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 …
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 …
Serum Biomarkers in Parkinson's Disease at Different Stages
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
Online Motor Control in People With Parkinson's Disease
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.
Light Therapy Intervention in Individuals With Parkinson's Disease
The study looks to investigate the effects that light therapy delivered to the frontal cortex could have on Parkinson's disease related symptoms ( both cognitive and motor). The therapy is a non invasive technique that deliverers low level wavelength light to the front part of the head for 12 minutes. …
Genetics in Parkinson's Disease: Behavioral and Cognitive Outcomes
The genetic landscape of Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterised by rare high penetrance pathogenic variants causing familial disease, genetic risk factor variants driving PD risk in a significant minority in PD cases and high frequency, low penetrance variants, which contribute a small increase of the risk of developing sporadic PD. …
