Balance problems and falls are among the most common complaints in Veterans with Parkinson's Disease (PD), but there are no effective treatments and the ability to measure balance and falls remains quite poor. This study uses wearable sensors to measure balance and uses deep brain stimulation electrodes to measure electric signals from the brain in Veterans with PD. The investigators hope to use this data to better understand the brain pathways underlying balance problems in PD so that new treatments to improve balance and reduce falls in Veterans with PD can be designed.
The goal of this observational study is to identify targetable neural substrates of depression in Parkinson's Disease for the first time in people with Parkinson's between the ages of 40 and 80, who are experiencing symptoms of depression.
This study was planned to investigate the use and results of virtual reality applications with specially prepared software for the rehabilitation of freezing phenomenon, which increases the falling anxiety of individuals with Parkinson's disease and causes social isolation. Individuals over the age of 50 who have been diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease by a specialist neurologist will be included in the study; Individuals evaluated in terms of balance, functional mobility, freezing phenomenon, participation, and cognitive status will be randomly divided into two groups receiving conventional treatment and additional virtual reality. After the preliminary evaluation, they will receive 8 weeks of treatment 4 days a week and will be evaluated after the treatment and 3 months after the treatment. In addition to the improvements that will emerge as a result of the treatments within the scope of the study, it is expected that the virtual reality application created with crowd simulation will provide more effective results in improving the parameters. Knowing the effects of exercises in crowds, which cannot be performed in the clinic, in the treatment of Parkinson's disease patients, whose freezing and freezing-related symptoms are aggravated, especially in crowded environments, will make significant contributions to the field.
The goal of this mixed methods, user research study is to evaluate the Keep On Keep Up programme for people with Parkinson's (KOKU4PD). The main aims of the study are to: 1. To explore the usability and acceptability of the PD specific KOKU programme from a user and health care professional perspective. 2. To produce a KOKU4PD digital program that is ready for National Health Service (NHS) approval and a future effectiveness evaluation. Participants will use the KOKU4PD app at home for 4 weeks. They will be assessed at baseline and after the 4 weeks to measure aspects of their disease status, mobility, thinking, mood and quality of life. They will also be asked to complete some questionnaires about the usability of the app.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about impulse control disorders in Parkinson's disease patients. The main question: it aims to answer: - Detect Relative frequency of impulse control disorder among Parkinson's disease patients - Detect Relation between impulse control disorders, and other non motor and motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease patients, using clinical, neurophysiological and radiological assessment
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the detection ability of α-Synuclein Ultrafine Fluorescence Detection Method for body fluids (Such as saliva, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, and blood, etc.) and skin in Parkinson's patients.
A Phase IIa, Randomized, Multicenter, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of MT101-5 in Subjects with Early Parkinson's Disease. Primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of MT101-5 400 mg and 600 mg oral tablet total daily dose compared to Placebo in subjects with Parkinson's Disease.
XellSmart Biomedical (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. has closely collaborated with Shanghai East Hospital(East Hospital Affiliated To Tongji University) , using iPSC seed cells, on the development and establishment of a dopaminergic neural precursor cell production system. These iPSC seed cells are sourced from the National Stem Cell Translational Resource Bank in Shanghai East Hospital (East Hospital Affiliated To Tongji University), and the construction of the cell bank is carried out by Shanghai East Hospital. The iPSC seed cell preparation method and testing standards have been certified by National Institutes for Food and Drug Control in China. This study is conducted under collaboration between Shanghai East Hospital and XellSmart Biomedical (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. It is a distinctive stem cell therapy research targeting Parkinson's disease patients, characterized by the following: 1. The first instance in China of using autologous iPSC-derived subtype-specific dopaminergic neural precursor cells for alternative transplantation therapy in Parkinson's disease. 2. Before the initiation of this study, there was only one reported case around the world involving the use of laboratory-grade autologous iPSC-induced dopaminergic neural precursor cells for Parkinson's disease treatment in an American Caucasian individual. Positive preliminary clinical research results were obtained and published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2020. Since then, no similar studies have been reported. It has great significance to conduct this research. It will fill two critical clinical research gaps in stem cell therapy for Parkinson's disease in the world: 1. The use of clinical-grade autologous iPSCs differentiated into dopaminergic neural cells, and treat Parkinson's disease. 2. Evaluating the safety of using autologous iPSC-differentiated dopaminergic neural cells for Parkinson's disease treatment in individuals of Asian descent or Chinese ethnicity.
This is a 6-week exploratory clinical study, designed to test whether treatment with peroneal electrical trans-cutaneous stimulation can have a beneficial effects on symptoms associated with Parkinson's diseases and essential tremor.
