The goal of this study is to learn more about the brain activity underlying Parkinson's disease cognitive impairment. The investigators will utilize neural recordings from corticostriatal structures performed during deep brain stimulation surgery to measure neural activity underlying nonmotor symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
This study explores the use of multifunctional, non-invasive spinal cord transcutaneous stimulation (scTS) to address axial motor symptoms, particularly gait dysfunction, in Parkinson's disease (PD). These symptoms, resistant to levodopa and inadequately managed by deep brain stimulation (DBS), arise from maladaptive spinal network changes. A non-invasive approach like scTS could …
The purpose of this study is to understand whether people with Parkinson's Disease and depression have improvement in their symptoms after psilocybin therapy.
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disorder clinically defined by the association of resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability. The histopathology of PD is characterized by the loss of neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNPc) and the accumulation of α-synuclein aggregates within Lewy bodies. The …
In this project, ocular motor, pupil and gait data in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) will be collected in order to develop machine learning models for the diagnosis and monitoring of PD. With this, the investigators aim to advance the state of the art in PD diagnosis and monitoring. By …
Parkinson's Disease Treadmill Training RCT Summary Parkinson's disease (PD) affects over 10 million people globally. Despite optimal pharmacological treatment, approximately 70% of individuals experience unstable gait and falls, leading to loss of confidence, social isolation, fractures, and frequent hospitalisations. Treadmill training-especially when augmented by mechanical or virtual-reality perturbations-has shown promise …
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a leading neurodegenerative health condition in Sweden and a public health concern. Although no cure exists, functional independence and participation in society remain top priorities, and can be achieved through targeted physical activity (PA) interventions. To date, few longitudinal cohort studies have been conducted, using PA …
31 patients aged 50-80 years diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (Modified Hoehn-Yahr stages 1-3) and 31 healthy volunteers. At the start of the study, sociodemographic data for all participants will be recorded. To assess the mental and functional status of Parkinson's disease patients, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the …
This project aims to identify why some people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD) become less physically active, and which factors support or hinder activity. Understanding these factors is essential for developing person centred interventions and effective support that can be implemented in routine healthcare. A national, multicentre longitudinal cohort study will …
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of a specialized multi-modal intervention in patients with moderate to advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). The hypothesis is that a specialized motor- and cognitive exercise program in addition to usual care can improve gait and balance better than usual care alone. …
