Filter by:Intro: Huntington's disease is a neurodegenerative disease that affects the brain, inducing a dysfunction and death of the middle spiny striatal projection neurons and a progressive alteration of cognitive and motor functions, and psycho-behavioral problems. There is currently no curative treatment but we know hat a multidisciplinary care can optimize the functioning and the quality of life of the patients with Huntington's disease. A meta-analysis of 18studies indicates that exercise and physical activity can improve motor function, gait speed and balance, and would also improve self-confidence, independence, well-being, reduced apathy and better socialization with family and friends. Hypothesis/Objective The hypothesis is that the inclusion of a 4 week-program with Adapted Physical Activity (APA) during a rehabilitation stay will improve some motor, cognitive and psycho-behavioral abilities, compared to the control group. Method The patients will be randomized into two groups : The control group will have the "classic" program performed in the standard of care with: kinesitherapy, soft gym, medico-social workshop, cognitive workshop, creative workshop, individual care (rehabilitation, rest, and creation). The experimental APA group will have in addition of the classic program, 6 APA workshops per week with collective support : Adapted Physical workshops, adapted cycling, therapeutic (horseback/equestrian) riding, cultural or leisure outings, situation tests For the two groups, at the start of the 4 weeks of rehabilitation program an initial visit will be performed with, as part of this research, a clinical examination, a neurological examination, a dietary consultation, as well as a biological assessment as part of habitual care. The clinical examination, the neurological examination and the dietary consultation will be performed each week, during the 4 weeks of the program, At the end of the study, one month after the rehabilitation of the patient, a visit by phone-call will be performed for the patient and his caregiver.
AIM: To assess synaptic density and to investigate the potential relationship of regional synaptic loss with motor and non-motor symptoms and with disease progression in the human brain in vivo in patients with HD. DESIGN: The investigators will include 20 HD mutations carriers and 15 healthy controls. All subjects will undergo a clinical examination, with comprehensive assessment of motor and non-motor symptoms, and imaging evaluation consisting of 11C-UCB-J PET-CT and 18F-FDG PET-MR at baseline and after 2 years.
The study proposes to identify deviant speech dimensions in patients with HD at presymptomatic and declared stages of the disease, compared to healthy subjects, using the computerized MonPaGe speech protocol. This tool is based on a multidimensional and quantified assessment of voice and speech, by a set of targeted acoustic and perceptual criteria.
The objective of this study is to discover a panel of mitochondrial metabolomics biomarkers for Huntington's disease.
This study is a multi-center, open-label study of intravenous (IV) ANX005 in subjects with, or at risk for, manifest Huntington's Disease (HD).
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of exogenous melatonin in improving sleep quality in HD gene carriers.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and benefit of risperidone for the treatment of chorea (involuntary movements) in Huntington's disease. Risperidone is commonly used in clinical practice to treat chorea, however, it has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat chorea. This study will examine 1) whether the investigators see MRI changes with risperidone treatment and 2) whether sensors applied to the participants body can measure chorea and detect changes in chorea.
This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of valbenazine to treat chorea in participants with Huntington disease.
Study BP40410 is an open-label, adaptive multiple-dose clinical study designed to characterize the PK of RO7234292 (RG6042) in plasma and CSF as well as the acute time course and recovery profile of CSF mHTT lowering in response to RO7234292 (RG6042) treatment after intrathecal (IT) administration of RO7234292 (RG6042) to patients with manifest Hungtington's disease (HD).
The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy and safety of dextromethorphan/quinidine 20mg/10mg (DM/Q 20mg/10mg) in patients with irritability due to Huntington's disease.
