Trial Outcomes & Findings for Problem Adaptation Therapy for Mild Cognitive Impairment and Depression (NCT NCT03043573)

NCT ID: NCT03043573

Last Updated: 2025-08-12

Results Overview

Global cognition will be assessed by the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status Total Score (RBANS). The total score represents the simple sum of the five cognitive domain index scores (Immediate Memory, Visuospatial/Constructional, Language, Attention, and Delayed Memory). Total raw scores are converted based on the subjects age and a RBANS scoring manual. Higher scores indicate better functionality. The total scores range from 200 to 800.

The 12-item WHODAS-II (World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule) assesses functional impairment across six domains of daily living. Each item is scored on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (No difficulty), 1 (Mild Difficulty), 2 (Moderate Difficulty), 3 (Severe Difficulty) and 4 (Extreme difficulty or cannot do). Each individual item has a minimum score of 0 and a maximum of 4. The total raw score is computed by summing all 12 items, resulting in a possible score range of 0 to 48. Higher score reflect greater functional impairment. Lower scores indicate better functional status and less reported difficulty with daily activities.

Depression assessed by Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score. The MADRS is a 10 item questionnaire assessing severity of depression by scoring participants on mood, anxiety, sleep, concentration, appetite, and suicidal thoughts. The lowest score is 0, no depression symptoms, and the highest possible score is 60, severe depression symptoms.

The Delayed Recall subscale of the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) assesses memory function across multiple tasks. It includes the following components: List Recall Total Score (range: 0-10), List Recognition Total Score (range: 0-20), Story Recall Total Score (range: 0-12), and Figure Recall Total Score (range: 0-20). The raw scores from these four components are summed to yield a Delayed Memory Index raw total score ranging from 0 to 62, with higher scores indicating better memory performance. To facilitate standardized interpretation, raw total scores are converted to age-adjusted Index Scores using normative data provided in the RBANS manual. These Index Scores have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15, and are normed by decade (e.g., 60-69, 70-79, 80-89). Higher Index Scores reflect better memory functioning relative to age-matched peers.

Trails B alternate between numbers and letters.

Trail Making Test is a neuropsychological assessment where raw scores are converted into a scaled score range from 1 to 25. Participants with scores between 1 - 8 have impaired performance; Mid range scores typically fall between 10 - 16, and subjects who fair the best on this measure have scores ranging from 20 - 25.

Perceived Stress Scale s the most widely used psychological instrument for measuring the perception of stress. It is a measure of the degree to which situations in one's life are appraised as stressful. The 10-item measure has 4 choice options; (0=Never, 1=Almost Never, 2=Sometimes, 3=Fairly Often, 4=Often). 4 items are reversed scored and the total score is summed across all items ranging from 0 to 40. Lower scores are better and indicate less stress.
