Study on the Incidence of Malignant Neoplasms in Patients with Parkinson's Disease and Heterozygous Mutation of the GBA Gene
This multicenter retrospective observational study investigates the incidence of malignant neoplasms in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients carrying heterozygous pathogenic variants in the GBA1 gene. The study compares these patients to individuals with idiopathic PD and to the general population within a large national cohort. The rationale for the study lies …
Natural History Protocol for Movement Disorders
Background A movement disorder is a condition that causes a person s body to move in ways that are not normal. There are different types. Some disorders cause movements people can t control, such as tics or shaking. Some cause reduced or slow movements. Movement disorders can cause disability in …
Systematic Assessment of Laryngopharyngeal Function in Patients With MSA, PD, and 4repeat Tauopathies
This is a non-interventional observational study designed to systematically record the results of routine laryngeal examinations and specific characteristics of dysphagia in patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA), Parkinson's disease (PD) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and related 4repeat tauopathies. The results of a fiberoptic / flexible endoscopic evaluation of …
Abbott DBS Post-Market Study of Outcomes for Indications Over Time
The purpose of this international study is to evaluate long-term safety and effectiveness of Abbott deep brain stimulation (DBS) systems for all indications, including Parkinson's disease, essential tremor or other disabling tremor and dystonia.
Characterization of Patients With Uncommon Presentations and/or Uncommon Diseases Associated With the Cardiovascular System
Background Researchers are interested in studying individuals who have known or suspected metabolic or genetic diseases that put them at a high risk for heart diseases or diseases of their blood vessels. To improve the results of the study, both affected and nonaffected individuals will be asked to provide blood …
Clinical Applicantion of Multi-Tracer PET/MR Imaging in Neurological Disorders/Disease
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the application of domestic PET/MR in major brain diseases. The main questions it aims to answer are: Overcome the bottleneck of early accurate diagnosis and treatment in major brain diseases clinical practice. Promote the clinical application of domestic PET/MR, enhance …
Physiological Brain Atlas Development
The NIH grant has funded the development of a physiological brain atlas registry that will allow us to significantly improve the data collectioin and use of physiological data into a normalized brain volume. This initially was used to improve DBS implants for Parkinson's Disease, Dystonia, Essential Tremor, and OCD, but …
AI-Enhanced Optimization of Acute Levodopa Challenge Test
A quantitative evaluation method was developed for Parkinson's disease and other atypical parkinonism by integrating an innovative motor paradigm with perception technologies and artificial intelligence. Combined with traditional motor paradigms and the acute levodopa challenge test, this study aims to identify diagnostic cut-off values for PD and other atypical parkinonism, …
Longitudinal Cognitive Assessment by BoCA
The Boston Cognitive Assessment (BoCA) is a self-administered online test intended for longitudinal cognitive monitoring. BoCA uses random not-repeating tasks to minimize learning effects. BoCA was developed to evaluate the effects of treatment in longitudinal clinical trials and available gratis to individuals and professionals.
Modifiable Variables in Parkinsonism (MVP)
We are trying to identify factors associated with improved quality of life and fewer PD symptoms. We are attempting to identify practices, beliefs, and therapies used by individuals who report excellent quality of life, few PD symptoms, and reduced rates of progression. After agreeing to participate, we will ask participants …
