Filter by:Parkinson's disease patients may have severe non-motor symptoms. A common and troublesome non-motor symptom is pain. Currently these symptoms are treated with medication with limited success. Our study aims to determine whether relaxation guided imagery can alleviate pain in Parkinson's disease patients.
The purpose of this study is to examine the long-term effect of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for patients with Parkinson's Disease. We have data for patients operated with DBS since 1998. We wish to examine the effect of stimulation on motor symptoms as well as make a follow-up on complications and side-effects related to treatment. We also wish to follow-up on the quality of life-studies made in the years 2003-2008.
In Italy affected people are 200,000 and every year Parkinson new cases are 10,000. Aging is the principle risk factor of Parkinson with the possibility of its development doubling every five years after 65. Because of the increase of the social longevity and aging as the main risk factor, there are many repercussions on the health system (hospital stays and pharmaceutical costs) as on the social system (assistance- related problems). Parkinson's disease exerts an extremely negative impact on life's quality of the patient. In fact, because of Parkinson symptoms (tremor, dribble, etc), patient's social life will be reduced with the consequent development of the depression. Consequently, the early detection and treatment of Parkinson's is necessary. To achieve this goal, Apolipoprotein D (ApoD) in human serum as a marker of the oxidative stress-inflammation vicious cycle seems most promising candidate for diagnosis.
The primary objective of the study is to determine the utility of blood plasma infrared spectroscopy (biospectroscopy) in distinguishing subjects with idiopathic Parkinson's disease from healthy controls.
The researchers investigated the effectiveness and safety of BoNT/A injected into the detrusor muscle in patients with PD and MSA all of whom had detrusor muscle overactivity unresponsive to conventional medical therapy.
The purpose of this study is to longitudinally follow consenting clinical trial participants who participated in PRECEPT (A Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled, Dose Finding Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of CEP 1347 in Patients With Early Parkinson's Disease). The study will assess the clinical and imaging outcomes relevant to the natural history of Parkinson's disease (PD), as well as determine early biomarkers of the disease.
The purpose of this study is to detect possible changes in the electrical activity of the Basal Ganglia related to sedation during deep brain stimulation surgery.
The purpose of this study is to identify genetic, biochemical, and clinical factors that are associated with disease severity in people with Gaucher disease and other lysosomal storage disorders. There is a vast spectrum of clinical manifestations in people with Gaucher disease as well as other lysosomal storage disorders. This study will evaluate patients with lysosomal disorders on an outpatient or inpatient basis in order to better characterize the clinical, genetic, and pathophysiological features of these disorders. Participants will be re-evaluated on an annual basis....
