Neuropsychology of Financial Capacity

Study Purpose

The present project aims to investigate the financial capacity in patients diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease or parkinsonism, brain tumor (glioma or meningioma) and cerebrovascular lesion (stroke), in order to evaluate the presence and degree of impairment, and the role of some factors as potential predictors of financial incapacity. The term 'financial capacity' means both operations relating, for example, to asset management or investing money, and activities of daily life such as shopping or using small sums of money; these activities are mediated by different cognitive functions, from numerical and arithmetic skills to decision making. Financial capacity is, in fact, an instrumental activity of daily life (i.e. Instrumental Activity Of Daily Living, I-ADL) whose impairment negatively affects the functional autonomy of the individual, so as to be subject to legal protection. To assess financial capacity, the Numerical Activities of Daily Living

  • - Financial (NADL-F; Arcara et al.
, 2017) will be administered, a battery of tests aimed at investigating both financial performance and financial competence according to the most recent neuropsychological models proposed in the literature.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

Yes
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Observational
Eligible Ages 18 Years - 99 Years

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT05791006
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
