Training of Nursing Home Professionals and Quality of Life of Residents With Parkinson's Disease
The complexity of medication treatments and the diversity of symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) require healthcare professionals to have specific knowledge of the disease in order to manage symptoms optimally and on an individualized basis. This becomes even more important as the disease progresses due to the evolution of symptoms …
Relationship Between Immunosuppressive Treatment Status and Clinical Course of Parkinson's Disease
The goal of this observational study is to learn if immunosuppressive drug treatment influences the clinical course of Parkinson's disease. Recent research suggests that Parkinson's disease may have an inflammatory background. Numerous studies have identified elevated levels of pro-inflammatory markers in people with Parkinson's disease. Therefore, immunosuppressive drugs may potentially …
Effect of a Vibrating Therapy Ball on Tremor and Daily Activities in Patients With Different Tremor Syndroms
Tremors, e.g. in patients with Parkinson's disease and essential tremor, are often pharmacoresistant, meaning that invasive treatment options such as deep brain stimulation are used at an early stage. Sufficient complementary non-pharmacological treatment alternatives do not yet exist. Patients with tremor are often severely restricted in their ability to carry …
Determination of the Minimal Detectable Change of the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-8
This study is conducted to determine how many units of improvement the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-8 (PDQ-8), used to evaluate the quality of life of Parkinson's patients, should have to express a significant change in the quality of life. Patients for whom a 30-session physiotherapy program is recommended will be included …
Research Into the Expression of the csgA-gene and How it Changes in Patients With Parkinson's Disease
This study seeks to understand the prevalence and variability of a gut bacteria gene called csgA in people with Parkinson's Disease. This understanding could inform development of potential new therapies targeting the gut in Parkinson's Disease.
Effectiveness of Cognitive Stimulation Treatment in Patients With Parkinson's Disease
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the relationship between GBA mutation and cognitive stimulation treatment response in patients with Parkinson's disease. The main questions it aim to answer are: • assess whether the GBA mutation is associated with greater or lesser response to cognitive training treatment compared …
To Evaluate the Dose-response Effects of a Defined Volume of Physical Exercise on the Change of Peripheral Biomarkers, Clinical Response and Brain Connectivity in Parkinson's Disease: a Prospective, Observational, Cohort Pilot Study
This is a prospective, observational, cohort pilot study of standardize volume of aerobic exercise on changes in BDNF concentration at 4-weeks of exercise training among Parkinson disease patients. Thirty (N=30) participants will be consecutively enrolled and assigned to 2 groups: 1) Extensive Rehabilitation Group (exercise volume: 180 METs-min/week) or 2) …
Study to Assess Real Life Effectiveness of Foslevodopa/Foscarbidopa in Adult German Participants at Initial Stages of Advanced Parkinson's Disease (EARLY-FOS)
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological condition, which affects the brain. PD gets worse over time, but how quickly it progresses varies a lot from person to person. Some symptoms of PD are tremors, stiffness, and slowness of movement. This study will assess how effective foscarbidopa/ foslevodopa is in treating …
Effect of Trunk Flexion on Airway Defense in Parkinson's Disease
The main mechanisms of airway protection include a properly functioning swallowing process and a cough. Studies focusing on patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) have previously demonstrated impairments in both swallowing (dysphagia) and coughing (dystussia). Aspiration pneumonia is the leading cause of death in individuals with PD. Swallowing function is directly …
The Relationship Between Upper Extremity Function and Balance and Functional Mobility in Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, affecting 2-3% of the population aged 65 and over, characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons. The basal ganglia play a significant role in the pathogenesis of PD. The lesions of the basal ganglia impair the ability of patients to …
