clonidine and Cognition Disorders

clonidine has been researched along with Cognition Disorders in 13 studies

Clonidine: An imidazoline sympatholytic agent that stimulates ALPHA-2 ADRENERGIC RECEPTORS and central IMIDAZOLINE RECEPTORS. It is commonly used in the management of HYPERTENSION.
clonidine (amino form) : A clonidine that is 4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-amine in which one of the amino hydrogens is replaced by a 2,6-dichlorophenyl group.

Cognition Disorders: Disorders characterized by disturbances in mental processes related to learning, thinking, reasoning, and judgment.

"In a double blind, placebo controlled, randomized, yet balanced, cross-over experiment, 20 male schizophrenia patients on stable medication were assessed in an auditory prepulse inhibition (PPI), sensitization, and habituation of the startle reflex paradigm on 5 occasions: once after oral administration of placebo and after a single dose of 25, 50, 75, and 150 µg of clonidine."9.17Clonidine normalizes sensorimotor gating deficits in patients with schizophrenia on stable medication.

Trial Outcomes

ADCS-ADL-Severe

"The ADCS-ADL-Severe questionnaire is a secondary outcome measure aimed at detecting functional decline in people with severe AD. This scale is best suited for evaluating people with MMSE scores below 15/30, or equivalent. Questions are administered to a qualified caregiver informant about a set of 19 basic and instrumental ADL. Instrumental ADL are selected to be relevant to this level of severity of dementia, e.g., obtaining a beverage, turning lights on and off, turning a faucet on and off. Performance of each of these activities during the past 4 weeks, as well as the level of performance, are rated. A total score is derived by summing scores across items, and ranges from 0 (maximal impairment) to 54 (maximally independent function).~This outcome is the change from baseline to week 12." (NCT03710642)
Timeframe: 12 weeks

ADCS-Clinical Global Impression of Change in Agitation (ADCS-CGIC-A)

"The ADCS-CGIC-A is the primary outcome measure. It will be anchored to disruptive agitation, the target behaviors in this study. It measures whether the effects of active treatment are substantial enough to be detected by a skilled and experienced clinician on the basis of a direct examination of the participant and an interview of the participant's primary caregiver and other LTC facility staff. The baseline assessment is qualitative therefore there is no score at baseline; post-baseline scores represent a change score compared to baseline.~The ADCS-CGIC-A is a 7-point scale that is structured as the clinician's assessment of change from baseline compared to the ADCS-CGIC-A Baseline Worksheet. There is no baseline score; post-baseline scores range from 1 (improvement) to 7 (worsening). A score of 1-2 indicates clinically meaningful improvement; a score of 3-5 indicates no clinically meaningful change; a score of 6-7 indicates clinically meaningful worsening." (NCT03710642)
Timeframe: From Baseline through Week 12.

Caregiver Distress on NPI/NPI-NH

"Comparison of effects on caregiver distress/occupational disruptiveness scores on the NPI/NPI-NH. Minimum score is 0 and maximum score is 60. A higher score is a worse outcome.~This outcome is the change from baseline to week 12." (NCT03710642)

Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI)/Neuropsychiatry Inventory-Nursing Home Version (NPI-NH)

"The NPI was designed to characterize the neuropsychiatric symptoms and psychopathology of patients with AD and other dementias residing in the community about which information was obtained from family caregivers. The content of the questions and their scoring in the NPI-NH are identical to those of the NPI except for some slight rephrasing to be consistent with the LTC environment where information is gathered from professional caregivers. Assessment of the impact of behavioral disturbances on family and professional caregivers, is assessed by a caregiver distress scale in the NPI and an occupational disruptiveness scale in the NPI-NH; scoring of this component remains identical. Minimum score is 0 and highest score is 144. A higher score means a worse outcome.~This outcome is the change from baseline to week 12." (NCT03710642)

Rescue Medication: Total mg Lorazepam Administered

Cumulative total dose of Lorazepam rescue medication administered during the trial. Information on the total mg rescue lorazepam administered will be collected as additional secondary outcome measures. If prazosin is more effective than placebo, it is predicted that participants randomized to prazosin will be prescribed lower cumulative mg of rescue lorazepam for management of persistent or worsening disruptive agitation.
