Evaluation of GM101 Injection in Patients With Parkinson's Disease
The objective of this study is to assess the safety of GM101 in participants with Parkinson's disease (PD)
Genetics and Aerobic Exercise to Slow Parkinson's Disease Trial
The proposed multi-site, Genetics and Aerobic Exercise to Slow PD (GEARS) Trial will, for the first time, determine the interplay between genetics and exercise in altering PD progression. In sum, 200 PD patients will be recruited from the Cleveland and Salt Lake City metro areas to participate in the Pedaling …
HOme-Based Self-management and COgnitive Training CHanges Lives (HOBSCOTCH)-Parkinson's Disease (HOBSCOTCH-Parkinson's)
The goal of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of adapting and delivering the existing home-based epilepsy self-management intervention, HOBSCOTCH, for people with Parkinson's Disease (PD) The main questions it aims to answer are: Can the current HOBSCOTCH program be adapted for people with PD? Will people with …
High Frequency Light, Sound, and Tactile Stimulation to Improve Motor and Cognitive Deficits in Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) impacts different types of neural oscillations in the brain, including beta (13-30Hz) and gamma oscillations (30-80Hz), which contributes to PD's cardinal symptoms of resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), and gait instability. The investigators' lab has developed a non-invasive method of increasing gamma power in the …
The Effect of Compensation Strategies on Gait Impairment in Parkinson's Disease
Gait disturbances are disabling and common in Parkinson's disease (PD). Patients use many different, and typically self-developed, strategies to compensate for their walking abnormalities. There is a wide variety of compensatory strategies, of which external and internal cueing are the most commonly known. External cueing refers to externally produced predictive …
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation(rTMS) Regulating Slow-wave to Delay the Progression of Parkinson's Disease
At present, no drug therapy has been proven to delay the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). rTMS, as a non-invasive neuromodulation method, can regulate Slow-wave sleep (SWS). SWS is recognized closely related to neurodegeneration. However, there has been no clinical studies on if rTMS could delay the progression of PD …
The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Neuroinflammation in Parkinson's Disease-TSPO- Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Substudy
The primary objective of this substudy is to measure the concentration and the regional brain distribution of activated brain microglia/macrophages using the PET ligand [18F]DPA-714 in participants enrolled in the UAB Innate and Adaptive Immunity in Parkinson's Disease (Clinical Research Core) and Longitudinal [18F]DPA-714 Imaging in a Parkinson Disease Cohort …
Deep Brain Stimulation Therapy in Movement Disorders
Background In deep brain stimulation (DBS), a device called a neurostimulator is placed in the chest. It is attached to wires in parts of the brain that affect movement. DBS might help people with movement disorders like Parkinson s disease (PD), dystonia, and essential tremor (ET). Objective To provide DBS …
6 Month Follow up Study on the Changes of Postural Stability in Parkinsonian Patients in Response to High Frequency TMS.
Postural instability is one of the cardinal signs in Parkinson's disease (PD). It represents one of the most disabling symptoms in the advanced stages of the disease. It is associated with frequent falls and loss of independence. The aim of the current study is to assess the long term efficacy …
Effect of Adding Computerized Cognitive Training on Balance, Locomotion and Cognition in Parkinson's Disease
BACKGROUND: Postural instability and gait abnormalities are cardinal features in Parkinson's disease (PD). It represents one of the most disabling symptoms in the advanced stages of the disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the immediate and long-term effects of adding computer-based cognitive training to physical therapy interventions …
