The primary goal of this clinical trail is to compare the effect of a five-week specific motor interventions on the postural alignment, trunk range of motion and spine function in patients with Parkinson's disease. The secondary goal is to investigate the effect of specific motor interventions on pain, balance, gait, …
The main objective of this longitudinal, multi-center study is to explore the clinical characteristics of PD and confirm biomarkers for PD evolution or progression.
The cardinal motor features of Parkinson's disease (PD) include bradykinesia, rest tremor, and rigidity. Though non-motor features have been recognized for centuries, only recently has the prevalence and impact of non-motor symptoms become the focus of intense study. Disturbances of sleep are among the most common non-motor manifestations of PD; …
Our goal is to better understand how DBS modifies local neuronal activity and to pioneer device technologies that can record local DBS-evoked potentials (DLEPs) to guide therapy. Our vision is for a patient's unique electrophysiology to guide both electrode targeting during surgery and programming in clinic, eventually as an integrated …
This protocol will characterize the effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) location (both adverse and beneficial) on motor signs in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). This information can be used to inform future DBS protocols to tailor stimulation to the specific needs of a patient. If targeted dorsal GP stimulation …
The trial will include 51 adult participants with Parkinson's disease and postural instability and gait disorders (PD-PIGD) and 20 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. At baseline (T0) patients will undergo neurological and cognitive/behavioural assessments, gait/balance evaluation, neuroimaging/neurophysiology assessments including brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) and …
Parkinson's can cause a wide range of non-motor symptoms (NMS), including pain and problems with mental health, memory and sleep. These affect the quality of life of people with Parkinson's (PwP) and their care partners (CP). If these issues are not recognised and managed quickly, they can result in escalating …
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Medtronic Adaptive DBS therapy (aDBS) for Parkinson's Disease in China with the Percept family of Implantable Neurostimulators (Percept PC and Percept RC).
The purpose of this study is to understand how a specific brain area, the Posterior Parietal Cortex (PPC), plays a role in movement transfer from walking on a split-belt treadmill (SBT) to walking on the ground in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD). Here, investigators will apply repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation …
This study aims to exploratorily evaluate the extent of motor and cognitive changes, as well as the safety, resulting from approximately 10 weeks of whole-body photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy (about three sessions per week, once daily, 20 minutes per session) in patients with Parkinson's disease.
