Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the bioavailability and the bioequivalence between two active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) sources of opicapone (OPC) at two different dosage strengths (25 mg and 50 mg) after a single oral dose administration under fasting conditions in healthy male and female subjects.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether droxidopa, a medication that increases norepinephrine levels, may be effective in improving some aspects of cognition and movement in Parkinson's disease (PD).
This trial will assess whether long-acting levodopa taken at night improves obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), as compared with placebo.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a degenerative disorder characterized by a symptom triad consisting on: tremor, rigidity and bradykinesia . To these symptoms it is often added postural alteration that can stand in two different attitudes, such as the camptocormia and the syndrome of Pisa . Progressing in its evolution, PD becomes increasingly disabling, making it difficult or even impossible daily activities such as washing or dressing.The abnormal posture, with alteration of the limbs, the neck and trunk, is a recurring feature in PD, with a frequency of about 30%. Between 2% and 12.3% are more severe abnormalities such as camptocormia, the syndrome of Pisa and the anterocollis. Several studies disease plug in Neuromuscular Taping technique (NMT) among rehabilitative tools in degenerative neurological syndromes. To the best of our knowledge, no applications were found in PD. Therefore, the current study was designed to evaluate quantitatively the effects of the NMT intervention on the trunk kinematics during standing position. More specifically, this study aims to compare the trunk kinematic variables of patients with PD who were treated with effective NMT versus those of the subjects who received only the pharmacological treatment.
Evaluate the benefits of Kinesia-360™ wearable technology in addition to standard clinical practice on improving Parkinson´s disease motor symptoms, Neupro dosing regimen and adherence to Neupro compared with only standard clinical practice.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect on the "wearing-off" phenomenon of 3 different doses of nebicapone (NEB 50 mg, 100 mg and 150 mg), compared with entacapone and placebo when dministered concomitantly with existing treatment with levodopa plus a dopa decarboxylase inhibitor (DDCI: carbidopa or benserazide).
The investigators are studying the relationship between a certain oscillatory brain rhythm (13-30 cycles/sec) that emerges prominently in patients with Parkinson's disease and symptoms of slowness of movement. The investigators are recruiting patients with a range of severity of Parkinson's disease symptoms to perform electroencephalography (EEG), in which the study team records brain waves using electrodes placed on the scalp, while patients sit at rest or perform certain hand tasks. The investigators will analyze the recorded brain waves to extract the brain rhythm of interest and relate it to motor symptom severity as well as study its behavior during rest and hand movement.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the administration of BIA 6-512 (25 mg, 50 mg, 75 mg and 100 mg) at steady-state affects the pharmacokinetics of levodopa when administered in combination with a single-dose of immediate release levodopa/benserazide 200/50 mg or with a single-dose of immediate release levodopa/benserazide 200/50 mg plus a single-dose of nebicapone 150 mg.
Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) is the second most frequent neurodegenerative disease. Its association with osteroporosis and fragility fracture is now clearly demonstrated, but the determinants of this osteoporosis are yet to be explained. Our aim was to study factors associated with volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and bone microstructure at the tibia and radius in IPD.
the purpose of the study was to the compare pharmacokinetic profile of BIA 6-512 in healthy elderly subjects versus healthy young subjects after single and repeated oral administration of 200 mg BIA 6-512.
