This Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the University of Pittsburgh aims to investigate the relationship between physical activity, pain, and motivation in older adults. The $268,040 award supports a 20-month study leveraging an existing longitudinal dataset to examine whether neural and behavioral measures of motivation can protect against physical activity decline in older adults with chronic pain. The research seeks to identify...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Wake Forest University Health Sciences provides $195,896 to enhance an ongoing weight loss study with older adults living with obesity. The key products and services include: Developing an automated image analysis platform to measure muscle quantity, quality, and changes over the 12-month study period using computed tomography (CT) scans of participants. Utilizing the CT data to develop...
This $748,180 Aging Research Project Grant (CFDA 93.866) awarded by the National Institute on Aging will fund a Stage 1A study to refine a caregiver-assisted pain coping skills training (PCST) intervention for patients with mild-to-moderate dementia and their caregivers. The study aims to (1) determine the optimal duration and delivery mode of the PCST intervention, and (2) identify effective recruitment and retention strategies, to prepare for a future Stage 2 randomized clinical trial. This...
This $616,809 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to optimize a remote-based physical activity intervention for adults with total knee replacement (TKR). The University of South Carolina, the prime awardee, will recruit nationwide participants to test the core "Energize!" exercise program, a 6-month fully automated internet-based program. Participants will also be randomized to receive 0-4 supplemental non-automated components,...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to evaluate the effects of adding morning bright light treatment to cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia in older adults undergoing total knee arthroplasty surgery. The $736,503 award, with a period of performance from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2029, will fund a randomized controlled trial to determine if this combined insomnia treatment approach can prevent chronic post-surgical...
This federal Project Grant award of $421,329 from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will fund the development and preliminary testing of a peer narrative video intervention called "RECLAIM YOUR DAY" (RYD) for older adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain. The project, led by Butler Hospital, a division of the non-profit Care New England Health System, will create 6 video episodes featuring real patients sharing their experiences and strategies...
This federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to study the role of hyperalgesic priming in chronic pain management for the elderly. The $656,000 award will fund research at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to: 1) Establish whether aged rats exhibit nociceptor plasticity (hyperalgesic priming) and if it is associated with systemic inflammation, and 2) Identify the underlying mechanisms of...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $1,365,011 to the University of Washington to investigate the mechanisms of mindfulness meditation (MM) and self-hypnosis (HYP) for reducing chronic pain in older adults. The study aims to use functional MRI and EEG to determine the neuromodulatory mediators and individual moderators of these non-pharmacological pain treatments. The 5-year project will enroll 375 older adults with chronic pain...
