Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

  1. Establishment of early digitalized recognition devices and multimodal warning models for AD: Participants undergo clinical assessments, and if they meet the inclusion criteria, their gender, age, MMSE, MoCA, CDR, GDS scores, as well as EEG ERP and MR data are collected. Eye-tracking analysis based on human-computer interaction perception technology, limb movement detection, and laser radar depth sensor fusion cognitive assessment are also performed simultaneously. After enrollment, follow-up assessments using scales (MMSE, MoCA, CDR, GDS, ADAS-cog, etc.) are conducted every six months, and EEG ERP and MR data are collected annually.
  2. Construction of a precision transcranial ultrasound stimulation intervention system: Participants were randomly divided into true stimulation group and false stimulation group: true/false stimulation for 2 weeks, washout for 2 weeks, false/true stimulation for 2 weeks. After treatment, behavioral scale assessment, EEG ERP and multimodal MRI were performed to evaluate the therapeutic effect.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Group 1
The group of subjects underwent active Transcranial ultrasound stimulation for 2 weeks
Device: Transcranial ultrasound stimulation
In each active/sham-ultrasound stimulation experiment, subjects first underwent two baseline motor evoked potential (MEP) tests, with an interval of 15 minutes between the two baseline tests. After 15 minutes of true/pseudo-transcranial ultrasound stimulation, subjects immediately underwent a MEP test, and then 15 minutes later, subjects underwent another MEP test. The MEP was tested again 15 minutes later.
Sham Comparator: Group 2
The group of subjects underwent sham Transcranial ultrasound stimulation for 2 weeks
Device: Transcranial ultrasound stimulation
In each active/sham-ultrasound stimulation experiment, subjects first underwent two baseline motor evoked potential (MEP) tests, with an interval of 15 minutes between the two baseline tests. After 15 minutes of true/pseudo-transcranial ultrasound stimulation, subjects immediately underwent a MEP test, and then 15 minutes later, subjects underwent another MEP test. The MEP was tested again 15 minutes later.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Power spectrum
Time Frame: 6 months
The investigators collected EEG data of participants in resting state and listening to music and the absolute power spectral density values (alpha,beta,theta,delta bands dB/Hz) will be calculated using spectral analysis.
6 months
Duration of microstate
Time Frame: 6 months
The investigators refined the microstate method to accurately estimate topographical differences. The calculations were performed for measures of duration (ms). The duration of each microstate were utilized to predict disease classification and prognosis evaluation for patients with Alzheimer's disease.
6 months
Occurrence of microstate
Time Frame: 6 months
The investigators refined the microstate analysis. The calculations were performed for measures of occurrence (times per minute). The occurrence of microstates were utilized to predict disease classification and prognosis evaluation for patients with disturbance of consciousness.
6 months
Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)
Time Frame: 6 months
MMSE includes a series of questions and tasks to assess the individual's memory, attention, calculation, language, spatial, and executive functions. The test items include recalling instructions, reproducing patterns, performing mathematical calculations, naming objects, writing sentences, etc. Each item has different scoring criteria, and scores are assigned based on the participant's responses and performance. The total score is 30, with higher scores indicating better cognitive functioning.
6 months
Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)
Time Frame: 6 months
MoCA is a standardized assessment tool used to evaluate cognitive function, particularly for early cognitive impairment and mild cognitive impairment. It consists of a series of questions and tasks that cover areas such as memory, attention, executive functions, language, and spatial abilities. Test items include naming animals, drawing a clock, recalling a sequence, task guidance, etc., and each item is assigned a different score. The score range is from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating better cognitive function.
