Active clinical trials for "Parkinson Disease"

Patients with Idiopathic Parkinson's disease have balance and gait problems due to sensory and motor impairments. In the literature, there are lots of studies including various approaches for rehabilitation of these parameters such as sensory interventions, conservative treatments, neurophysiological approaches and motor imagery. However, taking into account of literature, there is no study investigating the effects on balance and gait of cervical mobilization by stimulating proprioceptors and vestibular receptors. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the acute effect of cervical mobilization on balance and gait in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease.

The purpose of study is to demonstrate the pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of E2027 on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in participants with DLB and PDD with and without amyloid copathology after 9 weeks of treatment.

The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of constraint induced movement therapy on hand and arm functions in Parkinson's disease patients. It was a randomized controlled trial, conducted in physical therapy department of University of Lahore Teaching Hospital, Mayo Hospital and Lahore General Hospital. 40, male and female Parkinson's disease patients aged between 50-80 years were randomly allocated into two equal groups. In experimental group patients were treated with constraint induced movement therapy and routine physical therapy and in control group patients were treated with routine physical therapy. Patients were treated for a total of 4 weeks, 6 hours in a day. Patients were assessed using Frenchay Arm Test (FAT). SPSS 25 was used to analyze the data.

This study aims to assess the efficacy of custom-made shoe insoles, for subjects with Parkinson's Disease (PD). To do that, a sample of PD subjects has been randomly assigned to an intervention group that will receive the custom-made insoles or a control group that will receive a sham insole without any specific manufacturing. Both groups will receive Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy according to PD rehabilitation guidelines. The principal outcome will be the Time Up&Go test time, secondary outcomes 10 Meters Walking test speed, Berg Balance Scale score, SF12 score, and orthesis liking.

Is treatment with the Leap Motion Controller device effective for upper limb functionality in individuals with Parkinson's Disease? The present study presents two hypotheses: True hypothesis: There is an improvement in the functionality of MMSS after intervention with virtual reality? Null hypothesis: There is no improvement in the functionality of MMSS after intervention with virtual reality? The proposed work will be characterized as a Randomized Clinical Trial, with evaluators outside the experimental groups (single-blind). The sample will be probabilistic, from individuals diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive, degenerative movement disorder that is characterized by motor and nonmotor symptoms and its incidence increases with age. It has been reported that 40-90% of patients have pain symptoms in PD. Pain can be the result of motor fluctuations, dystonic muscle contractions, deep visceral pain, and musculoskeletal pain.

The purpose of the study will investigate the safety and effectiveness with eight-week cycling-cognitive dual-task training for early Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the world, considering the central nervous system disorders that affect movement. In addition to motor impairment, the literature reinforces changes in ventilatory parameters, such as restrictive lung dysfunction, obstructive airway disease, and upper airway obstruction. Pulmonary disorders are more evident in patients in later and advanced stages of PD, and are responsible for most of the morbimortalities resulting from the disease. Objectives: To evaluate the effects of a protocol of diaphragmatic awareness, in association with the global exercises, on the pulmonary function of individuals with Parkinson's disease. Methods: This is an experimental, uncontrolled clinical trial. Participants are patients with Parkinson's disease referred for care at the UEAFTO / CER-II UEPA neurofunctional outpatient clinic whose records will be consulted for the collection of epidemiological data and postural assessment of cognitive functions through protocol Montreal Cognitive Assessment (Brazilian experimental version) and classification by modified Hoehn and Yahr scale. Those who meet the inclusion criteria will be evaluated through the evaluation form, Pulmonary Functional Status and Dyspnea Questionnair protocol, submitted to Pulmonary Function Test and respiratory muscle strength assessment by Spirometry and Manovacuometry, respectively. They will be submitted to an intervention protocol prepared by the physiotherapy team of UEPA's Elderly Care Center for 20 sessions lasting 60 minutes twice a week, consisting of global exercises and diaphragmatic awareness, being re-evaluated in the 10th and 20th sessions. The protocol used will be registered in the Clinical Trials database. All participants will sign a Free and Informed Consent Form and the research will be submitted to analysis by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the University of the State of Pará (UEPA). The data collected will be tabulated in a Microsoft Excel 2016® worksheet for further statistical analysis using BioEstat® 5.3 software. Expected results: obtain an improvement in the variables related to pulmonary function in the experimental group after the application of the intervention protocol and in relation to the control group.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of osteopathic manipulations added to an intensive, multidisciplinary rehabilitative (MIRT) program on postural control of PD-PS patients.

This is a 44-week, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, single-center, phase 1 clinical trial consisting of a dose-escalation Part A study in healthy participants, followed by a Part B in participants with Parkinson's disease with a selected doses from Part A.
