rTMS as an Intervention for Levodopa-induced Dyskinesia
The proposed study investigates the use of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a treatment for levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) in Parkinson's Disease (PD). Specifically, the study aims to determine whether patterned stimulation of the pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA) can delay the onset of LID after levodopa intake and reduce LID …
Low Voltage Electrical Stimulation for Depression in Parkinson's Patients
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the relative efficacy of fMRI model guided Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (mgTDCS) in improving the depressive symptoms of patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1) Can the use of mgTDCS significantly improve the self-reported …
Effect of Mediterranean Diet on Nutrition in Parkinson's Disease Patients With Bilateral Subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether Mediterranean diet can help manage body weight and improve body composition in adult Parkinson's disease patients who have undergone bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN DBS). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does adherence to the Mediterranean …
Feasibility Study Assessing the Effect of Carbidopa/Levodopa Ratio on Orthostatic Hypotension in Multiple System Atrophy - Parkinsonian Type and Parkinson Disease.
This study is aimed at patients with multi-system atrophy - parkinsonian type (P-MSA) or Parkinson's disease (PD) receiving dopaminergic drugs and suffering from orthostatic hypotension (OH). OH is a drop in blood pressure when standing, which can lead to symptoms of dizziness, lightheadedness, a black veil in front of the …
Percept Transitions in FOG and PD
The purpose of this research is to examine the possible causes and signs of freezing of gait (FOG) secondary to Parkinson's disease (PD). To achieve this, the study will use the novel (on-label and FDA-approved) local field potential (LFP) measuring capability of the Medtronic Percept™ deep brain stimulation (DBS) system …
Safety and Tolerability of Patterned Stimulation for DBS in the Home Setting
The primary objective of the proposed pilot study is to assess the safety and tolerability of active patterned Deep Brain Stimulation (pDBS) when administered in a home setting for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) who have had stable bilateral Subthalamic Nucleus (STN) and Globus Pallidus internus (GPi) DBS.
Pharmacologically Modulating the Noradrenergic Arousal System to Reduce Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease: a Multi-centre and Multi-modal Approach
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the medication atomoxetine can reduce freezing of gait in people with Parkinson's disease. The main questions it aims to answer is: Does atomoxetine reduce the frequency or severity of freezing of gait? What role does noradrenaline play in freezing of …
Impact of Frequency-specific Subthalamic Nucleus Subregion Stimulation on Inhibitory Control in Parkinson's Disease
The core symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) include both motor and non-motor symptoms. Cognitive impairment is one of the most common non-motor symptoms in PD patients, with approximately 30% of patients exhibiting cognitive dysfunction at diagnosis and up to 80% eventually progressing to dementia. Among these, impairment of inhibitory control …
Developing Precision Microbiota-Based Cocktail Modification Therapy to Delay the Progression of Parkinson's Disease (PD) - Use Preclinical Human Trials to Confirm the Impact of the Optimal "Probiotic Y7, Tryptophan and Branched-chain Amino Acid" Cocktail Formula on Early Stage PD Patients
Preclinical human trials will be utilized to validate the research direction, followed by clinical trials to assess the impact of a cocktail formula product containing the optimal probiotic Y7 combined metabolites on motor, cognitive, and non-motor functions in early Parkinson's disease patients. The study aims to recruit 120 patients (stage …
Neural Mechanisms of Aerobic Exercise Benefits in PD With DBS
This study is focused on people with Parkinson's disease who already have deep brain stimulation devices. The goal is to understand how aerobic exercise, specifically forced vs voluntary cycling, affects movement, thinking, and brain activity in these individuals. Parkinson's disease is a progressive condition that impacts both movement and cognitive …
