of Dexmedetomidine (DEX) in preventing long-term POCD after cardiac surgery and enhancing early postoperative recovery.

Effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Associated With Cognitive Training in Alzheimer's Disease

Cognitive training (TCog) has similarly shown excellent results in the treatment of cognitive deficits due to AD. Thus, the present study aims to investigate when (before, during or after) the tDCS should be applied to potentiate the effects of TCog in people with AD by comparing four protocols of application …

tDCS in Post-stroke Neglect Rehabilitation

Introduction Stroke is the main cause of disability in the world and its sequelae have a great impact in the functional independence and quality of life of patients and families. Unilateral spatial neglect is one of the most frequent cognitive deficits after stroke, and its maintenance is associated with poor …

Tofacitinib for Immune Skin Conditions in Down Syndrome

People with Down syndrome (DS) display widespread immune dysregulation, including several immune skin conditions. This study hypothesizes that pharmacological inhibition of the increased interferon (IFN) signaling seen in DS is safe and could improve associated skin conditions. The study evaluates the safety and efficacy treatment with Tofacitinib, an FDA-approved drug …

Temporal Disorders in Left and Right Brain-Damaged Patients

Time is an important function that permeates our everyday activities but it has been so far significantly under-investigated in neurological patients. For instance, it is known that right brain damaged (RBD) patients with spatial attentional deficit (neglect) are impaired in both the ability to estimate the duration of an event …

A Study of Cognitive Changes in Patients Receiving Brain Radiation

Cranial radiation therapy (RT), commonly used to treat benign and malignant brain tumors, can lead to cognitive impairments in domains not related to neuroanatomic structures directly impacted by the tumor. The study will prospectively enroll 58 patients with benign and low-grade brain tumors who will undergo partial brain RT, with …
