The goal of this study is to see how well therapy with the Eksobionic Exoskeleton (Esko) works for people with Parkinson's disease (PWPD). Esko is a robotic device that provides high repetition and intensity training. The investigators will examine its impact on walking, balance, and quality of life before, during …
Physical therapy approaches for balance and walking deficits in Parkinson's disease (PD) have limited effectiveness, with mostly short-lasting benefits. An exoskeleton is a device that straps to the legs and provides a passive force to assist people to better ambulate. The goal of this study is to establish the feasibility …
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of IPX203 (Crexont®) - the newest extended-release levodopa formulation - on the duration and quality of good on time, using a wearable device to monitor symptoms. 'Good on time' refers to a period (minutes to hours) when a patient experiences …
Study BRT-DA01-301 is a Phase 3 multicenter, randomized, sham surgery-controlled, double-blind study to assess efficacy and safety of bemdaneprocel in approximately 102 adults with Parkinson's Disease (PD).
Tremors, e.g. in patients with Parkinson's disease and essential tremor, are often pharmacoresistant, meaning that invasive treatment options such as deep brain stimulation are used at an early stage. Sufficient complementary non-pharmacological treatment alternatives do not yet exist. Patients with tremor are often severely restricted in their ability to carry …
This study is conducted to determine how many units of improvement the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-8 (PDQ-8), used to evaluate the quality of life of Parkinson's patients, should have to express a significant change in the quality of life. Patients for whom a 30-session physiotherapy program is recommended will be included …
The investigators propose a Phase I single surgical-center, double-blinded randomized parallel clinical trial involving bilateral autologous peripheral nerve tissue (PNT) delivery into the NBM or the alternate target also affecting cognition in this population, the substantia nigra (SN), to address "repair cell" support of these areas. Twenty-four participants with idiopathic …
This is a prospective, observational, cohort pilot study of standardize volume of aerobic exercise on changes in BDNF concentration at 4-weeks of exercise training among Parkinson disease patients. Thirty (N=30) participants will be consecutively enrolled and assigned to 2 groups: 1) Extensive Rehabilitation Group (exercise volume: 180 METs-min/week) or 2) …
At present, there is no cure for Parkinson's disease. The standard treatment involves taking dopaminergic drugs. When drugs lose their effectiveness, they can be supplemented by Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) therapy. Medication and deep brain stimulation are effective for motor problems such as tremors, slowness of movement, and muscle stiffness. …
The investigators hypothesize that multi-session anodal tDCS (atDCS) of the left primary motor cortex (M1) will induce long-lasting effects in improving motor function and reducing motor fatigue and fatigability in PD patients.
