Filter by:This is a 44-week, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, single-center, phase 1 clinical trial consisting of a dose-escalation Part A study in healthy participants, followed by a Part B in participants with Parkinson's disease with a selected doses from Part A.
To assess the feasibility, impact, and participant satisfaction of offering Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified genetic testing as part of clinical care for People with Parkinson's disease (PWP).
This home-based study is a randomized (1:1) placebo-controlled trial of a single infusion of zoledronic acid-5 mg (ZA) for the prevention of fractures in men and women aged 60 years and older with Parkinson's disease and parkinsonism with at least 2 years of follow-up. A total of 3500 participants will be enrolled and randomized in the United States. Participants, follow-up outcome assessors, and study investigators will be blinded to assigned study treatment. This trial is funded by the National Institute of Aging.
The goals of this study are: 1) to identify biomarkers using neuroimaging that are associated with progression rate using statistical methods, and 2) to identify biomarkers that are associated with the differential diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and atypical parkinsonism.
An observational study aiming to study the natural history of a UK-wide patient cohort with ATP1A3-related disease.
The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a personalized patient education program to the current hospital education and evaluate its impact using patient satisfaction scores. The investigators hypothesize that a personalized patient education intervention will increase patient's understanding of their diagnosis and satisfaction with the care as reflected in the survey results.
Vascular parkinsonism (VP), parkinsonism resulting from ischemic cerebrovascular disease, was suggested in 1929. The main features are wide-based gait, postural instability, and falls, which make patients with VP frustrated. Currently, the treatment is challenging. Transcranial magnetic stiumation is a noninvasive procedure using electromagnetic induction to stimulate brain, and repetitive transcranial magnetic stiumation (rTMS) can selectively change brain activity to enhance desired effects. The aim of this study is to explore the therapeutic effect of rTMS for the VP.
The overall goal of this project is to identify, assess and longitudinally monitor subjects who are interested in participating in this study. Participants will enroll through a platform named PaWei, and provide informed consent prior to any study activities. PaWei will collect a variety of information, including participants' demographic information, overall health, family history of Parkinson's Disease, other clinical information (clinical drug use, drug efficacy, and comorbid disorders), mood status, sleep, diet, exercise, memory complaints, online cognitive tests, the Short-Form 8-Item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-8), Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale IB & II (MDS-UPDRS IB & II), Non-Motor Symptom Aassessment Scale for Parkinson's Disease (NMSS) , Hoehn and Yahr Scale, and other scales related to quality of life, etal---all through self-reported online questionnaires. Participants will also be asked to return to the PaWei every 3 months at regular intervals, to complete follow-up scales related to quality of life, and neuropsychological assessments, etal. Anyone with Parkinsonian Disorders is welcome to participate.
This observational and experimental study seeks to establish a Smart Device System (SDS) to monitor high-resolution handtremor-based data using Smartphones, SmartWatches and Tablets. By doing this, movement data will be analyzed in depth with advanced statistical and Deep-Learning algorithms to identify new clinical phenotypical characteristics Parkinson's Disease and Essential Tremor.
To generate pilot data to investigate the potential to use in vivo iron- and neuromelanin-quantification as imaging tools for the diagnostic evaluation of movement disorders with predominant dystonia / parkinsonism. To this end we are planning to compare the MR imaging neuromelanin and iron-pattern and content in midbrain, striatum and further brain structures in clinically similar entities and respective, sex- and age-matched healthy controls.
