Characterizing the Pathophysiological Role of the Pallido-thalamocortical Motor Pathway in Parkinson's Disease.
When a patient gets DBS surgery, the neurosurgeon makes a hole in the skull through which they can put the DBS lead down in deep parts of the brain that help control movement. For this study, research participants will also have an ECoG strip put through the same hole (no …
Investigation of the Benefits of Electrical Non-invasive Stimulation on Cognitive Symptoms in Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. It is mostly characterized by the presence of motor difficulties. However, it can also be accompanied by cognitive disorders which have an equally significant impact on the quality of life of patients and which are not relieved by …
Cortical Correlates of Gait in Parkinson's Disease: Impact of Medication and Cueing
The purpose of the study is to determine the effects of a novel, personalized, tactile cueing system on gait automaticity. The researchers hypothesized that step-synchronized tactile cueing will reduce prefrontal cortex activity (improve automaticity) and improve gait variability (as well as gait speed). The researchers predict that improved automaticity with …
Acceptability of the Somnomat Casa for the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease
This pilot study aims to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of nocturnal translational vestibular stimulations (VS) applied by a rocking bed (Somnomat Casa) for two months in patients with Parkinson's Disease.
Pairing Subjective Patient Rating and DBS Programming
This multicenter, prospective and retrospective diagnostic study investigates personalized programming strategies for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with Parkinson's disease. DBS of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is an established therapy for advanced Parkinson's disease; however, optimization of stimulation parameters remains time-consuming and resource-intensive due to the growing complexity of …
Empower Your Mind to Embrace Your Life: an Online ACT Intervention for Young-Onset Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) has a substantial impact on daily life and significantly affects functioning, mental health and quality of life. Although considered a disease of the elderly, an early diagnosis is also common. Non-pharmacological interventions have been increasingly recommended for PD, including psychotherapy, with emerging evidence suggesting that Acceptance and …
TMS-related Measures as Biomarker of Cognitive Impairment in PD
The goal of the present study is to explore the diagnostic and prognostic value of neurophysiological biomarkers obtained through paired-pulse Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) techniques in individuals affected by Parkinson's disease (PD) with and without cognitive decline. The main questions it aims to answer are: TMS measures of cortical excitability …
Real-World Patient Experiences Using Continuous Subcutaneous Apomorphine Infusion (ONAPGOTM) in the United States:
Real-World Participants Experiences Using Continuous Subcutaneous Apomorphine Infusion (ONAPGOTM) in the United States: A Prospective, Phase 4, Multicenter, Observational Study in Parkinson's Disease
Italian Translation and Validation of the GIDS-PD Scale for Parkinson's Disease
This study aims to translate and validate the Gastrointestinal Dysfunction Scale for Parkinson's Disease (GIDS-PD) into Italian to enable the assessment of gastrointestinal symptoms in Italian-speaking patients with Parkinson's disease. The psychometric properties of the translated instrument will be evaluated through a multi-phase process involving translation/back-translation, pre-testing, and large-scale validation …
Upper Extremity Rehabilitation With Virtual Reality in Parkinson's Disease Patients
Upper extremities are the first part of the body to be affected by Parkinson's disease. Although studies have shown that virtual reality-assisted rehabilitation methods are effective on gait and balance, studies on their use for upper extremity rehabilitation are limited. For this reason, the aim of the project is to …
