The Outcome of Subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation in Advanced Parkinson's Disease and Morphometry...
Parkinson DiseaseThe research will evaluate possible clinical and individual brain topographic features affecting the outcome in subthalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) with patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The patient cohort consists 35 PD patients treated with subthalamic DBS in 2020-2022. The clinical features (such as age, disease duration, response to levodopa in the levodopa challenge test) will be evaluated retrospectively from the medical records and brain topographic features from the preoperative 3 Tesla brain imaging.
An Observational Study of Parkinson's Disease and Other Synucleinopathies (EASE-PD)
Parkinson's DiseaseMultiple System AtrophyThe study is a multi-center, observational study to evaluate the feasibility of α-synuclein-related biomarkers and imaging data in the disease diagnosis and prognosis evaluation in Synucleinopathies and healthy subjects.
Multi-electrodes Set for Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson Disease
Parkinson DiseaseThis study aims to demonstrate innocuity and feasibility of deep brain stimulation with a multi-electrodes set.
Efficacy and Safety of Amantadine Hydrochloride (HCl) ER Tablets to Treat Parkinson's Disease Patients...
Parkinson's DiseaseLevodopa Induced Dyskinesias (LID)This study was terminated early due to slow enrollment with 87 of 162 planned subjects enrolled. The purpose of this multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, 16 week study is to compare the efficacy and safety of two different dose levels of Amantadine Extended Release Tablets to placebo for the treatment of levodopa induced dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Sildenafil (Viagra) for the Treatment of Dyskinesias in Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's DiseaseThis study is to determine if Viagra is effective in reducing dyskinesias in patients with Parkinson's Disease.
Deep Brain Stimulation Effects on Gait and Balance in Patients With Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's DiseaseThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Deep Brain stimulation (DBS) on walking in patients with Parkinson's disease that have had DBS. While DBS improves Parkinson's disease (PD) symptoms and walking in many patients in some of the patients walking problems persist. This study aims to find out what are the best stimulation parameters of the DBS in order to improve walking.
Anxiety in Parkinson's: Use of Quantitative Methods to Guide Rational Treatment
Anxiety DisordersParkinson DiseaseThis study will evaluate the effectiveness of the rotigotine transdermal patch in reducing anxiety in people with Parkinson's disease.
A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of 18 to 24mg/Day Ropinirole Controlled Release (CR) Tablets in...
Parkinson DiseaseThis study is a Phase III, multicentre, randomized, initial double-blind study with subsequent open label phases. The study will havea screening phase (4 weeks), a dose increase effect verification phase (12 weeks), a down titration 1 phase (1 week), a long-term phase (39 weeks), down titration 2 phase (1 to 2 weeks) and a follow up phase. Subjects will be assigned to Ropinirole CR high-dose group or Ropinirole CR maintenance group at a ratio of 3:1. This study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy (effect of increasing Ropinirole dose from 16 mg/day to 18-24 mg/day) of the Ropinirole CR tablets in early and advanced PD patients who have not achieved an optimal therapeutic response with marketed Ropinirole Immediate release (IR) (15 mg/day) or marketed Ropinirole CR (16 mg/day) formulations.
An Active-Controlled Extension Study to NCT01155466 [P04938] and NCT01227265 [P07037] (P06153)
Parkinson DiseaseIdiopathic Parkinson DiseaseThe primary purpose of this extension study is to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of preladenant in participants from parent studies NCT01155466 [P04938] and NCT01227265 [P07037] with moderate to severe Parkinson's Disease (PD). The study will also characterize the long-term efficacy of preladenant in participants with PD. Participants will continue to receive their stable regimen of levodopa (L-dopa) plus any adjunct medications during the study as prescribed by their physician. Several classes of adjunct medications may be used, including Amantadine, anticholinergics, dopa decarboxylase inhibitors, and dopamine agonists.
Agricultural Health Study Follow-up
AsthmaParkinson's DiseaseBackground: - The Agricultural Health Study (AHS) is looking at the long-term health effects of farming exposures including pesticides, crops, and animals. The chronic health effects of exposure to pesticides are easier to study in farmers and their spouses. They know what chemicals they use and tend to live in the same place for most of their adult lives. AHS participants are expected to report any changes in their health. This includes any new medical conditions. Researchers want to follow up on these reports to confirm their accuracy. Objectives: - To follow up AHS participants who have self-reported that they have a new disease and confirm their diagnosis. Eligibility: - Current AHS participants. Design: Researchers will confirm self-reported changes in medical conditions by contacting the AHS participant to ask for more information. The AHS participant will give permission for researchers to contact their doctor to look at their medical records. They will also be asked to provide a cheek swab or saliva sample. Diseases of interest are rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and Sjogren s Syndrome. Other diseases will be followed up in the future. Other diseases will be followed up in the future.
