Filter by:There is growing interest for physical activity in Parkinson's disease in order to improve mobility and function of these patients. It seems from previous studies that difficulty, intensity and specificity of physical exercises are important parameters conditioning the effect of physical activity on cerebral plasticity and clinical improvement. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the benefits of a Personalized Physical Activity coaching program, including scheduled and frequent follow up associated with progressive readaptation of exercise intensity depending on individual performances (during 3 months), versus free practice of physical activity in Parkinson's disease.
ETHNODYNE VISIO is a food supplement composed of an innovative plant-based active ingredient acting alongside vitamin B2. It is proposed in patients with visual problems. Based on clinical and experimental data, the investigators propose a pilot open study in order to test the efficacy of "Ethnodyne visio" in patients with Parkinson 's disease (PD). The hypothesis is that Ethnodyne visio may improve motor and non motor signs of PD. 24 patients with PD will be evaluated before and after 3 months of add on treatment by Ethnodyne visio.
This study is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, 2-way crossover study to evaluate the safety of CVT-301 levodopa (l-dopa) when co- administered with the first daily dose of oral levodopa/carbidopa for early morning OFF symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).
Impulse control disorders (ICD) are frequent in Parkinson's Disease. Neurobiological substrates of these symptoms are largely unknown. The investigators aim to explore mesocorticolimbic pathway in Parkinson's disease patients with impulse control disorders (ICD) using an MRI technique called tensor diffusion imaging (DTI). More precisely, the main purpose is to demonstrate that fractional anisotropy (FA) (data obtained with DTI) in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) is different between patients with ICD and patients without ICD. Secondary objectives are to demonstrate a difference in volume of VTA, in FA in others structures included in reward system (prefrontal cortex, nucleus accumbens, amygdala), and in number of fibers between VTA and the other structures of reward system between this two groups. Other objective is to measure and compare these same variables between Parkinson's patients and healthy controls. We hypothesized that a denervation of mesocorticolimbic pathway predisposes Parkinson's patients to ICD.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative brain disorder that impairs the ability to perform functions such as grooming, dressing, cooking, and other activities of daily living. PD affected between 4.1 and 4.6 million people worldwide in 2005, and it is projected that up to 9.3 million people will be affected by 2030. Although current pharmacological therapies provide beneficial effects on motor symptoms of the disease (tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia), intolerable disability eventually develops in most patients. A disease-modifying therapy that slows disease progression is a major unmet medical need in PD. Numerous agents have neuroprotective effects in pre-clinical laboratory models, but none have been shown to have indisputable disease-modifying effects in clinical trials for patients with PD. The purpose of this research study is to investigate how the brain and motor behavior changes in PD over time in response to rasagiline which is a monoamine oxidase-B(MAO-B) inhibitor. The drug rasagiline will be tested in this study as the MAO-B inhibitor. Rasagiline has been prescribed for many years to treat symptomatic Parkinson's disease. It is FDA approved for the treatment of Parkinson's disease but has not been shown to slow disease progression. The outcome and impact of this study will provide the first evaluation of MAO-B inhibitors at slowing the progression of the nigrostriatal pathway using advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) methods in PD.
Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease affecting about 1-3% of population above 60 years. Recently, non-motor symptoms are getting more attention in PD management. The pattern of PD onset and clinical course differ from one population to another. Many studies have been conducted to determine the clinical profile of PD in populations worldwide. However, no similar studies have been conducted in Egypt. Therefore, the investigators will conduct a nation-wide, collaborative, cross sectional study to determine the pattern of Parkinson's disease onset, clinical course, and non-motor symptoms among Egyptian population.
This study investigates the central mechanisms of Overactive Bladder (OAB) in Patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD). The plan is to enroll 10 adults with Parkinson's disease and Overactive bladder (PD + OAB) and 10 adults with Parkinson's disease only (PD). Both groups will undergo fMRI (functional MRI).
This is a multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled parallel group clinical study. Following a screening period of up to 28 days, eligible subjects will be randomized to receive adjunct treatment to oral LD/DDI (Dopa Decarboxylase Inhibitor) with continuous subcutaneous infusion of ND0612 or matching placebo for 16 weeks.
Explore the benefit of the game-based virtual reality system in improving lower extremity kinematics and balance in patients suffering from disease/disorders including Diabetes, Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, Arthritis, Parkinson's disease, Cognitive Disorders, Brain Injury, Stroke or Frailty. A four to six weeks of training with 2 training session/week will be provided.
The purpose of this study is to the effect of three single oral doses of nebicapone (50 mg, 100 mg and 200 mg) on the levodopa pharmacokinetics when administered in combination with a single-dose of controlled release levodopa 200 mg/carbidopa 50 mg (Sinemet CR 200/50).
