CsDCS on Functional Mobility in Parkinsons Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive neurological disorder marked by a decline in the efficacy of dopaminergic synapses in the nigrostriatal pathway, causing motor disturbances. Resting tremor, bradykinesia, and muscle rigidity are the most prominent motor features. These factors result in gait impairments, including slowness and freezing. The primary treatment for …
Spinal Cord Stimulation for Gait Dysfunction in Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second commonest neurodegenerative disorder, affecting over 145,000 people in the UK. Initially, PD patients experience slowness of movements, limb stiffness, and tremor. With progressive loss of neurons over time, many patients start to experience balance and walking problems, and falls, which are resistant to currently …
Action Observation and Motor Imagery Therapy in Parkinson's Disease
In recent years, motor imagery (MI) and action observation (AO) therapy strategies have been used in rehabilitation programs to increase motor learning in Parkinson's disease (PD). Visuomotor training strategies such as AO and MI therapy rely on the activity of the mirror neuron system to facilitate motor re-learning. Mirror neurons …
Speed Manipulated Adaptive Rehabilitation Therapy Bike for Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder that results in slowness of movement, muscle stiffness, tremor, and postural instability. These symptoms significantly affect PD patients' quality of life, independence, and functional performance. There is currently no cure for PD, but symptoms can be treated with levodopa or deep brain …
Accelerated TMS for Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a personalized brain stimulation method called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), combined with walking exercises, is a practical and tolerable approach to help people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait (FOG). FOG is a disabling symptom where people …
Effects of Table Tennis for People With Parkinson's Disease
Quasi-experimental, controlled, non-randomised two-arm pilot, with an experimental group (table tennis exercise) and an active control group (cognitive training based on board games).
Sustained Release Oral Formulation for Treatment of Parkinson's Disease
Achieving sustained blood levels of carbidopa/levodopa has been a challenge in the treatment of PD and although levodopa remains the most commonly used drug, motor fluctuations remain a major disability especially in advanced Parkinson's disease. The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of a novel oral carbidopa-levodopa …
Steps Against the Burden of Parkinson's Disease - RCT Kiel
Parkinson's disease (PD) affects over 10 million worldwide, causing unstable gait and falls in 70% of patients despite medication. This leads to confidence loss, isolation, fractures, and hospitalizations. Treadmill training, augmented by mechanical/virtual-reality triggers, has proven effective in enhancing gait and reducing falls. However, underlying treadmill training mechanisms are unclear. …
Evaluation of GM101 Injection in Patients With Parkinson's Disease
The objective of this study is to assess the safety of GM101 in participants with Parkinson's disease (PD)
Genetics and Aerobic Exercise to Slow Parkinson's Disease Trial
The proposed multi-site, Genetics and Aerobic Exercise to Slow PD (GEARS) Trial will, for the first time, determine the interplay between genetics and exercise in altering PD progression. In sum, 200 PD patients will be recruited from the Cleveland and Salt Lake City metro areas to participate in the Pedaling …
