Filter by:This study will evaluate an oral fixed-dose, once daily product that combines pramipexole and rasagiline for the treatment of early Parkinson's disease. Animal studies support the therapeutic advantage of combining low doses of rasagiline and pramipexole and suggest further improvement when both are administered in a sustained fashion. Both rasagiline and pramipexole are well known marketed drugs for Parkinson's disease with a good safety profile. combining the drugs in low doses and controlled release may provide better symptom management than the existing drugs alone or together.
The objective of this trial is to investigate the PK (Pharmacokinetic) of repeated-dose applications of the Rotigotine transdermal patch in healthy young male and female Korean subjects to be submitted to MFDS for new drug application approval.
Verifying the efficiency of motor training associated with visual and auditory cues on the balance, and postural anticipatory and compensatory adjustments of patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD), for prevent fall rate in people with PD. It is a single blinded, randomized clinical trial performed at Center of Research of the courses of Speech Therapy, Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy of São Paulo University.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of resources during titration of Duodopa at home.
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of different parameters (voltage, pulse width, frequency) of subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) on motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).
The primary objective of this study is to determine if the diagnostic performance of DaTscan™ single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging is different in non-Caucasian subjects compared with Caucasian subjects with movement disorders.
The posterior subthalamic area holds promise as a target region for deep brain stimulation in tremor and Parkinson's disease. Using the magnetic resonance-directed implantable guide tube surgical technique, subregions of the posterior subthalamic area can be individually targetted on a single electrode lead trajectory. The hypothesis is that the caudal zona incerta may provide improved control of movement disorder symptoms than the more commonly stimulated dorsal zona incerta.
Primary aim is to conduct a pilot trial to determine: 1. The feasibility and efficiency of randomisation procedures and study design 2. If recruitment rates are sufficient to adequately power a larger trial The secondary aim is to determine the efficiency of set dancing in comparison to a control for people with Patkinson's disease.
The purpose of this project is to develop and pilot-test a guided cognitive-behavioral self-help program for mild-to-moderate depression in Parkinson's disease (dPD). We will pilot-test the guided self-help treatment on 20 people with PD and their caregivers. The manual will be revised based on participant feedback. Several feasibility measures regarding the guided self-help program (i.e., recruitment, retention, enjoyment, helpfulness, adherence) will also be assessed. Moreover, preliminary estimates of effect size for this guided self-help program will be calculated and used in future research. We hypothesize that people with PD will report decreases in depression, anxiety, and negative thoughts and improvements in quality life and sleep and that caregivers will report decreases in burden after participating in the guided self-help program
The stimulation frequency has been found to affect the axial symptoms of freezing of gait (FOG) and speech in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN DBS), with the traditionally high stimulation frequency of 130 Hz worsening while low frequency of 60 Hz improving these symptoms. The effect of stimulation frequency on another important axial symptom, swallowing dysfunction, has not been studied. The investigators hypothesize that stimulation frequency could have similar effect on swallowing function.
