This is a phase I, interventional, single arm, open-label, clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the striatal transplantation of autologous induced neural stem cell-derived DA precursor cells in Parkinson's Disease patients.
Participants will be asked to walk along with the metronome beats (RAS) during the participants' stimulation state (ON or OFF) for four minutes for each state. The researcher will collect the gait parameters (cadence, velocity, and stride length) of patients before, during, and after RAS in both DBS ON and …
Previous work has shown that a statistical property of gait characterised by long-range autocorrelation functions is altered in Parkinson disease (PD). On the other hand it has been suggested that the same property is linked to the ability in healthy humans to co-regulate the amplitude and cadence of strides towards …
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 …
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.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer's disease (AD). Clinical manifestations of PD can vary, but a formal diagnosis relies on the presence of bradykinesia with rigidity and/or rest tremor according to Movement Disorder Society (MDS) criteria for PD. Non-motor symptoms, such as hyposmia, constipation, …
Postural instability is one of the cardinal signs in Parkinson's disease (PD). It represents one of the most disabling symptoms in the advanced stages of the disease. It is associated with frequent falls and loss of independence. The aim of the current study is to assess the long term efficacy …
At present, no drug therapy has been proven to delay the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). rTMS, as a non-invasive neuromodulation method, can regulate Slow-wave sleep (SWS). SWS is recognized closely related to neurodegeneration. However, there has been no clinical studies on if rTMS could delay the progression of PD …
Researchers are to determine if turning on an additional unilateral DBS (deep brain stimulation) electrode with stimulation to the globus pallidus externa (GPe) region of the brain will improve insomnia (sleep).
The primary objective of this substudy is to measure the concentration and the regional brain distribution of activated brain microglia/macrophages using the PET ligand \[18F\]DPA-714 in participants enrolled in the UAB Innate and Adaptive Immunity in Parkinson's Disease (Clinical Research Core) and Longitudinal \[18F\]DPA-714 Imaging in a Parkinson Disease Cohort …
