Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether pramipexole and bromocriptine are effective in the treatment of non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's Disease.
The potential role of Small bowel bacterial overgrowth (SBBO) in weight loss occurring in patients with PD has not previously been examined. Our hypothesis is that SBBO is an important contributor to the development of weight loss in individuals with Parkinson's disease. The investigators propose to 1) examine the role of SBBO in weight loss occurring in patients with PD and 2) determine the response to its treatment with a poorly absorbed antibiotic. The investigators propose to perform a prospective, observational case-control study with an open-label therapeutic component. Cases will be defined as those PD patients who've experienced significant weight loss while Controls will be defined as those PD patients who have not experienced significant weight loss.
To study associate factor of Noctural Parkinson's Disease Symptoms and quality of life in Parkinson's disease patients and caregivers.
The purpose of this study is to fulfil regulatory requirements for registration of a new chemical entity in China. Rasagiline is approved for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease (PD) in Europe and the US. Rasagiline is safe and well tolerated in healthy subjects, and the efficacy and safety has been demonstrated in placebo- and active comparator-controlled phase III studies.
This randomized, controlled trial (RCT) evaluates the benefits of memory and problem solving training compared to supportive therapy in individuals with Parkinson's Disease with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and their support persons. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive memory and problem solving training or supportive therapy for 2-months. A 6-month follow up evaluation will establish if benefits remain over time. Impact of these therapies on thinking abilities, physical health, and patient and support person ratings of thinking skills, mood and quality of life will be evaluated. The memory and problem solving training is hypothesized to result in greater improvements and/or stability of function on neuropsychological tests of attention, working memory, learning, and memory skills compared to the supportive therapy condition. Both conditions are hypothesized to result in improved mood and quality of life ratings. Results from this study will determine whether memory and problem solving therapies and supportive therapy are easily used by and beneficial for individuals with Parkinson's Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment. If positive benefit is observed, information from this study will be used to further optimize these therapies for larger trials designed to evaluate the value of the therapies for individuals with Parkinson's Disease and their support persons.
This project is investigating whether a one-year in-home exercise program will reduce the rate of falls and improve strength and quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease.
The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of how exercise training affects motor/hand function and brain function in those diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. The investigators want to study if exercise will improve hand function and improve the level of brain activity.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of selected Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) techniques on the respiratory system of people with Parkinson's Disease (PD) in comparison to light touch. Effectiveness will be measured through pulmonary function tests, chest wall expansion, and voice analysis. Selected subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups: OMM treatment group or light touch group. Although OMM treatment has been used on PD patients, a randomized controlled study has not been done to establish its effect on PD respiratory function. The authors believe that this study will show OMM's effectiveness.
A double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study of the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple ascending oral doses of V81444 in healthy male volunteers
The primary objective of this trial is to establish the maximum maintenance dose of SPM 962 in patients with Parkinson's disease in a multi-center, uncontrolled, open-label study by conducting safety evaluation of each patient following once-daily transdermal doses of SPM 962 within a range of 4.5 to 36.0 mg. (The administration period will consist of a standard 8-week dose-titration period, 4-week dose-maintenance period, and a dose de-escalation period) Exploratory evaluation of each patient's maintenance dose will also be conducted with attention to patient safety. The relationship of pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy will also be examined.
