Filter by:Participants will be allocated to FMT group or placebo group at a 1:1 ratio. For interventional group, patients will be given six FMT capsules twice a week for 24 weeks. Placebo capsules are identical in appearance and smell but contain milk powder. At each follow-up visits, participants complete specific scales to assess improvement in constipation, emotion and quality of life. Besides, fecal samples are collected for metagenomics and metabolomics sequencing and blood samples are tested peripheral concentration of levodopa.
This is a phase 1，randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, SAD study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of oral LPM526000133 Fumarate Capsules (LY03017) in healthy adult subjects.
This pilot study aims to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of nocturnal translational vestibular stimulations (VS) applied by a rocking bed (Somnomat Casa) for two months in patients with Parkinson's Disease.
The proposed system (haptic module and insole device) for daily in-community use that detects the occurrence of freezing of gait (FOG) in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). and triggers external cueing stimuli to unfreeze the individual. The purpose of the overall Phase II study is to: (1) Develop a production ready system, (2) Develop a companion mobile app for the proposed system and refine previously developed FOG detection algorithms, and (3) Validate the proper operation of the system and demonstrate its efficacy through lab and in-community testing. This study will focus on validating the system and demonstrating efficacy through in-community testing.
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive and widely used neuromodulation technology. Small sample studies have shown that rTMS treatment can significantly improve the symptoms of Parkinson's disease(PD) and delay the progression of the disease. In order to further explore the effectiveness of rTMS in the treatment of PD and lay the foundation for its clinical promotion, our research team plans to conduct a randomized double-blind controlled study of rTMS in the treatment of PD in multiple centers across the country.
In clinical practice, it is sometimes difficult to establish whether a patient's tremor is due to Parkinson's disease or essential tremor. The distinction is crucial as the health implications differ significantly between the two conditions. Therefore, the present study aims to develop a diagnostic method based on machine learning techniques to help differentiate whether a patient's tremor is due to one condition or the other. To achieve this, 110 patients with tremor, correctly diagnosed with either Parkinson's disease or essential tremor, will participate. They will undergo two diagnostic tests (tapping test and Archimedean spiral) to capture data that can be processed using machine learning techniques.
This is a randomized controlled study, including dysphagic patients with Parkinson's syndrome who were received in the department of rehabilitation medicine. All patients are randomly allocated to the observation group or the control group. Both groups are provided with comprehensive rehabilitation. Besides, the observation group additionally undergoes the stellate ganglion block. At admission and after 10-day treatment, Functional Oral Intake Scale, Drooling amount, depression are assessed.
Dystonia is a rare syndrome with varying etiologies. Similarly, tremor conditions refractory to medical management and disabling that they need surgical interventions are rare in our setting. So far there are no randomized controlled trials of pallidotomy for management of dystonia. There is scant literature on the long term efficacy and safety of Pallidotomy, thalamotomy and other such lesioning procedures in the management of movement disorders. The current literature is significantly plagued by publication bias as case reports with successful outcomes are likely to be selectively published in journals or conference abstracts. Lesioning procedures though seem to be effective are often considered to be risky, especially bilateral pallidotomy is not preferred by several centres. However, our center routinely performs simultaneous bilateral pallidotomy. To generate long term data on the efficacy and safety of lesioning procedures in rare diseases like dystonias especially the effect of functional neurosurgery on varying etiologies of the disease, robust registries are required which collect data on all consecutive patients who undergo the procedure.
People with Parkinson's Disease(PD) present a series of alterations such as muscle stiffness and motor slowing, which gradually affect the swinging movement of the arms and legs, altering the ability to walk, increasing the risk of falling, and reducing functionality. This implies a higher energy cost and a greater probability of developing freezing of the gait. Nordic walking (NW) is a form of physical exercise characterized by the use of walking poles, which could contribute positively to arm swing movement and, thus, gait. This clinical trial aims to compare Nordic Walking with free walking (FW) protocol training and investigate their effects on arm swing and gait parameters in people with PD. The study hypothesizes that NW training will reduce asymmetry and increase arm swing amplitudes during gait to a greater extent than FW. Also, improvements in arm swing could positively influence lower limb performance during regular gait, increasing gait speed, stride length, functional mobility, and quality of life. People with PD will complete 24 supervised NW or FW training sessions for 12 weeks. Both trainings will be identical in volume and intensity, the only difference will be the use of poles in the NW group. Blinded researchers will conduct evaluations at baseline (T0), post-intervention (T1), and in one-month follow-up (T2).
The aim of the study is to investigate whether prismatic adaptation (AP), a non-invasive neuromodulation technique, that involves the use of lenses that deviate the visual field, can modulate alexithyima and performance in visuospatial tasks in patients with Parkinson disease. Furthermore, brain activity during the prismatic adaptation and post-adaptation phases will be recorded using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and high-density electroencephalography (HD-EEG).
