Filter by:This is a Phase 3b, open-label, multicenter trial to assess the safety and tolerability of switching from ropinirole therapy to the rotigotine transdermal system and its effect on symptoms in subjects with idiopathic Parkinson's disease
The goal of this trial is to compare the effect of two different exercise programs on neuro-physiological, motor, functional, and quality-of-life issues in individuals with Parkinson's disease to determine which program is most beneficial.
To find out if a single dose of Parcopa®, a form of levodopa that dissolves in your mouth, works faster than regular oral levodopa which is swallowed, in fluctuating PD patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of deep brain stimulation surgery on movement-related cortical potentials in patients with Parkinson's disease.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of administration of AFQ056 in combination with L-dopa, in reducing the number of L-dopa related dyskinesias in Parkinson's disease patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Fipamezole is effective in the treatment of levodopa-induced dyskinesia in advanced Parkinson's disease.
Determine if a novel levodopa/carbidopa formulation results in a better clinical response on Parkinson's Disease patients compared to the reference formulation of levodopa/carbidopa in terms of motor complications, onset of action and response duration.
Chronic bilateral subthalamic stimulation leads a spectacular clinical improvement in patients with motor complications. However, the post-operative body weight gain involved may limit the benefits of surgery and induce critical metabolic disorder. The aim of this study to determine the energy expenditure in usual conditions of life.
To determine patient satisfaction with group visits versus standard of care delivery for patients with Parkinson's disease.
The purpose of this research study is to examine whether Methylphenidate (MPD) can result in improvement of gait (walking) in a population of Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients whose main disability is freezing of gait. MPD (Ritalin®) is a drug which can excite or stimulate certain systems of the body that control motor function. This drug is FDA approved for the treatment of attention hyperactivity disorder, a condition unrelated to PD. The researchers hypothesize that daily treatment with a tolerable daily oral dose of MPD will improve gait velocity, stride length, cadence, and decrease freezing of gait, 3 months from treatment initiation in patients with moderately advanced PD, whose gait impairment is an important source of disability despite optimized antiparkinsonian treatment.
