Filter by:The Boston Cognitive Assessment (BoCA) is a self-administered online test intended for longitudinal cognitive monitoring. BoCA uses random not-repeating tasks to minimize learning effects. BoCA was developed to evaluate the effects of treatment in longitudinal clinical trials and available gratis to individuals and professionals.
Gait disorder is a disabling symptom in Parkinson's disease (PD) affecting all patients during the course. Three methods of treadmill training (TT) will be compared to assess additional augmented reality (AR), or additional dual task (DT). AR TT, DT TT, and TT alone applied over 3 weeks at each day will be compared for their impact on falls, walking, freezing and attention for 3 months in a double blinded randomized controlled trial during regular neurorehabilitation.
This study plans to analyze the molecular and clinical mechanisms of the relationship between the GBA mutations and Parkinson's disease. This will be assessed through the use of advanced neuroimaging techniques called PET (positron emission tomography) to study the accumulation of the tau protein and the dysfunction of acetylcholine and dopamine in the brain of people with a mutation in the GBA gene, with and without Parkinson's disease. The ingestigators will also use a technology-based assessment to study the typing patterns as possible biomarkers of early motor dysfunctions.
This study evaluates the hypothesis that the gas mixture with xenon will have a positive effect on the symptoms in patients with Parkinson's Disease. The study will test the hypothesis that the gas mixture with xenon has a symptomatic treatment potential for patients with Parkinson's Disease, as measured by change from baseline in the Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS).
Exploring directional lead
People with Parkinson's disease (PD) experience various motor and nonmotor symptoms throughout its evolution. It is characterized mainly by the presence of tremor, stiffness, bradykinesia and postural instability, leading to progressive functional limitation and impairment in the performance of usual activities of daily living. In addition, patients may have cognitive disorders, memory deficits, problems related to visuospatial dysfunction, difficulties in performing sequential or repetitive movements, freezing, and slow psychological responses. Previous studies analyzed by systematic reviews suggest the efficacy of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) to improve the motor and non-motor symptoms of PD, depending on the area of stimulation. However, most of these focus only on one specific area. Therefore, the overall objective of this study is to investigate the effects of multifocal neuromodulation on the motor and cognitive function of people with Parkinson's disease.
The final goal of the present study is to propose a new approach in the Parkinson's Disease rehabilitation, focused on the use of robotic devices and to check the results not only at the end of the treatment but also in the long term, foreseeing 3 follow-up.
The purpose of this international study is to evaluate long-term safety and effectiveness of Abbott deep brain stimulation (DBS) systems for all indications, including Parkinson's disease, essential tremor or other disabling tremor and dystonia.
In this study, the investigators will examine the association of statin use and dyskinesia in a convenience sample Parkinson's disease patients in the Veterans Administration Health Care System.
it is a prospective longitudinal observational study, aiming to to identify clinical, and biochemical baseline predictors of motor and non-motor PD progression in sample of Egyptian patients. it measures the baseline motor, non-motor, biochemical and imaging characteristics at enrollment and its relation to PD progression over 3 years
