nimodipine and Acute Confusional Senile Dementia

nimodipine has been researched along with Acute Confusional Senile Dementia in 38 studies

Nimodipine: A calcium channel blockader with preferential cerebrovascular activity. It has marked cerebrovascular dilating effects and lowers blood pressure.
nimodipine : A dihydropyridine that is 1,4-dihydropyridine which is substituted by methyl groups at positions 2 and 6, a (2-methoxyethoxy)carbonyl group at position 3, a m-nitrophenyl group at position 4, and an isopropoxycarbonyl group at position 5. An L-type calcium channel blocker, it acts particularly on cerebral circulation, and is used both orally and intravenously for the prevention and treatment of subarachnoid hemorrhage from ruptured intracranial aneurysm.

Trial Outcomes

Reaction Time for Face Recognition Test at Baseline, Week 8, and Week 24

The face recognition test is a computerized attention test in which ten unfamiliar faces were presented simultaneously on the computer screen for ten seconds to be remembered. After that, a single face was shown and the patient had to press the button one if he/she remembered or, otherwise, button five. It consisted of a random presentation of ten pre-exposed faces and ten new faces as distracters. The reaction time, assessed per patient, was averaged at each time point for each patient e.g., at baseline, Weeks 8 and 24. This test is part of the Computerized Neuropsychological Test Battery. (NCT00814658)
Timeframe: Baseline, Week 8, Week 24

Galantamine + Placebo (Week 24)3099.38

Reaction Time for Simple Reaction Time Test at Baseline, Week 8, and Week 24

The Simple Reaction Time is a computerized attention test that evaluates the patient's reaction time. The number one was presented in the center of the computer screen and the patient had to press this number in the response box as quickly as possible. The reaction time, assessed 100 times per patient, was averaged at each time point for each patient e.g., at baseline, Week 8 and Week 24. The patient's finger was put over button one before the test begun. This test is part of the Computerized Neuropsychological Test Battery (CNTB). (NCT00814658)

Reaction Time for Two-choice Reaction Time Test at Baseline, Week 8, and Week 24

The Two-choice reaction time test is a computerized attention test in which the numbers one or five were presented in the center of the computer screen in a random order. The patient had to press the correspondent button in the response box as quickly as possible. The patient's right finger was put over the button five and the left finger over button one before the test begun. The reaction time, assessed 100 times per patient, was averaged at each time point for each patient e.g., at baseline, Week 8 and Week 24.This test is part of the Computerized Neuropsychological Test Battery (CNTB).

Reaction Time for Word Recognition and Learning Test at Baseline, Week 8, and Week 24

The reaction time for word recognition and learning test is a computerized attention test that evaluates the patient's reaction time. This test is similar to the Face Recognition test procedure using Words. The recognition procedure was repeated three times to evaluate a learning effect. The reaction time, assessed per patient, was averaged at each time point for each patient e.g., at baseline, Week 8 and Week 24. This test is part of the Computerized Neuropsychological Test Battery (CNTB). (NCT00814658)

The Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) at Baseline, Week 8, and Week 24

The NPI evaluates 12 neuropsychiatric domains: delusions, hallucinations, dysphoria, anxiety, aggression, euphoria, dis-inhibition, irritability/lability, apathy, aberrant motor activity, eating disorders, and night-time behavior disturbances. For present domains, the severity and frequency of the behavior are determined. Frequency is rated 1 (rarely) to 4 (very often) and Severity is scored 1 (mild) to 3 (severe). The product scores vary from 1 (mild and rarely) to 12 (very often and severe). Total scores vary from 0 (no present domain) to 144 (all domains are present, are often and severe). (NCT00814658)

The Clinical Global Impression (CGI) at Week 4, Week 8, Week 16, and Week 24

The Clinical Global Impression (CGI) is a scale to assess treatment response in patients with mental disorders. The Clinical Global Impression Improvement scale (CGI-I) requires the clinician to rate how much the patient's illness has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state. A patient's illness is compared to change over time and rated as: very much improved, much improved, minimally improved, no change, minimally worse, much worse, or very much worse. (NCT00814658)
