Quantification of Beta Activity in Routine EEG Recordings in Parkinson's Disease Patients
Parkinson DiseaseThe investigators are studying the relationship between a certain oscillatory brain rhythm (13-30 cycles/sec) that emerges prominently in patients with Parkinson's disease and symptoms of slowness of movement. The investigators are recruiting patients with a range of severity of Parkinson's disease symptoms to perform electroencephalography (EEG), in which the study team records brain waves using electrodes placed on the scalp, while patients sit at rest or perform certain hand tasks. The investigators will analyze the recorded brain waves to extract the brain rhythm of interest and relate it to motor symptom severity as well as study its behavior during rest and hand movement.
Exploration of the Mechanism of Movement Improvement During RBD in Parkinson's Disease Using NIRS...
Parkinson DiseaseThe purpose of this study is to confirm the improvement of movement during RBD in Parkinson's disease and to explore the neuronal network involved in this improvement using NIRS.
Follow Up Study for Treatment of Parkinson's Disease With Subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation
Parkinson DiseaseThis study aims to evaluate the long term effect of deep brain stimulation in the the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Prediction of Dementia in Parkinson's Disease by Measuring Cerebral Metabolism With PET Scan
Parkinson DiseaseParkinson's disease (PD) is a common disease. Dementia will affect 80% of these patients during their evolution. In addition, treatments of motor signs have a potential impact on these disorders and conversely. The purpose of this study is to show focal abnormalities in brain metabolism in the precuneus and posterior cingulate region are predictive of the onset of dementia within 2 years.
Adaptive Closed Loop Neuromodulation and Neural Signatures of Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's DiseaseContinuous deep brain stimulation (cDBS) is an established therapy for the major motor signs in Parkinson's disease. Currently, cDBS is limited to "open-loop" stimulation, without real-time adjustment to the patient's state of activity, fluctuations and types of motor symptoms, medication dosages, or neural markers of the disease. The purpose of this study is to determine if an adaptive DBS system, responding to patient specific, clinically relevant neural or kinematic feedback, is efficacious on the motor Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS III) and specific phenotypic measures in Parkinson's Disease compared to OFF therapy (i.e., OFF DBS and withdrawn from medication) and more efficient than cDBS. Not every recruited participant completed every part of the protocol.
Efficacy and Tolerability of Sifrol® (Pramipexole) in Patients With Advanced Idiopathic Parkinson's...

Observational Study in Parkinson's Disease of the Primary Care Population of Patients Treated With...
Parkinson DiseaseThe primary objective of this study was to describe neurologists' population of patients treated with pramipexole and suffering from Parkinson's disease (so called 'primary care' population). The secondary objectives were: Evaluate the mean dose of pramipexole prescribed under actual conditions of use depending on the severity of the disease. Evaluate the reasons for choosing pramipexole as treatment. Identify the patient profiles determining the choice of dose of pramipexole prescribed
Patient- and Caregiver-reported Symptoms and Outcomes With Levodopa/Carbidopa Intestinal Gel for...
Parkinson's DiseasePatient reported outcomes (PRO) have become an important endpoint assessed in clinical trials. It is important to understand the relationship between medication and patients' symptomatology, quality of life and well-being. We predict levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG; Duodopa) will significantly improve quality of life and emotional well-being compared to baseline in patients with advance Parkinson disease (APD) not well controlled with conventional treatment.
Rasagiline Tablets Special Drug Use-Results Survey "Survey on Long-term Safety"
Parkinson's DiseaseThe purpose of this survey is to evaluate the long-term safety of Rasagiline (AZILECT) in patients with Parkinson's disease in daily clinical practice and also collect efficacy information.
Targeting Diet-Microbiome Interactions in the Pathogenesis of Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson DiseaseThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the microbiome of medicated and non-medicated subjects diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Where available, in comparison to the microbiome of a healthy spouse or 1st degree relative.
