Safety and Efficacy of Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation
The aim of this study is to assess the safety and the potential efficacy of personalized Local Field Potential (LFP)-based adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation (aDBS), using the implantable pulse generator (IPG) of the "AlphaDBS" System, in Parkinson's Disease patients, chronically implanted in subthalamic nucleus (STN) for DBS, at the time …
Stimulus-Evoked Directional Field Potentials to Guide Subthalamic and Pallidal DBS for PD
The purpose of the study is to determine whether new deep brain stimulation (DBS) device technologies can generate and record brain rhythms to reveal the best location for clinical stimulation.
Exploration of Differences in Metabolite Concentrations by 7Teslas NMR Spectroscopy in Striatum and Subthalamic Nuclei in de Novo Parkinsonian Patients and Control Subjects
Initially, the exploration of brain metabolism by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) of the high magnetic field proton (1H) (11.7T) applied to acute and chronic animal models of Parkinson's disease (PD) showed glutamatergic hyperactivity within the striatum, one of the components of the basal ganglia. Interestingly, acute administration of L-dopa …
Exercise & Brain Energetics in PD
There is increasing evidence that the usage and delivery of energy to the brain, known as brain energetics, is altered in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). This project will explore whether exercise has a positive impact on brain energetics using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) …
Study in Parkinson Disease of Exercise
This study is a Phase 3 multi-site, randomized, evaluator-masked, study of endurance treadmill exercise on changes in the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part III score at 12 months among persons with early stage Parkinson disease. 370 participants will be randomly assigned to 2 groups: 1)60-65% HRmax …
Algorithm Guided DBS Programming in Parkinson's Patients
Patients undergoing Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's disease will be subjected to standard of care programming and compared with the algorithm based programming (StimSearch). Various parameters including the effectivity and efficiency of algorithm programming will be compared against the standard of care programming.
Evaluation of a New Communication Aid Tool to Favor Global Patient Centered Care
PARKINSUN is a new communication aid tool, expected to favor global patient centered care for PD patients during consultation with GPs and neurologists. Two groups of patients will be randomized to use or not PARKINSUN when they consult their physicians every 3 months during 7 months.
Virtual Cycling Environments for Persons With Parkinson Disease
This study asks three questions about Persons with Parkinson Disease that use a bicycle for exercise. 1. Does the use of virtual reality increase the intensity and and enjoyment of the experience compared to bicycling without virtual reality? 2. Does the way in which the bicycling (interval compared to continous) …
Effect of Synbiotic as an Adjuvant Therapy in the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease
This study aims to investigate the possible efficacy and safety of synbiotic preparation of Lactobacillus acidophilus probiotic with prebiotic fibers as an adjuvant therapy in the treatment of Parkinson's disease
Intranasal Insulin and Glutathione as an Add-On Therapy in Parkinson's Disease
This study will be evaluating the safety and efficacy of insulin and glutathione in subjects with Parkinson's Disease compared to placebo.
