AR Stimulation Effects on Gait, Anxiety, and Brain Connectivity in Parkinson's Disease
A project aims at addressing gait impairments and non-motor symptoms such as anxiety and stress in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients through a novel approach involving heart rate variability (HRV) feedback and Augmented Reality (AR) training. The project is based on the premise that improving HRV, which reflects the adaptability of …
A Study of the Efficacy of IAMT as an Assessment Tool for Prediction of Progression of Parkinson's Disease
The primary objective of this proposal is to examine the efficacy of Improvised Active Music Therapy (IAMT) sessions as an early novel tool for cognitive and motor assessment for individuals with Parkinson's Disease (PD) in neurological rehabilitation. This will be achieved by identifying subtle variations in how participants play music …
Endurance Exercise & Virtual Reality for Optimizing Cortical Excitability and Neuroplasticity in PD
This study aims to determine the effects of aerobic exercise as a primer to add-on virtual reality (VR)-based rehabilitation on balance, postural control and neuroplasticity (ability of brain to adapt in structure and function) in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). This study will utilize two groups - one group will …
Apathy in Parkinson Disease TMS Study
The goal of this clinical trial is to develop non-invasive brain stimulation targets for the treatment of apathy, or motivation problems, in Parkinson Disease. The main questions the study aims to answer are: Does transcranial magnetic stimulation change effort task performance in Parkinson's Disease patients? Is there a link between …
Effect of Speech Therapy in Combination With Non-invasive Brain Stimulation on Speech of Patients With Parkinson's Disease
Up to 90% of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) have hypokinetic dysarthria (HD) in the early phase of the illness. HD is characterized by a harsh breathy voice quality, reduced variability of pitch and loudness and imprecise articulation. This project investigates the novel combination of speech therapy and home-based non-invasive …
Continuous Electrical Neuromodulation of the Globus Pallidus Intern in Parkinson's Disease by the Directional Electrode CARTESIA™
Many patients have benefited from the implantation of brain stimulation electrodes for the treatment of various motor signs of Parkinson's disease in the phase of motor fluctuations. This technique has significantly improved the motor symptomatology of Parkinson's disease and the dyskinesias induced by pharmacological treatment. Technological advances in the field …
Evaluation of a Decision Aid for Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery for Parkinson's Disease
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a Decision Aid can help patients with Parkinson's disease make a decision about undergoing Deep Brain Stimulation surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the Decision Aid acceptable to patients with Parkinson's disease considering Deep Brain Stimulation …
Robotic Apparel to Prevent Freezing of Gait in Parkinson Disease
Freezing-of-gait (FoG) in Parkinson Disease (PD) is one of the most vivid and disturbing gait phenomena in neurology. Often described by patients as a feeling of "feet getting glued to the floor," FoG is formally defined as a "brief, episodic absence or marked reduction of forward progression of the feet …
Acupuncture and Moxibustion for Motor Symptoms in Early Parkinson's Disease
This study evaluates the clinical effect and safety of acupuncture combined with moxibustion in improving motor symptoms of early-stage Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients, by assessing the changes in UPDRS scores. It also explores objective factors affecting the acupuncture effect and investigates the functional MRI mechanisms of acupuncture in PD treatment.
Effect of Vitamin D3 Supplementation on Cardiac Autonomic Nerve Function in Male Parkinson's Disease Patients With Hypovitaminosis D
The goal of this clinical trial is to see the effect of vitamin D3 supplementation on cardiac autonomic nerve function in male Parkinson's disease patients with hypovitaminosis D Main questions it aims to answer are: Does vitamin D improves heart rate variability(HRV) in male Parkinson's disease patients ? Does vitamin …
