Role of Silymarin in Neuroprotection and Symptom Management in Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a leading neurodegenerative movement disorder, marked by a gradual loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) and the accumulation of α-synuclein protein aggregates. Silymarin, a polyphenolic flavonoid renowned for its potent antioxidant properties, will be studied for its neuroprotective effects in PD.
Visuomotor Control in Parkinson Disease
Visuomotor processing is the ability to integrate visual information into motor plans and movement correction, which is highly required in daily activities such as writing and walking. As visual impairments have been reported in people with Parkinson's disease (PD), it is likely that those impairments may affect visuomotor processing ability …
Robotic Apparel to Prevent Freezing of Gait in Parkinson Disease
Freezing-of-gait (FoG) in Parkinson Disease (PD) is one of the most vivid and disturbing gait phenomena in neurology. Often described by patients as a feeling of "feet getting glued to the floor," FoG is formally defined as a "brief, episodic absence or marked reduction of forward progression of the feet …
Effect of Vitamin D3 Supplementation on Cardiac Autonomic Nerve Function in Male Parkinson's Disease Patients With Hypovitaminosis D
The goal of this clinical trial is to see the effect of vitamin D3 supplementation on cardiac autonomic nerve function in male Parkinson's disease patients with hypovitaminosis D Main questions it aims to answer are: Does vitamin D improves heart rate variability(HRV) in male Parkinson's disease patients ? Does vitamin …
Pain in Parkinson's Disease: Exploration of the Serotonin System in Positron Emission Tomography (PET [18F]-MPPF)
This project will explore the involvement of the serotonin system in the pathophysiology of PD-related central pain. Thus, the serotonin system will be evaluated in PD patients with and without central pain who will benefit from brain positron emission tomography (PET) allowing in vivo imaging of 5HT1A receptors and multimodal …
Apathy in Parkinson Disease TMS Study
The goal of this clinical trial is to develop non-invasive brain stimulation targets for the treatment of apathy, or motivation problems, in Parkinson Disease. The main questions the study aims to answer are: Does transcranial magnetic stimulation change effort task performance in Parkinson's Disease patients? Is there a link between …
Continuous Electrical Neuromodulation of the Globus Pallidus Intern in Parkinson's Disease by the Directional Electrode CARTESIA™
Many patients have benefited from the implantation of brain stimulation electrodes for the treatment of various motor signs of Parkinson's disease in the phase of motor fluctuations. This technique has significantly improved the motor symptomatology of Parkinson's disease and the dyskinesias induced by pharmacological treatment. Technological advances in the field …
AV133 Longitudinal Imaging Study in Patients With Early and Prdromal Parkinson's Disease
A total of 38 patients with early-stage Parkinson's disease and 38 patients with prodromal Parkinson's disease are planned to be enrolled in this study and examined for longitudinal changes in \[18F\]AV-133 through follow-up, thereby informing the design of future therapeutic trials utilizing \[18F\]AV-133 as a marker of disease progression.
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 …
The Relationship Between Upper Extremity Function and Balance and Functional Mobility in Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, affecting 2-3% of the population aged 65 and over, characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons. The basal ganglia play a significant role in the pathogenesis of PD. The lesions of the basal ganglia impair the ability of patients to …
