Choice of Anesthesia in Microelectrode Recording Guided Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease
Subthalamic nucleus (STN)-deep brain stimulation (DBS) under general anesthesia has been applied to PD patients who cannot tolerate awake surgery, but general anesthesia will affect the electrical signal in microelectrode recording (MER) to some degree. This study is a prospective randomized controlled, noninferiority study, open label, endpoint outcome evaluator blinded, …
Influence of Glucose on Metabolism and Clinical Symptoms of Patients With Parkinson's Disease
Many patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) report an increased consumption of fast-acting sugars. This tendency to consume sweet, high-sugar foods occurs in some patients even before the onset of cardinal motor symptoms. Some recent studies have demonstrated that PD patients have an increased consumption of fast-acting carbohydrates compared to healthy …
Pilot Study of Open Label Homocysteine Management Therapy in Levodopa-treated Parkinson's Disease
This is a research study investigating elevated homocysteine in the blood of patients with Parkinson's disease who are currently receiving treatment with levodopa. We are evaluating if elevated homocysteine can be corrected using open label B vitamin therapy, as well as the impact of homocysteine levels on cognitive function.
Respiratory-gated Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Improving Apathy in Parkinson's Disease
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether 100HZ respiratory-gated vagus nerve stimulation (RAVANS) can improve the non-motor symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). It will also learn the safety of 100HZ RAVANS. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can 100HZ RAVANS improve apathy in …
The Safety, Tolerability and Preliminary Efficacy of NouvNeu001 for Early-onset Parkinson's Disease
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety of NouvNeu001 injection in Early-onset Parkinson's Disease (EOPD) patients. It will also learn about the effects of NouvNeu001 treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: What medical problems do participants have when transplanting NouvNeu001 into bilateral …
Prevalence and Characteristics of Restless Leg Syndrome in Thai Patients With Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by pathologic intraneuronal alpha-synuclein-positive Lewy bodies and neuronal cell loss. The cardinal clinical symptoms and signs of PD are bradykinesia, rigidity, tremor, postural instability, and freezing attacks. The prevalence of PD increases with age, affecting 1-2% of the population over the …
Molecular Imaging of Inflammation in Parkinson's Disease Using LPS and TSPO-PET/MR
It is not known what causes Parkinson's disease and what makes it worsen over time. Research conducted in the past few years has highlighted the possible role of inflammation on this process but its actual mechanisms are still obscure. In this study, the investigators aim to gain understanding on how …
Contribution of the Kinematic Theory in the Early Differential Diagnosis of the Parkinson's Disease
The working hypotheses are as follows: #1 The processing of performance signals by automated lognormal segmentation and the extraction of the parameters of interest will make it possible to distinguish groups of patients from healthy elderly subjects. #2 The three instrumental approaches will not have the same degree of reliability …
Cognitive Decline Following Deep Brain Stimulation: A DBS-fMRI Study
The objective of this research study is to understand how Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) targeting the subthalamic nucleus (STN) affects cognitive networks in the brain, potentially leading to cognitive decline in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD). A total of 55 participants with PD who have undergone DBS surgery will be …
An Open-label Study on the Clinical Efficacy of rTMS Intervention in PD
To demonstrate that intervention targeting the supplementary motor area (SMA) using precise navigation positioning can effectively improve motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease.
