Serum Biomarkers in Parkinson's Disease at Different Stages
Determine clinical characteristics of parkinsonian patients in various stages of disease; Measure peripheral neurodegeneration, synaptic, and inflammation biomarkers in a population of parkinsonian patients at various stages of disease. Measure vesicular neurodegeneration, synaptic and inflammation biomarkers
Brain Training to Improve Balance in Parkinson's Disease
People living with Parkinson's (PwP) rank balance problems amongst the most disabling symptom. Over time, balance function continues to decline and PwP go on to fall, affecting between 45-68% of PwP. Falling directly impacts upon the individuals' quality of life (QoL), as it prevents patients from doing everyday activities, and …
Brain Mechanisms of Social Perception in Parkinson's Disease
Social cognition is a complex process that enables humans to interpret social information and behave appropriately in a social environment. Social cognition can be impaired in Parkinson's disease patients, worsening quality of life and relationships with those around them, even at an early stage. These alterations are manifested in particular …
Integrating AI in Postural Rehabilitation for Parkinson's Disease
Postural abnormalities are highly disabling complications of Parkinson's disease (PD). These include camptocormia, anterocollis, and Pisa Syndrome (PS). PS is characterized by a lateral trunk flexion (LTF) typically exceeding 10 degrees, often accompanied by axial rotation, asymmetric shoulder positioning, and poor awareness of the postural alteration. This condition worsens during …
Light Therapy Intervention in Individuals With Parkinson's Disease
The study looks to investigate the effects that light therapy delivered to the frontal cortex could have on Parkinson's disease related symptoms ( both cognitive and motor). The therapy is a non invasive technique that deliverers low level wavelength light to the front part of the head for 12 minutes. …
Biodex Balance System in Patients With Parkinson's Disease
Conventional balance exercises are an effective rehabilitation method applied in routine rehabilitation programs for Parkinson's patients. With technological developments, balance exercises
Upper Limb Rehabilitation in People With Parkinson's Disease:
This study evaluates the effectiveness of upper limb rehabilitation using an end-effector robotic device with exercises designed to improve movements, strength, and coordination of the shoulder, elbow, and wrist in patients with Parkinson's disease who have mild to moderate disability, compared to conventional rehabilitation treatment. The study protocol will involve …
Blood Flow Restriction and Exercise in Parkinson's Disease
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether training with blood flow restriction (BFR), combined with aerobic exercise (performing stepping on a Nu-Step exercise machine), can help improve mobility and other outcomes in people with progressed Parkinson's disease, compared to aerobic exercise alone. The investigators hypothesize that training …
Cortical Electrophysiology of Response Inhibition in Parkinson's Disease
Patients with Parkinson's Disease will be studied before, during, and after a deep brain stimulation implantation procedure to see if the stimulation location and the size of the electrical field produced by subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS determine the degree to which DBS engages circuits that involve prefrontal cortex executive functions, …
Parkinson's Disease and Gamma-transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation
Cortical-basal ganglia gamma oscillations are pathologically reduced in Parkinson's disease (PD) and the plasticity of the primary motor cortex (M1) is impaired. Enhancing gamma oscillations through transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), a non-invasive neurophysiological tool that modulates cortical rhythms, can restore this alteration. However, whether tACS-related normalization of M1 plasticity …
