Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms in individuals with Parkinson's Disease (PD). Past researches indicated that more than half of the individuals with PD demonstrated fatigue symptom. The severity of fatigue was also correlated to the quality of life in individuals with PD. Finding the contributions of the central and the peripheral factors to fatigue, building reliable fatigue indexes, and developing an effective training program for individuals with PD are very important. The purpose of this project is to develop non-invasive method to monitor central and peripheral fatigue, to establish Virtual Reality(VR) anti-fatigue ergo cycling training paradigm, and to evaluate the long term training effect in individuals with PD.
This study is designed to determine if magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures can be used to diagnose and monitor the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD) while distinguishing between PD and parkinsonisms [conditions that are PD look-a-like diseases such as progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) or multiple system atrophy (MSA)] when combined with changes in certain proteins in body fluids that are related to iron (Fe).
Excessive free radical formation and depletion of the brain's primary antioxidant, glutathione, are established components of Parkinson's disease (PD) pathophysiology. While there is rationale for the therapeutic use of reduced glutathione (GSH) in PD, and even some preliminary evidence to suggest the use of GSH can lead to symptomatic improvement, obstacles surrounding currently employed delivery methods have hindered the clinical utility of this therapy. Intranasal GSH, (in)GSH, is a novel method of delivery for this popular CAM therapy in patients with PD, and bypasses the obstacles associated with other delivery methods. It has been used in clinical practice since 2005. The aim of this study is to evaluate safety, tolerability, and preliminary absorption data of (in)GSH in volunteers with PD in a Phase I single ascending dose escalation study.
