Digital App for Speech & Health Monitoring
Many people living with neurodegenerative conditions like dementia, motor neuron disease (MND), multiple sclerosis (MS), and Parkinson's disease (PD), suffer from speech problems. Using common digital technologies such as smartphone apps, the investigators can record and analyse speech in detail to provide new information for people living with these conditions, …
18F-mFBG Cardiac Uptake With Lewy Body Dementia
This is a Phase 2 study evaluating the positron-emitting radiopharmaceutical 18F-mFBG as an imaging agent for quantification of the effect of neurodegenerative diseases on myocardial sympathetic innervation. Effectiveness of 18F-mFBG imaging of the heart will be judged in terms of the quantitative difference between results for subjects with Lewy body …
PET Imaging of Cyclooxygenases in Neurodegenerative Brain Disease
Background About 5 million adults in the U.S. have Alzheimer s disease or another adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder. Many studies have found that inflammation in the brain contributes to these diseases. Researchers want to find a better way to measure this inflammation. Objective To learn whether COX-1 and/or COX-2 is elevated …
Assessment of the Rehabilitative Effects of Curved-walking Training in Stroke, Parkinson and Orthopaedic Populations
The recovery of walking ability is crucial to promote independence in daily living and is one of the major goal of neuromotor rehabilitation. Currently, standard rehabilitative programs are usually based on straight-walking training (SWT) and the assessment of their effects is performed through functional scales based on straight-walking trajectories, e.g. …
Facilitating Diagnostics and Prognostics of Parkinsonian Syndromes Using Neuroimaging
The goals of this study are: 1) to identify biomarkers using neuroimaging that are associated with progression rate using statistical methods, and 2) to identify biomarkers that are associated with the differential diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and atypical parkinsonism.
Intestinal Immunity in Neurologic Disease
The purpose of this study is to ascertain the functional profiles of the immune cells within the gastrointestinal tract and to determine how these cells contribute to autoimmune and neurologic diseases.
Individualized Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Parkinsonian Disorders
This clinical trial aims to evaluate whether individualized targeted repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve motor and non-motor symptoms in patients with parkinsonian disorders. The main question it aims to answer is: Does individualized targeted rTMS alleviate symptoms of parkinsonian disorders? Which clinical manifestations of parkinsonian syndromes are responsive …
Tributyrin for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP): Virtual Trial
This research is studying a supplement called tributyrin in people with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) to learn about its safety and tolerability as a potential treatment. The goal of this research study is to see if a similar supplementation regimen and virtual testing is feasible for people with PSP.
Exploring the Possible Beneficial Impact of Non-invasive and Invasive Neuromodulation on Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease During Different Ambulatory Complexities: An Electrophysiological and fMRI Study
Freezing of gait (FOG) stands out as a devastating symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), where patients may become momentarily glued to the ground, rendering them incapable of walking efficiently. The pathogenesis of FOG remains uncertain but is likely attributed to functional perturbations in superficial cortical and deep locomotion regions. FOG …
Sonification Techniques for Gait Training
Music therapy is widely used in relational and rehabilitation settings. In addition to Neurologic Music Therapy and other music-based techniques, "sonification" approaches were recently introduced in the field of rehabilitation. The "sonification" can be defined as a properly selected set of sonorous-music stimuli are associated with patient movements mapping. In …
