This Protocol is a Sub-study Under the PPMI Program. It is a Longitudinal, Single-center Study to Assess the Performance of [18F]AV-133 Imaging Using High and Standard Resolution PET in Individuals Enrolled With Parkinson's Disease (PD) for up to 12 Months.
The study is a longitudinal, single-center study to assess progression of \[18F\]AV-133 imaging in PD participants. Participants will be followed for up to 12 months. Approximately 45 PD participants and 5 healthy control participants will be recruited from the ongoing PPMI Clinical 002 study. Participants will be comprehensively assessed at …
Effect of Physical Activity on the Course of Parkinson's Disease in Patients With Bilateral DBS-STN Stimulation - a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Parkinson's disease is a common, progressive neurodegenerative disorder. The degeneration of dopaminergic neurons is associated with characteristic clinical symptoms such as tremor, rigidity, slowness of movement (bradykinesia) and postural instability. Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (DBS-STN) is a recognized and widely used method of treating advanced stages of Parkinson's disease. …
Combined STN and NBM Deep Brain Stimulation for Mild Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson's Disease
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a novel deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the Subthalamic Nucleus (STN) and Nucleus Basalis of Meynert (NBM) to treat cognitive and cognitive-motor symptoms in individuals with Parkinson's disease. The main question it aims to answer is: …
A Study Assessing the Effects of Acupuncture in Parkinson's Disease Patients With Chronic Appendicitis
The incidence of PD is high, and when the disease is serious to a certain extent, the effect of drugs to control symptoms decreases, resulting in a significant reduction in the quality of life of patients. Recent studies have found that these PD symptoms are closely related to the intestine. …
The Use of the CUE1/CUE1+ in People With Parkinson's Disease and Related Disorders
People with Parkinson's disease (PD) commonly experience a range of both motor (e.g., bradykinesia, rigidity, tremor, and postural instability) and non-motor (e.g., fatigue, psychiatric and behavioural disturbances, autonomic dysfunction, cognitive impairment, sleep dysfunction and olfactory loss) features. Currently, it is challenging to alleviate these symptoms with first-line treatment, the medications …
Moderate Versus High Volume Light-Moderate Intensity Exercise for People With Moderate Parkinson's Disease
Veterans with mid to later stage Parkinson's disease (PD) may not be able to work out as hard as they need to, to prevent brain cell loss. Maybe they could work out longer and more frequently to make up for this during their good times and good weeks and then …
Study of the Test-retest Reliability of the Neuropsychiatric Fluctuations Scale in Parkinson's Disease
This study focuses on neuropsychiatric fluctuations (NPF) in Parkinson's disease. Due to the lack of specific assessment tools, we developed the Neuropsychological Fluctuations Scale (NFS), a 20-item questionnaire. Recent studies have confirmed its reliability, sensitivity, and validity. To finalize its validation, assessing its test-retest reliability is an essential next step.
Perception of Affordances and Obstacle Crossing in People With Parkinson's Disease and Healthy Adults
This study aims to explore how young adults, older adults and people with Parkinson's disease (PwP), perceive their abilty to cross obstacles while walking, and how this perception is related to their actual performance of obstacle crossing and disease-related motor and cognitive impairments. The study will explore this percepeption and …
Application of Thoracic Epidural SCS for Managing FOG in Patients With Advanced Parkinson's Disease
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has proven to be effective for pain that is unresponsive to medication. This technique involves an anesthesiologist or a neurosurgeon placing stimulation electrodes at the thoracic vertebrae to provide pain relief. Although SCS is not currently a standard treatment for patients with Parkinson's disease, recent studies …
The Role of METhanogens in the PROgression Of Parkinson's Disease and Related Neurological Conditions
Gut problems, such as constipation, can have an important impact on quality of life of people who have them, and have been associated with higher risk of developing neurological diseases such as Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease. Recent studies suggest that gut problems may also have implications for the progression of …
