Filter by:Parkinson's Foundation Surveys is an initiative seeking to periodically survey people with Parkinson's disease (PD), their care partners and medical professionals to better understand specific aspects of living with PD.
The study's aim is to better understand motivation and value-based decision making in Parkinson's patients through neurophysiology using Medtronic's Percept PC DBS device.
Parkinson Progression Marker Initiative Online (PPMI Online) is an observational study collecting participant reported information from people with and without Parkinson's disease (PD), for the goal of better understanding risk and predictive factors for PD. PPMI Online is part of the broader Parkinson Progression Marker Initiative aimed at identifying markers of disease progression for use in clinical trials of therapies to reduce progression of PD disability.
In the previous studies, progressive resistance training (PRT) has significantly improved the muscle strength and disease severity of Parkinson's disease. However, there is currently no consensus on the impact of PRT on physical function such as balance and walking ability for Parkinson's patients. Therefore, this study focuses on developing a visual feedback system added to the original POWER rehabilitation system, and to investigate whether the training through this "interactive POWER rehabilitation system" can produce the clinical benefits, as well as improving the daily life of patients with Parkinson's disease.
This observational study is designed to collect data on the use of the drug Lecigon® in daily clinical practice. The study is organised and funded by a pharmaceutical company called Britannia Pharmaceuticals Ltd (Britannia). Lecigon® is prescribed by physicians in advanced Parkinson's disease when patients suffer from uncontrollable fluctuations in mobility, so-called motor fluctuations, which cannot be adjusted well with oral treatment, i.e. medication for swallowing. In this study, data on the effect and possible side effects from everyday treatment with Lecigon® will be collected and scientifically evaluated. The study is intended to supplement the results of previous clinical studies with clinical data in routine medical care, collected from approximately 300 patients.
It is a phase II randomized, parallel, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center clinical trial of the efficacy and safety of WD-1603 Carbidopa-Levodopa Extended-Release Tablets in patients with Parkinson's disease. The objective of the study is to access the safety and efficacy of WD-1603 carbidopa-levodopa extended-release tablets in patients with Parkinson's disease.
The aim is to compare the effect of reducing the conventional pulse width or frequency of stimulation for axial symptoms occurring after Subthalamic nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation (STN DBS) treatment. The participants will be assessed with chronic stimulation with conventional stimulation parameters, namely 60 us and 130 Hz, and after random allocation to short pulse width (30 us) or low frequency (80 Hz).
This is an imaging study designed to illuminate the function of the cholinergic system and its association with cognitive skills in people with Parkinson's disease. The hypothesis of this study is that there will be an association between cholinergic terminal density, sex hormones, and cognitive functioning. Participants will receive a PET and MRI scan along with a battery of neurocognitive tests at baseline and again at 18 months follow-up. Hormone levels will be measured at baseline.
Disability due to neurological diseases is increasing in our country and world. With regular physiotherapy and rehabilitation, as well as patients' symptoms are brought under control, their affected functions in daily life are achieved and levels of independence and physical activity increase. Thus, the patients' quality of life and participation in social life is improved and patients are supported in physical, social and psychological terms. In recent years, it has been reported that exercise with telerehabilitation systems increase the compliance and participation of patients to the treatment, and even this system seems as effective as standard rehabilitation practices. Delivering the treatment through telerehabilitation system when that patients cannot receive it in the hospital due to epidemic, restriction, transfer difficulties, personal and environmental limitations will enable patients to receive the rehabilitation services.Telerehabilitation system is frequently encountered in the abroad, but there are limited systems with Turkish version specific to this patient group in our country. The aim of project is to develop and detect the efficiency of a telerehabilitation system which is used to assess, follow and design home-based rehabilitation program among individuals with chronic neurological diseases who have difficulty in participating in physiotherapy and rehabilitation services because of personal or environmental reasons.
This is a feasibility and pilot study. Though large-scale online neurocognitive testing is increasingly being done in psychiatry, there are no such efforts in Parkinson's research. Thus a large part of this pilot study will be to demonstrate feasibility and reliability, and use this experience to develop a feasible protocol for ongoing research. The specific short-term objectives are: 1. To establish the feasibility of performing large-scale deep cognitive phenotyping using online cognitive testing. 2. To demonstrate that online neurocognitive testing is valid and reliable in a smaller sample of locally recruited participants tested both in-lab and online.
