Mental Imagery on Upper Extremity Skills
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, characterized pathologically by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and clinically by the presence of motor symptoms such as bradykinesia, resting tremor, and/or rigidity. Among the motor deficits frequently observed in PD, patients are known to …
Research on the Brain Mechanism of taVNS in Regulating PD Motor Symptoms
This study is a double blind comparative study exploring the neural underpinnings of taVNS modulating PD motor deficits. We hypothesize that taVNS might improve PD motor deficits by regulating the balance between excitation and inhibition in the primary motor cortex.
Efficacy and Safety of Entacapone Combined With Madopar in the Treatment of Early Parkinson's Disease: An Observational, Multicenter, Case-Control Study
This observational, multicenter, case-control study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Entacapone combined with Madopar (levodopa/benserazide) in the treatment of early-stage Parkinson's disease (PD) among Chinese patients. The study will enroll patients diagnosed with PD according to the MDS criteria, aged 18-80, with modified Hoehn-Yahr stages 1-2.5, and …
Imaging Core Aim 2, and Udall Project 2 Aim 2
More than one million people in the United States have Parkinson's disease (PD) and the prevalence is expected to double by 2040. Over 60% of these individuals will develop debilitating postural instability and gait disturbances (PIGD), including freezing of gait (FOG). With disease progression, axial motor symptoms typically become resistant …
SL-START - SubLingual Apomorphine Schemes of TitrAtion in Real-world Treatment
The purpose of the study is to generate real-world evidence data for the on-demand treatment with SL-APO, focusing on understanding its usage and titration practices including individual dose determination after dose-adjustment to ultimately understand their influence in patient satisfaction, treatment persistence, and the balance between effectiveness and safety. The data …
Personalized Stimulation Loop for Neurorehabilitation in Parkinson: a Proof-of-principle Study
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects about 1% of the elderly population and accounts for substantial disability and health care costs. Disability is largely driven by mobility deficits caused by impaired gait. Effective treatments are available to restore lower limb function and improve gait, but response to …
Telerehabilitation Dual-Task Training for Parkinson's: A Multidimensional Evaluation
In this clinical study, the aim is to assess the effectiveness of telerehabilitation-based dual-task training in improving balance and gait function among individuals diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. Parkinson's Disease is characterized by motor symptoms such as tremors and slowness of movement, as well as cognitive impairments. While medical treatments help …
Adaptive DBS to Offset STN Dysregulation During Exercise in PD
The investigators conduct a prospective study to evaluate the effects of exercise on Parkinson's Disease brain biomarkers detected with the PerceptTM PC neurostimulator.
Step Up to PD: A Community-based Walking Program for People With Parkinson's Disease
This study will investigate the feasibility of a 6-month community walking program for people with Parkinson's disease (PD) and their care partners in greater Saint Louis, Missouri region. The walking program will consist of weekly, organized walking groups at the Missouri Botanical Gardens. Participants in the program will use Nordic …
Long-Term Behavioral and Cognitive Outcomes of Deep Brain Stimulation in Patients With Parkinson's Disease
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the long-term effect of DBS-STN on cognitive and behavioral outcomes in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. PD patients will be assessed over time using tests, questionnaires and standardized clinical scales. An initial assessment (T0) and annual follow-up assessments will be carried out …
