The investigators have recently discovered a metabolic biomarker which predicts Parkinson's disease (PD) at the early stages in patients and in animal models. The aim of BIOPARK is to investigate how the biomarker evolves in advanced PD stage, when diagnosis confirmation is higher, an in de novo PD patients who …
The concept of "Microbiota-gut-brain axis" has long been elucidated. However, only few microbiota-related radionuclide imaging studies have been published. The etiology of physiologic bowel FDG uptake is not fully understood. Some previous studies suggested that bacteria play a role in accumulating FDG and the variability of intestinal FDG activity may …
The aim of this study is to assess the safety and the potential efficacy of personalized Local Field Potential (LFP)-based adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation (aDBS), using the implantable pulse generator (IPG) of the "AlphaDBS" System, in Parkinson's Disease patients, chronically implanted in subthalamic nucleus (STN) for DBS.
There is increasing evidence that the usage and delivery of energy to the brain, known as brain energetics, is altered in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). This project will explore whether exercise has a positive impact on brain energetics using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) …
This study aims to investigate the possible efficacy and safety of synbiotic preparation of Lactobacillus acidophilus probiotic with prebiotic fibers as an adjuvant therapy in the treatment of Parkinson's disease
Observational, prospective, monocentric study to assess clinical features, imaging and biologic biomarkers in Parkinson disease (PD) patients and rate of progression compared to healthy controls (HC) and subjects at risk to develop PD. The primary objective of this study is to identify clinical, imaging and biologic markers of PD onset …
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, fixed-dose study in patients with a diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease consistent with the UK Parkinson's Disease Society (UKPDS) Brain Bank diagnostic criteria, who are experiencing wearing off symptoms and levodopa-induced dyskinesia.
This study will help us better understand how the brain works in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). PD is a brain disease that gets worse over time, and affects over 10 million people world-wide. A common treatment for PD is Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). To improve DBS therapy for PD, …
The investigators are investigating the brain activity associated with sensory information in movement disorders in order to improve treatment of these symptoms beyond what is currently available.
PARKINSUN is a new communication aid tool, expected to favor global patient centered care for PD patients during consultation with GPs and neurologists. Two groups of patients will be randomized to use or not PARKINSUN when they consult their physicians every 3 months during 7 months.
