Filter by:This is a non-randomized, open label, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of KL002 in the treatment of advanced primary Parkinson's disease. Condition or disease: Parkinson's Disease Intervention/treatment: Drug: KL002 Phase: NA
The purpose of our study is to evaluate Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset stimulation (vCR) and its effects on motor function in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). vCR will be administered with a device called the Vibrotactile (VT) Touch device. vCR can be used in conjunction with medication and is expected to delay the need to increase dopamine medication. It also provides a more flexible alternative to deep brain stimulation (DBS) in that the vCR therapy can be easily stopped or modified to better suit the patients' needs.
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the ability of a mobility monitor to measure and predict outcomes in Parkinson's disease (PD). It is an extension of a previous study (the Mobilise-D Clinical Validation Study) and consists of an additional follow-up visit for PD participants and the recruitment of age matched control participants. The data will inform researchers about PD disease progression and normal changes in mobility associated with aging.
Parkinson's Disease (PD), first described by James Parkinson in 1817, is a progressive movement disorder that develops mainly as a result of the destruction of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. The aim of our study is to determine the effect of cognitive functions on upper extremity functionality in individuals with Parkinson's Disease.
The project aims to evaluate the clinical and biological effects on patients with Parkinson's disease of an innovative treatment characterized by the use of transcranial Direct Current Stmulation (tDCs) with Dual Task (DT), i.e. including the performance of motor activities in conjunction with the request of cognitive performance, such as executive functions (creative flexibility, working memory and divided attention). Randomized controlled, double-blind, non-pharmacological study using device.The project involves the enrollment of 30 patients.Participants will be randomized into 2 groups: 15 / group and will carry out activities in DT associated with tDCS real (test group) or sham (control group). Each will carry out 12 rehabilitation sessions (2 / week) of 30 minutes. A follow-up is foreseen for all 12 weeks after the end of the treatment. Patients will undergo, at baseline (T0), at the end of the session (T1) and at 12 weeks (T2), a motor and a cognitive profile, moreover a blood sample will be taken. The project intends to improve the state of Parkinson's patients both thanks to the type of protocol that associates DT and tDCS, and thanks to the verification of the treatment through personalized biological analyzes. In detail, improvement in clinical performance, space-time variables in gait and cognitive tests are expected; the variability of synaptic and pathological markers will serve to verify the effect of the treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the combined effects of non-invasive neuromodulation (specifically transauricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation) with exercise interventions to improve physical function and quality of life in individuals with Parkinson's Disease.
Parkinson's disease patients have characteristic postural changes in upper limbs, lower limbs and trunk. The presence of kyphosis is observed as the most common postural deformity. The aim of this study is to verify the effect of dry soil therapy and shallow water therapy on muscle function in individuals with Parkinson's disease? Regarding the benefits, is there a difference between the therapies?
The purpose of this research study is to determine how training to step with a metronome on both a treadmill, as well as overground, will influence the way that people with Parkinson disease walk. Using metronomes is commonly used in clinics, but the investigators will be using a combination of slow and fast frequencies to alter the way that people walk. The use of a slower frequency metronome on the treadmill is intended to help participants take larger steps. The use of a faster frequency metronome while walking overground is intended to help participants take faster steps.This will take place over 12 training sessions. Each session will be about an hour. It will include some walking tests and pictures of the brain (using MRI) before and after training.
This is a multicenter longitudinal study in about 300 patients with Idiopathic Parkinson's disease, who will be evaluated in several clinical centers with a clinical assessment and an oculometric examination during a time period with specific intervals. This study aims to evaluate the correlation between oculometric measures and clinical assessment over time, as well as the potential to detect early change in clinical status using an oculometric assessment.
The purpose of this study is to compare experiences and effects of a virtual reality physical program to an in-person Rock Steady Boxing Program. People with Parkinson's disease, age 18 and up, who participate in Rock Steady Boxing weekly may join this study.
