Filter by:This study will evaluate whether whole-body vibration applied over a 12-week period is effective in treating motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
This study is a 12-month, dose-level blinded, multicenter study of 2 inhaled dose levels of CVT-301 for the treatment of up to 5 OFF episodes per day in PD patients experiencing motor fluctuations (OFF episodes). All patients will receive active treatment, but patients will be blinded to dose level. This will serve as an extension to the CVT-301-004 (NCT02240030) study for those patients who participated in that study and remain eligible for this study. In addition, patients who previously completed the CVT-301-003 (NCT01777555), CVT-301-009 (NCT02807675) and CVT-301-005 (NCT02352363) (observational arm completers), as well as CVT-301 naïve patients may be enrolled if they meet the CVT-301-004E eligibility criteria.
This randomized, multicenter, placebo-controlled, double-blind study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of inhaled CVT 301 compared with placebo in PD patients experiencing motor response fluctuations (OFF phenomena) as an outpatient (i.e., at home) and in the clinic. Patients who successfully complete this study will be eligible to enroll into a 12 month treatment extension (CVT-301-004E) study.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Rotigotine and Levodopa combination therapy for younger and older patients with Parkinson's Disease under real life conditions. Effects on ability to perform activities of daily living, sleep, medication dose and other factors will be assessed.
The purpose of this study is to use non-invasive Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans to investigate venous insufficiency, brain iron levels and white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) to determine if there is direct correlation with Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease (IPD). Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease and it affects roughly 0.1% to 0.3% of the population. The risk of having IPD increases with age and the median onset age is about 60 years. The etiology of IPD remains unknown. Generally, Parkinson's patients show a reduction of dopamine levels in the deep grey matter of the brain over time. Many clinically diagnosed cases of IPD are associated with white matter hyperintensities (WMH) and elevated brain iron levels. Furthermore, in the last few years there has been an increasing interest in the role of veins in neurodegenerative diseases. More attention has been paid to the extracranial veins as being potential sources of venous hypertension. The obstructed veins are thought to cause venous insufficiency. By using MRI techniques, the investigators can not only obtain qualitative vascular information but also quantitative arterial and venous blood flow measurements.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture and bee venom acupuncture (BVA) for idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) through a sham-controlled trial and investigate whether there is sustainability of treatments effects by follow-up assessments after the end of the treatment.
This is a study to assess the efficacy and safety of oral Istradefylline (KW-6002) in patients with moderate to severe Parkinson's Disease. While on this study, participants will continue to take their usual, prescribed, stable regimen of Levodopa/Carbidopa or Levodopa/Benserazide therapy plus adjunct Parkinson's medications. Patients will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive either Istradefylline 20 mg per day, or Istradefylline 40 mg per day or an equivalent placebo. Patients will be treated for a 12 week period to demonstrate the effectiveness of Istradefylline in improving Parkinson's disease symptoms (referred to as improvement in patient OFF time) and that Istradefylline has an acceptable safety profile in this group.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate safety and effectiveness of Foot Mechanical stimulation to improving Gait and Gait Related Disorders in Parkinson Disease and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy both stable and with motor fluctuation.
The study will involve an eighteen-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel designed comparison between add-on topiramate and add-on placebo to stable treatment with amatadine in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients who continue to have dyskinesia on amantadine.
This trial is being conducted to assess the effects of Rotigotine over Placebo on improvement of Apathy and motor symptoms in subjects with early-stage and advanced stage idiopathic Parkinson´s Disease.
