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 …
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% …
Upper Limb Rehabilitation in People With Parkinson's Disease:
This study evaluates the effectiveness of upper limb rehabilitation using an end-effector robotic device with exercises designed to improve movements, strength, and coordination of the shoulder, elbow, and wrist in patients with Parkinson's disease who have mild to moderate disability, compared to conventional rehabilitation treatment. The study protocol will involve …
Deep Brain Stimulation-Induced Mania in Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a common and debilitating neurodegenerative disease. While medication can alleviate its symptoms, not all patients will adequately respond to medical therapy. For these cases, deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been used to improve symptoms and quality of life. Nevertheless, this approach is, in some cases, associated …
Cortical Electrophysiology of Response Inhibition in Parkinson's Disease
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, …
Brain Training to Improve Balance in Parkinson's Disease
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 …
