Filter by:The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of how exercise training affects motor/hand function and brain function in those diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. The investigators want to study if exercise will improve hand function and improve the level of brain activity.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of selected Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) techniques on the respiratory system of people with Parkinson's Disease (PD) in comparison to light touch. Effectiveness will be measured through pulmonary function tests, chest wall expansion, and voice analysis. Selected subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups: OMM treatment group or light touch group. Although OMM treatment has been used on PD patients, a randomized controlled study has not been done to establish its effect on PD respiratory function. The authors believe that this study will show OMM's effectiveness.
A double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study of the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple ascending oral doses of V81444 in healthy male volunteers
A 48-month open label multi-centered extension study to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of E2007 in patients with Parkinson's Disease with "wearing off" motor fluctuations and "on" period Dyskinesias.
The primary objective of this trial is to establish the maximum maintenance dose of SPM 962 in patients with Parkinson's disease in a multi-center, uncontrolled, open-label study by conducting safety evaluation of each patient following once-daily transdermal doses of SPM 962 within a range of 4.5 to 36.0 mg. (The administration period will consist of a standard 8-week dose-titration period, 4-week dose-maintenance period, and a dose de-escalation period) Exploratory evaluation of each patient's maintenance dose will also be conducted with attention to patient safety. The relationship of pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy will also be examined.
- To investigate the safety of once-daily repeated transdermal administration of SPM 962 within a dose range of 4.5 to 36.0 mg/day (54-week treatment period) in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients treated concomitantly with L-dopa in a multi-center, open-label uncontrolled study. - To investigate efficacy of SPM 962 in an exploratory manner.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate safety of SPM 962 in advanced PD patients in a multi-center, open-label, non-controlled study following once-daily multiple transdermal doses of SPM962 within a range of 4.5 to 36.0 mg (maximum treatment period: 54 weeks). Efficacy is also to be exploratory investigated.
In a recent study it was found that neurologist care for Parkinson's provides a 20% reduction in nursing home placement, hip fracture, and death (Willis 2011). However, as the authors recognized, the investigators don't know what it is about expert care that delivers this benefit. The Parkinson's Foundation's Quality Improvement Initiative was designed to identify the components of great care that yield great outcomes. By capturing demographics, clinical interventions and outcomes over time from multiple centers across the U.S, Canada and internationally, the best care practices from different clinics and different healthcare systems will be analyzed.
Safety of SPM 962 in a once-daily repeated long-term treatment in Parkinson's disease patients who are not concomitantly treated with L-dopa will be investigated with a doses.
- To demonstrate the non-inferiority of SPM 962 to ropinirole in terms of efficacy in order to confirm clinical value of SPM 962. - To demonstrate the superiority of SPM 962 to placebo in terms of efficacy. - To investigate the tolerability and safety of SPM 962 up to 36.0 mg/day.
