View clinical trials related to Parkinson Disease.
Filter by:Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological condition, which affects the brain. PD gets worse over time, but how quickly it progresses varies a lot from person to person. Some symptoms of PD are tremors, stiffness, and slowness of movement. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how effective ABBV-951 is in treating adult participants with advanced PD in real world setting. ABBV-951 (foslevodopa/foscarbidopa) is an approved drug for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease. Approximately 450 adult participants with PD (300 participants new to ABBV-951, up to 150 participants transitioning from open-label extension study) will be enrolled across approximately 60 sites. Decision to treat with ABBV-951 (or continue the treatment in Cohort B) will be made by the doctor prior to any decision to approach the participant to participate in this study. All participants will receive subcutaneous infusion of ABBV-951 for approximately 3 years. Participants will attend regular clinic visits during the course of the study. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, and completing questionnaires.
BACKGROUND: Postural instability is one of the cardinal signs in Parkinson's disease (PD). It represents one of the most disabling symptoms in the advanced stages of the disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the immediate and long-term effects of adding computer-based cognitive training to physical therapy interventions on postural stability, Parkinson's motor symptoms, and gait performance in Parkinson's disease patients.
The overall goal of the proposed research is to evaluate the use of [11C]SY08 as a PET radiotracer for aggregated alpha synuclein (αS) in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD), Multiple system atrophy (MSA), Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) and healthy controls. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of [11C]SY08 as a PET radiotracer for αS fibrils in individuals with PD, MSA, DLB and healthy controls. The specific aims of the current study are: 1. To determine brain uptake, distribution, and kinetics of [11C]SY08 in healthy individuals. 2. To determine brain uptake, distribution, and kinetics of [11C]SY08 in patients with alpha synuclein aggregates in the brain, including PD, DLB and MSA. 3. To determine human dosimetry of [11C]SY08 in healthy individuals An intravenous bolus injection of [11C]SY08 will be administered per subject for brain PET imaging.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the application of domestic PET/MR in major brain diseases. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Overcome the bottleneck of early accurate diagnosis and treatment in major brain diseases clinical practice. - Promote the clinical application of domestic PET/MR, enhance international competitiveness. Participants will have a PET/MR scan of the brain.
This study intends to apply structural and functional brain network neuroimaging techniques combined with image post-processing methods to explore the differences in brain network changes in PD patients with cognitive impairment after DBS or TMS.
Transcranial Ultrasound Stimulation (TUS) is an emerging non-invasive brain stimulation(NIBS) technique that can be used on both superficial and deep brain targets with a high spatial resolution as small as a few cubic millimeters. Functional Electrical stimulation is a peripheral stimulation technique researched and clinically used to restore motor function following conditions like stroke and Spinal cord injury. To date, there are no studies that have looked at the neuro modulatory effects of combining TUS and FES on motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease. The current study aims to understand the neuromodulatory effects of combining tbFUS to bilateral primary motor cortex (M1) in Parkinsons's disease patients immediately followed by bilateral upper extremity FES of the hand muscles for improving motor symptoms.
The goal of this clinical trial is to develop non-invasive brain stimulation targets for the treatment of apathy, or motivation problems, in Parkinson Disease. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. Does transcranial magnetic stimulation change effort task performance in Parkinson's Disease patients? 2. Is there a link between brain signals and apathy? Participants will - complete questionnaires and assessments - perform an effort task - have their brain activity recorded (EEG) - receive non-invasive brain stimulation (TMS) Researchers will compare two stimulation locations (experimental site and control site) to see if TMS of the experimental site has an effect on apathy. Participants will receive stimulation of both sites (during separate visits).
The aim of the NODAL clinical trial is to demonstrate the feasibility of new, low-cost, non-invasive biomarkers of neurodegenerative pathologies as early Alzheimer and Parkinson, based on the estimation of the multimodal connectome.
Since our previous study has shown that some personality dimensions were associated with Quality of Life (QoL) amelioration after Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson's disease (PD), the investigators aim to evaluate the impact of personality dimensions on therapeutic response after another second-line treatment: the continuous subcutaneous apomorphine infusion (CSAI). Moreover, the investigators would like to evaluate the potential evolution of personality dimensions through CSAI. The investigators also aim to evaluate other bio-psycho-social factors (representations of the disease, ways of copying and social support) influence on QoL amelioration after DBS.
This study aims to conduct a randomized controlled study to compare the efficacy of remote programming (RP) on the improvement of motor function after DBS surgery in PD patients with standard programming (SP).
