The Therapeutic Effect of Exercise Training on Patients With Dementia

Study Description
Brief Summary:
This study aimed to clarify whether strength training or aerobic training could bring more benefits for patients with dementia

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Dementia Device: Strength training Device: Aerobic training Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
Exercise training has been evidenced to bring various of benefits for patients with dementia in past studies. However, whether strength training or aerobic training could bring better benefits has not been confirmed in the past. This study designed to recruit 30 patients with mild dementia in the first year. Every patient will receive strength training using dumbbells, butterfly machine and vertical leg press machine for four weeks. Outcome measures including self care ability, cognitive function, MCP-1, BDNF and IGF-1 levels, and the degree of depression will be recorded before and after the training. In the second year, the investigators also designed to recruit 31 patients with mild dementia. These participants will instead receive aerobic training using stationary bicycle for four weeks. The same outcome measures will be tested as in the first year. Via the results of this study, whether strength training or aerobic training could bring better benefits in dementia patient can thus be elucidated.
Study Design
Layout table for study information
Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Actual Enrollment : 61 participants
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Intervention Model Description: comparison of therapeutic effect between aerobic and strength training on dementia patient
Masking: Double (Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: The Therapeutic Effect of Exercise Training on Old Patients With Dementia: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Actual Study Start Date : April 9, 2018
Actual Primary Completion Date : December 26, 2018
Actual Study Completion Date : December 26, 2018
Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Strength training
Muscle strength training programs
Device: Strength training
Using dumbbells, butterfly machine and vertical leg press machine for strength training, 12 repetition maximum weight for 12 repetition, three times a day, five days a week, for a total of four weeks

Experimental: Aerobic training
Aerobic training programs
Device: Aerobic training
Using stationary bicycle to perform cardiopulmonary endurance training in 50-70 heart rate reserve for 20 minutes, five days per week, for a total of four weeks

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Barthel index [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]
    To evaluate function of activities of daily living, range from 0-100, higher values represent a better outcome

  2. Mini-mental state examination [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]
    To evaluate cognitive function, range from 0-30, higher values represent a better outcome

  3. Montreal Cognitive Assessment [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]
    To evaluate cognitive function, range from 0-30, higher values represent a better outcome

  4. Geriatric Depression Scale [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]
    To evaluate patient's depression status, range from 0-15, higher values represent a worse outcome


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Concentration of serum brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]
    Increasing BDNF level is related to preventing neurodegeneration.

  2. Concentration of plasma insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]
    Lower plasma level of IGF-1 is associated with an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's dementia, and higher levels of it may protect against neurodegeneration.

  3. Concentration of plasmamonocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]
    The elevation of MCP-1 concentration usually means the progression of systemic inflammation.
