Evaluation of the Effects of Aquatic Therapy on Activities of Daily Living, Walking, Balance, Posture, Pain, and Depression in Parkinson's Patients
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor symptoms such as bradykinesia, tremors, and postural instability, as well as various non-motor symptoms. Conventional land-based rehabilitation is standard; however, aquatherapy-utilizing water's buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, and viscosity-offers a promising alternative to improve balance and mobility while reducing fall risks. …
Etoricoxib in Patients With Parkinsonian Disease
Neuroinflammation is considered one of the most important factors contributing critically to pathophysiology of PD . Recently, high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) protein has been encoded as a potential inflammatory biomarker in PD. HMGB1 mediates immune response mostly through endothelial cells and macrophage activation via targeting two vital cell receptors; …
Italian Translation and Validation of the GIDS-PD Scale for Parkinson's Disease
This study aims to translate and validate the Gastrointestinal Dysfunction Scale for Parkinson's Disease (GIDS-PD) into Italian to enable the assessment of gastrointestinal symptoms in Italian-speaking patients with Parkinson's disease. The psychometric properties of the translated instrument will be evaluated through a multi-phase process involving translation/back-translation, pre-testing, and large-scale validation …
Feasibility and Preliminary Effects of the Walking Tall App for Home-Based Gait Training in Parkinson's Disease: A Pilot Study
This is a pilot study designed to assess the feasibility, adherence, and preliminary effects of a 6-week home-based gait training intervention using the Walking Tall mobile app in individuals with Parkinson's disease. The app delivers rhythmic auditory cues and motivational verbal prompts to promote gait improvements. Primary outcomes include daily …
Effects of Vagal Nerve Stimulation on Leg Muscle Activity and Posture in Parkinson's Disease
This study is designed to better understand the mechanisms contributing to impaired activation of leg muscles in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) and to test if stimulation of a nerve at the neck can improve muscle activation, walking and balance.
Objective Mobility Assessment Using Wearable Technology for Clinical Application in Parkinson's Disease: From Validation to Fall Prediction
The main objective of this observational trial is to explore the validity and reliability of DANU smart socks when used for mobility assessments in people with Parkinson's. Using a series of laboratory gold standard equipment, this project aims to compare the metrics observed by DANU to the reference standards. No …
Evaluation of the Safety of Electrical Spinal Cord Stimulation in Parkinson's Patients Presenting With Painful Camptocormia
Camptocormia is defined by abnormal flexion of the trunk, not fixed, present when standing and walking, resolves when lying down and often complicated by lower back pain. It can be observed in numerous neurological pathologies with a prevalence ranging between 5 and 19% in Parkinson's disease. The physiopathology of camptocormia …
Detection of Internal Tremors by Oscillometry in Parkinson's Patient
The goal of the present study is to objectively access the presence of an Internal Tremor in Parkinson's disease. Inertial sensors will be used to detect the presence of a rhythmic oscillation of 3-4 Hz. The study will be performed in both Parkinson's disease patients and healthy controls to ascertain …
Impact of C-Mill Rehabilitation on the Gut-Brain Axis in Parkinson's Disease
The GM-REHAB-2025 study aims to evaluate the impact of physiotherapy interventions using the C-Mill treadmill, with and without semi-immersive virtual reality, on gut microbiota and metabolic parameters in patients with Parkinson's disease. Three groups will be involved: one undergoing conventional physiotherapy, one treated with the C-Mill without virtual reality (VR), …
TMS-related Measures as Biomarker of Cognitive Impairment in PD
The goal of the present study is to explore the diagnostic and prognostic value of neurophysiological biomarkers obtained through paired-pulse Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) techniques in individuals affected by Parkinson's disease (PD) with and without cognitive decline. The main questions it aims to answer are: TMS measures of cortical excitability …
