Modulate Tremor Severity With Low-intensity Focused Ultrasound Stimulation Targeting the Deep Nucleus of Patients With Refractory Hand Tremor.
The study plans to recruit 12 patients with Parkinsonian tremor, essential tremor, or dystonic tremor. After receiving NaviFUS-ctbTUS stimulation, the improvement in their tremor will be recorded.
GBPDC: Gut-Brain in PD Consortium Master Protocol
The purpose of this research study is to identify the role that the gut-brain axis, the group of nerves that connect the brain and gut, plays in Parkinson's disease (PD). The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases is sponsoring this research study. During this study, specific groups …
Closed-loop TMS for Tremor
This study investigates the potential of phase-locked transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as a non-invasive intervention for tremor in patients with Essential Tremor (ET) and Parkinson's Disease (PD). Tremor is a prevalent symptom that significantly impacts physical function and social participation. ET affects approximately 1% of the global population and worsens …
Investigating Subcortical Contributions to Speech Sequencing in Deep Brain Stimulator Recipients
This study will examine how two important brain circuits - one involving the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and one involving the ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus (VIM) - contribute to learning and producing speech sequences. Participants will include two groups: 1. individuals with Parkinson's disease who have deep brain stimulation …
Effects of Microelectrode-based Brain Stimulation in Humans
The currently available treatments of Parkinson's disease (PD) and Essential Tremor (ET) are inadequate and accompanied by adverse side effects making the treatment much less effective. This includes treatments with pharmaceuticals as well as electrical brain stimulation (DBS; Deep Brain Stimulation). To address this challenge, we have systematically worked to …
Effects of Transcranial Focused Ultrasound Stimulation (tFUS) on Neurological and Cognitive Outcomes in Parkinson's Disease
This is a pilot randomized, sham-controlled, double-blind, multi-center study evaluating the safety and preliminary effectiveness of the Gen0Bh Transcranial Focused Ultrasound System for the treatment of motor symptoms in individuals with idiopathic Parkinson's disease.
Enabling Women with Parkinson's Disease to Identify and Better Manage Hormonal Triggers of Parkinsonian Symptoms
Forty percent of people living worldwide with Parkinson's disease (PD) are women. Twenty percent of patients have PD onset under the age of 60 years, a time when women may encounter significant caregiving responsibilities along with occupational and other competing demands. Studies with surveys of women with PD (WwPD) have …
Constant Current Versus Constant Voltage Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation in Patients with Parkinson's Disease
To compare the efficacy, programming burden, power consumption, and physicians' and patients' satisfaction between current mode and voltage mode of deep brain stimulation in each period one year after surgery.
Ginger-PD: Ginger as a Modifier of Ghrelin Levels and Gut Function in Parkinson's Disease
This study will test whether taking ginger supplements can increase ghrelin, a hunger hormone that is decreased in the blood of people with Parkinson's disease (PD) and REM Sleep Behaviour disorder (RBD). Three groups of participants are taking part: People with Parkinson's disease (PD); People with REM Sleep Behaviour Disorder …
Experimental Pain in Parkinsons
Study comparing pain intensity and discomfort in patients with Parkinson´s disease and healthy controls during inducement of mechanical, thermal, and chemical experimental pain
