Active clinical trials for "Parkinson Disease"

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of two different multiple-dose regimens of nebicapone in comparison to placebo and entacapone 200 mg on the pharmacokinetics of levodopa in Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of three single oral doses of nebicapone (50 mg, 100 mg and 200 mg) on the levodopa pharmacokinetics when administered in combination with a single-dose of controlled release levodopa 100 mg/benserazide 25 mg (Madopar® HBS 125).

The purpose of this study is: To determine the rate and routes of excretion of BIA 3-202 and the mass balance in urine and faeces To determine the kinetics of total radioactivity in blood To determine the kinetics of total radioactivity in plasma To determine the kinetics of BIA 3-202 and its metabolites in plasma

There is a high prevalence of OAB symptoms among patients with Parkinson's disease and a lack of pharmacotherapies with an acceptable side effect profile. Specifically, available anticholinergic medications have a high risk of cognitive side-effects, which preclude their use in PD patients with CI. PD can also cause a number of non-motor symptoms that are likely to be adversely affected by the currently available anticholinergic agents. Mirabegron is the first pharmacologic treatment which may not exacerbate CI, constipation, orthostatic hypotension (OH), somnolence, and dry mouth in PD.

The primary aim of the proposed project is to characterize dual tasking (DT) deficits to improve motor, cognitive, and quality of life outcomes in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Phase 1 of the intervention will involve an in-depth gait analysis on 15 individuals with PD. This gait analysis will utilize the Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (CAREN) system, a virtual reality system with a fully integrated 3-D motion capture system. The purpose of Phase 1 is to generalize characteristics of gait and postural control during specific DT conditions. Phase 2 (N=20) involves the clinical translation of these findings. This phase will involve creating a clinical intervention based on the objective information gathered the CAREN system. The intervention will take place 3x/week for a total of 8 weeks. Interventional groups will include: 1) DT clinical group (N=10) and 2) Single task group (N=10). Outcome measures will be used at the beginning and end of the intervention to assess the feasibility and efficacy of the intervention.

Gait and balance disorders, key contributors to fall and poor quality of life, represent a major therapeutic challenge in Parkinson's disease (PD). Despite the widespread use of acupuncture in recent years in PD, its efficacy remains unclear, largely due to methodological flaws and lack of high quality studies using objective outcome measures. In a patient and assessor-blind pilot study, investigators objectively assess the efficacy of electroacupuncture (EA) for gait and balance disorders using body-worn sensor technology in patients with PD.

The primary objective of this study is to examine the effect of LCIG relative to that of OMT on NMS associated with PD.

An Open-Label Phase 3 Study to Examine the Long-Term Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of APL-130277 for the Acute Treatment of "OFF" Episodes in Patients With Parkinson's Disease

Primary Objective: To compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) of single and multiple doses of IPX203 with Immediate release carbidopa-levodopa (IR CD-LD) in subjects with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). Secondary Objectives: To compare the pharmacodynamics of single and multiple doses of IPX203 with IR CD-LD. To compare the efficacy of IPX203 with IR CD-LD following multiple doses. To evaluate the safety of IPX203.

This study will evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of DA-9701 with domperidone in patients with Parkinson's disease
