Filter by:The main aim of this study is to demonstrate how disorders characterized by different types of "inflexibility", cognitive-affective type for Anorexia nervosa and motor one for Parkinson's disease, have an impact on how emotional stimuli are processed and on the transition within emotional states.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the relationship between GBA mutation and cognitive stimulation treatment response in patients with Parkinson's disease. The main questions it aim to answer are: • assess whether the GBA mutation is associated with greater or lesser response to cognitive training treatment compared to a control group of PD patients without genetic mutations. • investigate the effect of cognitive stimulation program on behavioural aspects as secondary consequence induced by the possible improvement of cognitive abilities following treatment. Participants will be undergo to: - a neuropsychological evaluation describing their cognitive profile; - a genetic investigation and finally included in a cognitive stimulation programs according to regular clinical practice. Researchers will compare PD patients with GBA mutation and patients without genetic mutation to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive stimulation treatment.
The goal of this or clinical trial is to explore efficacy of stellate ganglion block on dysphagia and activities of daily living in patients with Parkinson's disease. The main question it aims to answer are: • Can stellate ganglion block improve the dysphagia and activities of daily living in patients with Parkinson's disease. Participants will be divided into the the control group and observation group evenly. All the patients were provided with routine therapy, while the patients in the observation group were given stellate ganglion block. The swallowing function, and activities of daily living of the two groups of patients before and after treatment were evaluated.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of dihydroergotine mesylate extended-release tablets for salivation in Parkinson's disease Study content: Using a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study design, 120 patients with Parkinson's disease and cognitive impairment were enrolled, and the treatment was followed up for 12 weeks: dihydroergotine mesylate sustained-release tablets + conventional treatment (treatment group patients, 80 cases), placebo + conventional treatment (control group patients, 40 cases), and the main indicators were observed: the improvement effect of dihydroergotine mesylate sustained-release tablets on PD salivation was observed, and the secondary indicators were observed: the effect of dihydroergotine mesylate sustained-release tablets on the cognitive function of PD patients was observed. Expected results: The improvement effect of dihydroergotine mesylate sustained-release tablets on PD salivation was significantly different from that of the placebo control group. The dihydroergotine mesylate sustained-release tablet group had a significant effect on the cognitive function of PD patients.
To validate the efficiency of online exergaming-based physiotherapy. We will enroll patients with Parkinson's disease in postural instability and gait disturbance motor phenotype in the study and divide them into two groups in a randomized controlled study.
Freezing of gait (FoG) is a complex symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) that cause falls and disability in PD patients, heavily affect patients' autonomy and quality of life. Gait disturbances and FoG are difficult to manage as they usually do not complete respond to both dopaminergic treatment and subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS). One therapeutic strategy suggested in literature for improving gait disturbances is to increase the dose of dopaminergic drugs according to the hypothesis of pseudo-ON-freezing. The pseudo-ON-FoG in patients treated with STN-DBS can easily occur as the result of a suboptimal stimulation or the consequence of a post-operative reduction of the dopaminergic therapy. Therefore, it is reasonable hypothesize both the increase of stimulation and levodopa as good therapeutic strategies to improve pseudo-ON-FoG. At present there are no evidence for suppose that one option is better than the other, even though two recent studies on gait analysis reported a positive additive effect of levodopa therapy on gait parameters in patients treated with STN-DBS. In this study, the investigators aim to objectively evaluating the improvement of FoG in PD patients treated with STN-DBS at different treatment conditions consisting of increased intensity of stimulation or higher dosage of levodopa.
A Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of BMS-984923 administered orally twice daily (BID) for 28 days in participants with Parkinson's disease.
The purpose of this study is to examine physical activity and exercise behaviors in people with Parkinson's Disease and Multiple Sclerosis over the course of 1-year using a cloud-based remote monitoring platform.
The incidence of PD is high, and when the disease is serious to a certain extent, the effect of drugs to control symptoms decreases, resulting in a significant reduction in the quality of life of patients. Recent studies have found that these PD symptoms are closely related to the intestine. For several cases of PD syndrome patients complicated with chronic appendicitis, our research group conducted acupuncture on points related to constipation and chronic appendicitis, and found that constipation and related motor symptoms of patients could be significantly improved. Clinical studies have shown that acupuncture also has a certain therapeutic effect on non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease, such as anxiety and depression, decreased olfactory function, sleep disorders, constipation, early skeletal muscle pain, cognitive dysfunction, etc., which can delay the progression of the disease and improve the quality of life of patients. Starting from intestinal acupuncture, this project further clarified the role of acupuncture treatment in the comprehensive treatment of PD
The goal of this or clinical trial is to explore Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding vs. Nasogastric Tube Feeding on nutritional status, dysphagia, and activities of daily living in patients with Parkinson's disease. The main question it aims to answer are: • Can stellate ganglion block improve the nutritional status, dysphagia, and activities of daily living in patients with Parkinson's disease, better than Nasogastric Tube Feeding. Participants will be divided into the control group and observation group evenly. All the patients were provided with routine therapy and given nutritional support by Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding and Nasogastric Tube Feeding respectively. The nutritional status, swallowing function, and activities of daily living of the two groups of patients before and after treatment were evaluated.
