MK-0947 PN-002: An Open-label Study to Evaluate Brain α-synuclein Deposition Using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and [¹⁸F]MK-0947 in Participants With Parkinson's Disease (PD)
This is a single-center, open-label clinical study designed to evaluate alpha-synuclein (ASYN) deposition in the brain of participants with Parkinson's disease (PD), as compared with healthy elderly (HE) participants. Up to 18 participants (12 PD, 6 HE) are planned to be enrolled. Each participant will receive a single IV injection …
Wearable for Assessing Tremor and Continuous Health in Parkinson's Disease and Essential Tremor
This prospective observational study will examine tremor and upper-limb movement in adults with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor using non-invasive wearable sensors. Participants will attend one clinic visit and may then wear sensors at home for 3, 7, or 21 days. Clinic assessments will be scheduled around participants' usual medication …
Strength and Dual-Task on Sarcopenia in People With Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson´s disease and parkinsonian syndromes are associated with progressive motor and non-motor impairments that may compromise functional independence and quality of life. Sarcopenia, characterized by reduced muscle strength, muscle mass, and physical performance, is highly prevalent in these populations and may contribute to an increased risk of falls, frailty, and …
A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, PK, Safety, and Tolerability of VIM0423 in Adults With Parkinson's Disease Tremor Insufficiently Responsive to Dopaminergic Therapy
Vista PD is a randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy, PK, safety, and tolerability of VIM0423 in adults with Parkinson's disease tremor insufficiently responsive to dopaminergic therapy. The main objectives of this clinical trial are to determine the following: Does VIM0423 therapy improve tremor symptoms in adults with …
Bayesian Optimization of DBS for Gait
This project aims to establish the feasibility of Bayesian optimization for tuning deep brain stimulation (DBS) to treat gait symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Our primary question is: Can Bayesian optimization of DBS achieve reproducible results within a feasible number of gait measurements? PD patients will be enrolled who …
Acute Effects of Capacitive-Resistive Radiofrequency Therapy in People With Parkinson's Disease
This study will investigate the immediate and short-term effects of capacitive-resistive radiofrequency therapy (TECAR) applied to the lower limbs in people with Parkinson's disease. The main aim is to determine which of four different TECAR application protocols produces the greatest improvement in muscle stiffness and walking function. Twenty participants with …
Effects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)-Primed Self-controlled Practice in People With Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is commonly associated with impaired motor learning and reduced motivation, both of which can negatively influence rehabilitation outcomes. Prior cross-sectional evidence suggests that providing individuals with PD self-controlled access to training parameters enhances motor learning, increases motivation, and facilitates cognitive processing. However, the effects of self-controlled practice …
A 12-Week Study of Flexilev With the OraFID Device and App in Parkinson's Patients
Flexilev is a Parkinson's disease medicine made of small, dissolvable tablets containing low doses of levodopa and carbidopa, allowing doses to be adjusted in small, precise steps. OraFID is a new mechanical device that dispenses the exact number of tablets needed, with better than 99% accuracy, in amounts from 1 …
Comparison of Benzhexol and Procyclidine for Tremor in Tremor-Predominant Parkinson's Disease
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare benzhexol and procyclidine for improving tremor in adults with tremor-predominant Parkinson's disease who are taking levodopa. Researchers will compare the two medicines to determine whether benzhexol provides similar improvement in tremor to procyclidine and to assess their side effects. Participants will …
A Trial Investigating Lu AF28996 in Adults With Parkinson's Disease Who Have Motor Fluctuations
This trial will evaluate the effects of Lu AF28996 in adults with Parkinson's disease (PD) experiencing motor fluctuations despite optimized non-invasive symptomatic treatment. These are individuals with PD who take medications to control movement symptoms, such as slowness, stiffness, and tremor, but still experience periods of time when their medication …
