Active clinical trials for "Dyskinesias"

This research study is determining if a drug called Pimavanserin if safe and effective in the treatment of the symptoms of Tourette Syndrome. Pimavanserin is an investigational drug for Tourette Syndrome, which means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat Tourette Syndrome. Pimavanserin has been approved by the FDA as a treatment for hallucinations in Parkinson's Disease. It is currently marketed under the name NUPLAZID (pimavanserin) capsules by Acadia Pharmaceuticals.

Scapular dyskinesis is defined as the loss of strength around the scapular muscle, tightness of the pectoralis minor and disruption of scapular movements. Scapular patterns of proprioceptive neuromuscular fasilition (PNF) techniques are often preferred in the rehabilitation of scapular dyskinesis. The main principals of PNF applications are defined as the autogenous inhibition, reciprocal inhibition, stress relaxation and gate control theory.The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of scapular PNF patterns on muscular strength and pectoralis minor tightness among individuals with unilateral scapular dyskinesis.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment with VX-371 with and without ivacaftor, and the effect of VX-371 with and without ivacaftor on quality of life (QOL) in subjects with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether an investigational drug, SD-809 (deutetrabenazine), will reduce the severity of abnormal involuntary movements of tardive dyskinesia.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of NBI-98854 administered once daily for the treatment of Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) symptoms.

This is a 105-week open-label study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ADS-5102 oral capsules, an extended release formulation of amantadine, in Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients with Levodopa Induced Dyskinesia (LID).

The purpose of this study is to generate long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy data for AFQ056 in patients who have participated in and completed any AFQ056 phase II study in PD-LID (Parkinson's disease, L-dopa induced dyskinesias).

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ADX48621 in Parkinson's disease patients following four weeks of dosing. The secondary objectives of the study include the evaluation of the efficacy of ADX48621 compared with placebo in reducing levodopa induced dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson's; the evaluation of the effect of ADX48621 on symptoms of Parkinson's disease and patient ability to function, and the evaluation of the effect of coadministration of ADX48621 on L-dopa efficacy.

Late dyskinetic syndrome with neuroleptics, or tardive dyskinesia, is the appearance of abnormal involuntary movements (AIM) in patients treated with antipsychotics for at least three months. This important public health issue arises for 15-20% of patients treated with neuroleptics, the most prescribed psychotropic drugs in mental disorders in France, and seriously impacts the patients' quality of life. In over 50% of cases, it is irreversible-that is to say that he will persist despite discontinuation of the offending drug. Risk factors have been described: the age and female gender are established, a higher dosage of antipsychotic, a long-term treatment, a psychiatric condition other than schizophrenia are likely risk factors, intermittent treatment, previous acute dyskinesia, neuroleptics or powerful, longer term use of corrective treatments including anticholinergics are still discussed. Apart from preventive treatment, which consists in using antipsychotics as being coerced, support is disappointing: the etiological treatment, which is to stop the offending antipsychotic, is effective only in less than 50% of cases, the syndrome is most often late irreversible. Must still have the possibility to interrupt the treatment, which is usually impossible in the risk of decompensation of the mental illness for which the neuroleptic was prescribed. Remains symptomatic treatment: functional neurosurgery is only for extreme cases, because it is not without risk, in terms of morbidity and mortality. So it's the medication that is most often offered: many drugs have been proposed, a direct result of the multiplicity of neurotransmitter systems implicated. However, in the vast majority of cases, this approach is disappointing not to say ineffective. The only exception is the tetrabenazine, marketed under the name of Xenazine®. Empirically, neurologists specializing in pathology of the movement are almost unanimous: its efficiency is very good, with good tolerance. Some preliminary studies have reinforced this impression. However, their level of evidence remains low and that is why the investigators propose to implement a prospective multicenter clinical trial, double-blind with placebo which will include two groups of 27 patients.

The study is designed to answer the question: will nicotine at doses that do not cause serious side effects, show feasibility in treatment of levodopa-induced dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson's disease?
