LFP-based Parameter Prediction in DBS for Parkinson's Disease
The goal of this observational study is to assess whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) contact selection in Parkinson's disease could be informed by subcortical local field potential (LFP) recordings. The main question it aims to answer is: Aligns stimulation contact selection based on subcortical LFP recordings with clinically optimized contact …
Patient-Specific 3D Action Observation Training in Parkinson's Disease
Although studies exist demonstrating the effects of single-session action observation training on bradykinesia in patients with Parkinson's disease, research investigating the long-term application of such training remains limited. Furthermore, the broader literature indicates that action observation training has typically been conducted in simulated environments or by using recordings obtained from …
Expiratory Muscle Strength Training for People With Parkinson's Disease
This study is a Post-Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) randomized controlled trial of a CE-marked device used in routine clinical practice. The goal of this study is to investigate whether Expiratory Muscle Strength Training (EMST) improves voice, speech, breathing, and swallowing function in people with Parkinson's disease. The research questions are: …
SAD Study in Patients With Parkinson's Disease and Motor Fluctuations
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose (SAD) study of SER-252 in participants with Parkinson's Disease (PD) and motor fluctuations.
Pain and Autonomic Symptoms in Parkinson's Disease and Atypical Parkinsonisms
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the impact of the different types of pain and of the domains involved in the autonomic disorders of inpatients and outpatients diagnosed with Parkinson disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) admitted to Istituti Clinici Scientifici Maugeri Centers. The main …
Distinguishing Between Alzheimer's Disease, Lewy Body Dementia, and Parkinson's Disease
The study is designed to characterize the clinical, neuropsychological, polysomnographic, and neuroimaging findings among subjects with Alzheimer's disease, Lewy Body dementia, and Parkinsons' Disease.
Adaptive Neurostimulation to Restore Sleep in Parkinson's Disease (Aim 2)
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is the second most common of the age-related neurodegenerative disorders, affecting over 1,900 adults per 100,000 over the age of 80 in the US. The prevalence of sleep dysfunction in PD is estimated at nearly 80-90% which includes sleep fragmentation, insomnia, rapid eye movement (REM or dream …
Effect of Trunk Flexion on Airway Defense in Parkinson's Disease
The main mechanisms of airway protection include a properly functioning swallowing process and a cough. Studies focusing on patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) have previously demonstrated impairments in both swallowing (dysphagia) and coughing (dystussia). Aspiration pneumonia is the leading cause of death in individuals with PD. Swallowing function is directly …
Remote Mental Practice for Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease
This single-blind, randomized controlled trial investigates the effects of a remotely delivered intervention based on mental practice (MP) combined with physical practice (PP) on freezing of gait (FOG) severity in people with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). Fifty participants will be randomly assigned to either the experimental group (MP + PP) …
Dyadic Mindfulness for People With Parkinson's Disease and Their Caregivers
The proposed two-arm randomized waitlist-controlled trial will use a mixed-methods design to investigate the effects of dyadic mindfulness on physio-psycho-spiritual outcomes in people with Parkinson's Disease (PwPD) and their family caregivers. One hundred Chinese patient-caregiver dyads will be randomized to receive eight weekly 90-minute dyadic mindfulness sessions or usual care. …
