Pain in Parkinson's Disease: Exploration of the Serotonin System in Positron Emission Tomography (PET [18F]-MPPF)
This project will explore the involvement of the serotonin system in the pathophysiology of PD-related central pain. Thus, the serotonin system will be evaluated in PD patients with and without central pain who will benefit from brain positron emission tomography (PET) allowing in vivo imaging of 5HT1A receptors and multimodal …
Occupational Therapy Led Social Prescription for People With Parkinson Disease
Loneliness is an epidemic that the U.S. Surgeon General implored must be addressed by society as a whole. Increased loneliness (i.e., distressing feelings of isolation) in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) has a pervasive impact and is associated with worsened motor and non-motor symptoms, and quality of life. The investigators …
The Effects of 24-Weeks Community-based Brisk Walking in People With Parkinson's Disease
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate if brisk walking can improve walking function in people with Parkinson's disease and what kind of brisk walking intervention that is most effective. The main questions are: If brisk walking can reduce self-perceived walking difficulty What type of exercise intervention is …
First-in-Human Single and Multiple Dose of HL-400
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation study in healthy subjects to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics of HL-400 (a NLRP3 inhibitor) following oral single and multiple ascending dose administration.
Cognitive-motor Training in Parkinson Disease
Literature reviews showed the cognitive-motor training that combines cognitive tasks may enhance cognitive functions more effectively than individual interventions. Stepping-based cognitive-motor training has been shown to improve cognitive functions, balance, and gait performance in older adults. However, there is insufficient research evidence on the impact and correlation of this training …
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 …
Effects of Magnetic Stimulation of the Dorsal Spinal Cord on Gait in Patients With Parkinson´s Disease and Deep Brain Stimulation
Gait disorders are symptoms that significantly compromise the quality of life and functionality of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). When they are not responsive to drug dopaminergic therapy and deep brain stimulation (DBS), the management of these symptoms is a challenge in clinical practice. Although deep brain stimulation is useful …
Role of Silymarin in Neuroprotection and Symptom Management in Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a leading neurodegenerative movement disorder, marked by a gradual loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) and the accumulation of α-synuclein protein aggregates. Silymarin, a polyphenolic flavonoid renowned for its potent antioxidant properties, will be studied for its neuroprotective effects in PD.
To Evaluate the Efficacy of CVN424 in Parkinson's Disease Participants With Motor Complications
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study in participants with Parkinson's disease (PD) with motor fluctuations. Participants will be randomized to receive once-daily oral doses of either 75 milligrams (mg) CVN424 or 150 mg CVN424, or a matching placebo for 12 weeks. Participants who successfully complete this study and …
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 …
