The present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of opicapone in a real-world setting at centers for Parkinson's disease located in Italy.
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. …
This study explores the electrophysiological mechanisms underlying motor and non-motor fluctuations (NMF) in Parkinson's disease (PD), focusing on cortical and subthalamic dynamics during acute dopaminergic stimulation. PD is characterized by both motor symptoms and disabling non-motor symptoms-including neuropsychiatric fluctuations that remain poorly understood. While local field potentials (LFP) recorded from …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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; …
The objective of this observational study is to investigate whether non-invasive fundus retinal detection technology can be used for the early diagnosis of parkinson's disease (PD). It aims to answer the following primary questions: the sensitivity and specificity of non-invasive fundus retinal detection technology in the early diagnosis of PD; …
This clinical study, designed as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, aims to investigate if modulation of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) via its co-agonist D-serine has therapeutic benefits in Parkinson's disease (PD). All patients will receive both placebo and D-serine over different time periods during the study. Preclinical studies have shown …
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder commonly associated with gait disturbances, balance impairments, and freezing of gait, which significantly increase the risk of falls and reduce functional independence. Conventional physical therapy improves mobility in individuals with PD; however, persistent gait deficits often remain. Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS) is …
