Colonic Tissue Biopsy Detection of Phosphorylated Alpha-synuclein for Parkinson's Diagnosis or REM Sleep Behavior Disorder
The goal of this observational study is to learn whether tissue samples taken from the colon during routine colonoscopy can detect signs of Parkinson's disease or REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD). The main question it aims to answer is: Can doctors find a protein called alpha-synuclein in colon tissue samples …
Effects of Resistance and Aerobic Exercises on Walking and Sarcopenic Parameters in Parkinson's Disease
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of resistance and aerobic exercises on the following outcomes in patients with sarcopenic Parkinson's disease: Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), gait speed, Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), handgrip strength, Five-Times Sit-to-Stand Test, and MDS-UPDRS Part II scores.
SpiroGym App-Aided Cough Rehabilitation
The pilot study by Srp et al. (2021) proved that the SpiroGym app was feasible for supporting expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Two weeks of intensive EMST coupled with SpiroGym were sufficient to significantly improve the participants' voluntary peak cough flow (PCF). The improvement was …
DBS and Levodopa for Treating Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease
Freezing of gait (FoG) is a complex symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) that cause falls and disability in PD patients, heavily affect patients' autonomy and quality of life. Gait disturbances and FoG are difficult to manage as they usually do not complete respond to both dopaminergic treatment and subthalamic nucleus …
Efficacy of Acupuncture for the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease Related Constipation
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture in treating Parkinson's disease related constipation (PDC). In the randomized controlled clinical trial study, patients meeting the criteria for inclusion will be randomly enrolled and divided into two groups in a 1:1 ratio: the acupuncture group and the …
Effectiveness of Online Program and Task-related Training for Parkinson's Disease
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of online self-management program and on-site task-related training for people with early stage Parkinson's disease. people with early stage of Parkinson's disease (age range: 45-70 years) will be randomly assigned into the following three groups: control group, online self-management …
Cerebellar Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS) to Modulate Parkinson's Disease Tremor
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder characterized by different motor symptoms, including tremor, which is particularly difficult to manage. Common treatments, such as dopaminergic therapy, can have limitations in efficacy. Recent advancements in non-invasive brain stimulation, specifically phase-adaptive transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), offer a promising approach to …
Adaptive vs. Continuous Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease
The objective of the CLOSE-PD study is to compare the efficacy of adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) with continue deep brain stimulation (cDBS) in patients with Parkinson's disease. The main question it aims to answer is: \- whether the change in daily mean ON time without troublesome dyskinesia in aDBS …
Evaluating the Effect of Mirtazapine on Anxiety in Parkinson's Disease Patients
This study is a single-center, parallel and double-blind study in Movement Disorders Clinic of Shohadaye Tajrish Hospital. Patients, researchers (physicians, outcome assessors) and data analysts are blinded. After assessing the inclusion and exclusion criteria's, patients who assigned the informed consent form, are randomly divided into control and treatment groups.Patients in …
A Phase 2 Study of NEU-411 in Companion Diagnostic-Positive Participants With Early Parkinson's Disease
The goal of this Phase 2 clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of NEU-411 in men and women aged 40-80 years with early Parkinson's Disease (PD) who have predicted elevations in the activity of the "leucine-rich repeat kinase 2" ("LRRK2" for short) pathway based on their genetic …
