Physical Training for People With Parkinson's Disease and Multiple Sclerosis: Effect on Mind and Body
People with Parkinson's disease and Multiple Sclerosis experience disabling motor and non-motor symptoms, which respond insufficiently to medication. To adequately alleviate disease burden, physical training is increasing acknowledged as an assisting therapy; however, the optimal dose of exercise in unknown.
Enabling Women with Parkinson's Disease to Identify and Better Manage Hormonal Triggers of Parkinsonian Symptoms
Forty percent of people living worldwide with Parkinson's disease (PD) are women. Twenty percent of patients have PD onset under the age of 60 years, a time when women may encounter significant caregiving responsibilities along with occupational and other competing demands. Studies with surveys of women with PD (WwPD) have …
Constant Current Versus Constant Voltage Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation in Patients with Parkinson's Disease
To compare the efficacy, programming burden, power consumption, and physicians' and patients' satisfaction between current mode and voltage mode of deep brain stimulation in each period one year after surgery.
Experimental Pain in Parkinsons
Study comparing pain intensity and discomfort in patients with Parkinson´s disease and healthy controls during inducement of mechanical, thermal, and chemical experimental pain
Effects Of Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine(OMM) On Lower Extremity Muscle Characteristics In Parkinson's Disease(PD) Patients
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects that Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine has on lower extremity muscle characteristics in PD. Muscle stiffness, range of motion, and gait will be measured. Participants will be asked to attend one in person session at the NYIT Academic Health Care Center. Participants …
Parkinsonism-Related Oscillations in the Cortico-Basal Ganglia-Thalamic Network During Movement: Beyond the Frequency Range
Expression of hypokinetic and hyperkinetic motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with pathological synchronous oscillations of neuronal activity (local field potential/LFP) in the cortico-subcortical network with a wide frequency range. In the present project, we propose to study cortico-subcortical oscillations and their synchronization in patients operated for PD …
rTMS Over the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex for the Treatment of Impulse Control Disorders in Parkinson's Disease
This study's objective is to evaluate the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) of patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) who experience impulse control disorders (ICDs) on impulse control symptoms and cognitive behaviors linked to ICDs: reinforcement learning and delay-discounting. This is a randomized …
Multimodal Image Technologies Investigate the Role and Mechanism of Probiotics in Improving RBD with Parkinson's Disease
Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is important non-movement feature, and also the important risk factor of Parkinson's disease (PD). In our previous work, we found that the movement features and RBD of PD patients improved after taking probiotics. The later was not reported before and the mechanism not …
Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery for Movement Disorders
Background Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an approved surgery for certain movement disorders, like Parkinson's disease, that do not respond well to other treatments. DBS uses a battery-powered device called a neurostimulator (like a pacemaker) that is placed under the skin in the chest. It is used to stimulate the …
Cortical-Basal Ganglia Speech Networks
In this research study the researchers want to learn more about brain activity related to speech perception and production.
