The goal of this study is to learn more about the brain activity underlying Parkinson's disease risk taking and reward seeking behaviors. 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.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if epidural modulation targeting the Somato-Cognitive Action Network (SCAN) can improve motor symptoms in adults with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). It will also evaluate the safety of this treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does epidural modulation targeting …
Parkinson's disease (PD) is an age-related movement disorder with a complex pathophysiology. Among the risk factors for PD, variants in beta-glucocerebrosidase (encoded by the gene GBA1) represent one of the most significant heritable risk factors for lifetime PD risk. Biallelic variants in GBA1 cause Gaucher disease (GD), a multisystem disorder, …
The study aims to assess the effects of cardiovascular (aerobic) training on memory formation and cognitive function in people with Parkinson's disease. Participants will be randomly allocated to one of two groups either performing cardiovascular training (experimental group) or stretching (control group) for twelve weeks, three times a week. The …
Clozapine is a second generation antipsychotic drug used in psychiatry to treat schizophrenia, affective disorders or certain symptoms of dementia. In neurology, clozapine is frequently used and recommended to manage symptoms of psychosis associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). The risk of neutropenia or agranulocytosis associated with clozapine estimated at 1.3% …
This study aims to better understand how people with Parkinson's control reaching movements. Specifically, we are asking how these individuals respond to different environmental perturbations. Testing includes reaching movements made within a virtual reality set-up.
Determine clinical characteristics of parkinsonian patients in various stages of disease; Measure peripheral neurodegeneration, synaptic, and inflammation biomarkers in a population of parkinsonian patients at various stages of disease. Measure vesicular neurodegeneration, synaptic and inflammation biomarkers
People living with Parkinson's (PwP) rank balance problems amongst the most disabling symptom. Over time, balance function continues to decline and PwP go on to fall, affecting between 45-68% of PwP. Falling directly impacts upon the individuals' quality of life (QoL), as it prevents patients from doing everyday activities, and …
Patients with Parkinson's Disease will be studied before, during, and after a deep brain stimulation implantation procedure to see if the stimulation location and the size of the electrical field produced by subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS determine the degree to which DBS engages circuits that involve prefrontal cortex executive functions, …
This clinical trial study is conducted to detect the imaging characteristics of the patients with Parkinson's diseases (PD) by 7-Tesla (7T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
