The study aims to investigate neural correlate of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) in Parkinson's disease (PD) and to identify a link between functional impairment (in both cognitive and motor domains) and electrophysiological cortical sing of MCI in PD. A sample of 42 subjects will be divide into three subgroup: healthy …
Investigation of tenapanor as a potential treatment for synucleinopathy-associated constipation
The pilot study by Srp et al. (2021) proved that the SpiroGym app was feasible for supporting expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Two weeks of intensive EMST coupled with SpiroGym were sufficient to significantly improve the participants' voluntary peak cough flow (PCF). The improvement was …
The goal of this observational study is to learn whether tissue samples taken from the colon during routine colonoscopy can detect signs of Parkinson's disease or REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD). The main question it aims to answer is: Can doctors find a protein called alpha-synuclein in colon tissue samples …
Both aging and Parkinson's disease (PD) negatively affect postural control and increase the risk of falls, with frontal plane balance being particularly challenging for these populations. While previous studies have mainly focused on sagittal plane balance, the contribution of hip abductor muscles remains unclear, especially regarding their force production and …
Parkinsonism, mainly caused by Parkinsons disease (PD), includes symptoms like tremors, stiffness, slow movements, and balance problems. These symptoms can make it hard for people to sleep well, which leads to a lower quality of life and can increase the risk of other health issues and cognitive decline. Osteopathic manipulative …
Multicenter controlled study of sleep disorders in isolated REM Behavior Disorder and Parkinson\'s disease (SOMPARK)
The present study is a proof-of-concept clinical trial to test the efficacy of low doses of a repurposed anti-epileptic drug (levetiracetam) in treating memory problems in Parkinson's disease (PD). Neuroimaging techniques will be used to determine the effect of the drug on specific brain regions (hippocampal subfields). Finally, baseline brain …
Parkinson's patients suffer from respiratory distress for different reasons. It is thought that physiotherapy methods that have an indirect effect on the diaphragm can improve respiratory functions. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of spinal mobilization and diaphragmatic breathing techniques on respiratory function.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the oral drug candidate EC5026 is safe and targets the correct pathways to treat Parkinson's Disease in adults. It will also learn about the levels of drug that are achieved in blood and in the fluid surrounding the brain (spinal …
