Filter by:This is an observational study of medical marijuana manufactured and dispensed by Ilera and given as standard treatment for a variety of approved serious medical conditions as defined by individual state law. All patients who are receiving one of the four formulations (Dream, Soothe, Shine and Ease) of medical marijuana will be provided a study flyer and asked to contact the study team via phone or email. Once the study team confirms eligibility, the study team will meet the subject face-to-face most likely at their dispensary (or other mutually agreeable location) and obtain informed consent, and assent when appropriate. Initial baseline demographic information, medical history and medication inventory will be completed. Also, since it is possible that the Investigators will enroll subjects across the region, Investigators anticipate the need to seek consent over the phone for many patients. This will be done via Skype, Go to Meeting, Facetime or similar platforms so that the Investigators can have a face to face interaction with the potential subjects. Regardless of where this discussion takes place (i.e., in person or via the web), all reasonable safeguards to ensure patient privacy will be taken. Patients or their legally authorized representative (LAR) will be given sufficient (i.e., up to several hours/days) to make a decision to participate in this study. Study staff will fax or email the consent form for their signature and no study procedures will begin until the signed consent form is received by the study team. The subjects or their LARs will be instructed on obtaining the blood samples. Blood draws will be completed in the subjects' home after one of their standard doses is taken.
This is a study to evaluate peripheral vibrotactile coordinated reset stimulation for Parkinson's disease seeks to explore the safety and efficacy of an experimental non-invasive method to aid in the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The purpose of the study is to verify the safety and tolerability of non-painful sensory (tactile) vibratory stimulation delivered to the fingertips of patients with Parkinson's disease.
An inexpensive dual-task gait training protocol has been developed for people with PD namely game based treadmill platform. A feasibility randomized trial clinical trail will be conducted to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and estimate treatment effect size of the treatment protocol to conduct a future RCT.
A Phase 3, 22-week, Multi-center, Randomized Withdrawal Study of ampreloxetine in Treating Symptomatic Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension in Subjects with Primary Autonomic Failure
(1) To examine the blood, urine and spinal fluid of persons with Parkinson's to look for evidence of inflammation and; (2) whether 18 months of vitamin B3(niacin or niacinamide) supplementation may reduce the inflammation and/or improve PD motor and non-motor symptoms.
This study consists of two parts. Part A will evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of OXB-102 (AXO-Lenti-PD) in participants with Parkinson's disease. Part B will assess the safety and efficacy of the selected dose of OXB-102 in participants with Parkinson's disease.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a range of single and 13 repeated doses of BIIB054, administered as intravenous (IV) infusion, in Japanese participants with Parkinson's disease (PD). The secondary objectives are to evaluate the immunogenicity, and serum pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of BIIB054 after single and multiple dose administration.
The purpose of this study is to look at a blood marker of inflammation in early untreated Parkinson's disease.
Akinesia is one of the most prominent symptom in Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients. It typically consists in a inability to initiate voluntary movement, and it affects patients' quality of life. This study aims at exploring the influence of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in the quality of motor control, and particularly of voluntary movement initiation, and its neural correlates. They will be evaluated using behavioral and motor tasks together with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and electrophysiology (EMG and EEG).
The complex pathological cascades leading to both Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) involve, at various points, inflammation. Since inflammation is a treatable symptom, understanding how and when it impacts the brain, and where specifically in the brain, would offer important guidance in the development of new treatments, sorely needed in both diseases. Microglia play an important anti-inflammatory role, and produce a substance, mitochondrial translocator protein (TSPO), whose presence can be used as a marker of regional inflammation. GE180 is a newly developed PET ligand which binds to TSPO and hence can be used in imaging studies to analyze regional inflammation in living patients. In prior studies it has shown regional specificity in multiple sclerosis and brain injury. In the current study, the investigators will be using GE180 to analyze regional and global inflammation in the brains of patients with AD and PD at a single time point. The results of the current study will provide enriched understanding of inflammation in these conditions, and potentially provide preliminary data to inform design of future interventional trials.
