    Accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation to enhance cognitive function and balance in dementia

    What is this Study about?

    McMaster University is conducting a study on the effects of brain stimulation in individuals aged 50 and older with dementia or memory loss. The research focuses on using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a noninvasive technique that delivers magnetic pulses to the brain, to enhance cognitive function and balance. The goal is to extend the positive effects of brain stimulation in improving cognition and balance in individuals with dementia.

    Eligibility Criteria

    1.) Diagnosed with Dementia and/or memory loss by a clinician

    2.) Exhibit adequate oral communication skills and cognitive function

    3.) Walk or stand with or without personnel or assistive devices

    4.) Individuals must be greater than or equal to 50 years of age

    Assessing the Impact of Day programs on individuals living with Dementia and their family/friend Caregivers

    What is this Study about?

    This study explores how adult day programs affect the lives of people living with dementia and their caregivers across several Canadian regions. Over time, we gather information about health, well-being, daily experiences, and quality of life of people living with dementia who attend day program and their caregivers. We also aim to learn about day programs themselves, such as their activities, staffing, challenges, and successes. By combining surveys, interviews, and focus groups, our program of research aims to understand what makes day programs helpful, where challenges exist, and how day program can better support families, and people who use them.

    Eligibility Criteria

    You are eligible to participate if you:

    • Are an older adult living with dementia who attends or does not attend a day program

    • You are a family/friend caregiver of someone living with dementia who attends or does not attend a day program

    • Live in one of the participating regions (Ontario, Winnipeg MB, Calgary AB, or Interior BC)

    • Are able to take part in a conversation or complete surveys, with support if needed

    Validation of the Hearing and Functioning in Everyday Life Questionnaire for Cognitively impaired Older Adults

    What is this Study about?

    Hearing loss is the third most common chronic health condition among people 65 and older and increases the risk of social isolation, depression, communication difficulties and dementia. Dementia risk may be reduced through hearing rehabilitation, and it is critical to develop tools for identifying hearing loss and its impact on communication. The Hearing and Functioning in Everyday Life Questionnaire (HFEQ) is a measure to identify hearing loss and everyday life functioning, not yet been evaluated for people with combined hearing loss and cognitive impairment. To bridge this gap, the aim is to evaluate the HFEQ for this group. The study has a cross-sectional observational study design. Adults over 60 years, with hearing loss and with and without cognitive impairment will be recruited. Data collection will include a cognitive and hearing assessment, assessment of conversation effectiveness and efficiency, hearing and general health history and five questionnaires (HFEQ, the Life-Space questionnaire, the Social Functioning in Dementia scale, and the PROMIS anxiety and depression scales).

    Eligibility Criteria

    • Are 60 years or older

    • Have hearing loss

    • Experience cognitive complaints (subjective memory complaints, mild cognitive impairment, or dementia) or,

    • Experience no changes in cognitive function
