Neural Control of Breathing in Parkinson's Disease
Breathing is a complex process, which can be controlled through voluntary command or neural control. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder. Many individuals with PD experience respiratory problems, such as coughing difficulties or shortness of breath. Changes in neural control of breathing could be part of the reason …
The GBA Multimodal Study in Parkinson's Disease
This study plans to analyze the molecular and clinical mechanisms of the relationship between the GBA mutations and Parkinson's disease. This will be assessed through the use of advanced neuroimaging techniques called PET (positron emission tomography) to study the accumulation of the tau protein and the dysfunction of acetylcholine and …
Neurophysiology of Reward Signaling in Parkinson's Disease
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.
SCAN Targeted Epidural Modulation for 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 …
Motor and Cognitive Exercise in Parkinson's Disease.
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. …
Balance Confidence and Kinesiophobia in Parkinson's Disease
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 …
Physical Activity in Persons With Parkinson's Disease
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 …
Exploring the Effects of Exercise on Memory and Cognition in Parkinson´s Disease
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-related Immunodeficiency in Parkinsons Disease
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% …
Development of Digital Diagnostic Devices for Parkinson's Disease
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 …
