Filter by:This study aimed to examine the relationship of quality of life with tremor severity and upper limb functionality in individuals with Parkinson's Disease. The differences between Parkinson's Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire, Nine-Hole Peg Test, grip and pinch strength values in the individuals with and without tremor in the study were investigated.
Patients with parkinson disease (PD) usually reduced the dose the levodopa after received deep brain stimulation (DBS). However, studies seldomly mentioned about the influences on non-motors systems after the reduction. Our study focused on the changes after DBS and attribute them to the levodopa variety.
Parkinson's Disease (PD), first described by James Parkinson in 1817, is a progressive movement disorder that develops mainly as a result of the destruction of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. The aim of our study is to determine the effect of cognitive functions on upper extremity functionality in individuals with Parkinson's Disease.
Today, physiotherapy approaches in Parkinson's Disease (PD) form the basis of optimal treatment together with medical and surgical treatment. It is stated that various rehabilitation interventions may be effective in the field of physiotherapy. The frequently preferred among these rehabilitation interventions is the conventional treatment approach. In the conventional treatment, various exercises are preferred to improve balance and walking, as well as stretching and strengthening. On the other hand, rebound therapy require strong integration of the neuromuscular system and provide more active use of lower extremity muscle strength. Rebound therapy have been shown to be effective in improving balance in many neurological disease groups, but there is very little study on rebound therapy in PD. It was shown that rebound therapy improve proprioceptive sense, joint range of motion and quality of life. On the other hand, no study has been found showing its effect on balance and walking. Therefore, there is a need to investigate the effectiveness of rebound therapy on balance and walking.
The primary study objective is to establish the safety and tolerability of MT101-5 after a single and multiple dose administrations in healthy volunteers. The safety and overall tolerability of MT101-5 will be evaluated based on: - Incidence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) - Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs). - Incidence of withdrawals due to Adverse Events (AEs). - Change/shifts in laboratory values. Change in vital signs. - Change in Electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters. - Changes in physical examination findings
The implementation of regular prolonged, and effective rehabilitation in people with Parkinson's disease is essential for ensuring a good quality of life. However, the continuity of rehabilitation care may find barriers related to economic, geographic, and social issues. In these scenarios, telerehabilitation could be a possible solution to guarantee the continuity of care. This trial aims to investigate the efficacy of non-immersive virtual reality-based telerehabilitation on postural stability in people with Parkinson's disease, compared to at-home conventional rehabilitation.
A prospective, open-label, multi-center pilot study designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Felix system in the relief of upper limb tremors in adults with essential tremor and Parkinson's disease.
This is a non-drug study in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) and healthy volunteers to process and analyze their blood and optional cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples ex vivo, or outside of their body, to further develop researchers knowledge on LRRK2 biomarkers. Participants were enrolled either in Cohort A or in Cohort B. A blood sample was collected in each participant within a maximum of two study visits within 14 days, and an option to complete both visits on the same day.
Postoperative delirium (POD) remains one of the most common neuropsychiatric complications after deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. The fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR) has been shown to significantly correlate with prognosis of many diseases associated with inflammation, but the relationship between FAR and POD is unclear. The investigators aimed to investigate the association between POD and FAR in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients receiving DBS surgery. For this aim, the present study was conducted to provide a new method for the early recognition and perioperative management of delirium after DBS surgery in PD patients.
Comparison of two rehabilitation protocols in patients with Parkinson's disease and, therefore, identification of innovative rehabilitation protocols of proven and validated efficacy, through which it is possible to achieve: - Improved joint function and gait pattern - Reduction of the risk of falling or reduction of energy expenditure during physiological gait Evaluation of the increase in maximal effort tolerance · Improved cognitive performances Evaluation of the impact on the quality of life of the patient and family members Identification of morpho-functional markers predictive of clinical and rehabilitative out-come through neuroimaging study.
