Active clinical trials for "Parkinson Disease"

This trial will evaluate the effects of Lu AF28996 in adult Japanese men and women with Parkinson's disease (PD). The main goals of the trial are to learn more about a) the safety and tolerability of Lu AF28996 (any new or worsening medical issues the participants have with treatment), and b) the pharmacokinetic parameters of Lu AF28996 (how the drug is absorbed, distributed, and processed by the body). Participants will take Lu AF28996 capsules orally once a day (OD). The participants will start with a low dose of Lu AF28996, which will be increased gradually over a period of 2 weeks, and then decreased gradually over a period of about 2 weeks.

The main objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of 10 sessions of transcranial direct current stimulation of the primary motor cortex to reduce levodopa-induced dyskinesia

This study aims to test the feasibility and acceptability of home-based motor-motor dual-task training and motor-cognitive dual-task training interventions, and balance-related outcome measures which may be used in an anticipated future randomized control trial intended to determine the superiority of these dual-task training interventions.

This is an open-label, non-randomized, proof-of-concept comparison of clinical vs. research stimulation patterns in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) being treated with Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) through the Medtronic Percept PC DBS device. The investigators hypothesize that stimulation patterns designed to better target excessive synchrony in a patient-tailored manner may result in more efficient and effective therapy with fewer side effects. Medtronic 3rd-generation sensing implantable neural stimulator, Percept PC, is FDA-approved for treating PD. The Percept PC device features BrainSense, the first and only available sensing technology for deep brain stimulation. BrainSense technology allows the device to capture and record brain signals (local field potentials, or LFP) using the brain-implanted DBS lead, while simultaneously delivering therapeutic stimulation. Investigators plan to enroll and complete investigations in 15 study subjects total, who have been previously implanted with the Medtronic Percept PC for the treatment of PD, and who are optimized for clinical stimulation and anti-Parkinsons medication. Investigations will be performed in UNMC Movement Disorders Clinic, UNMC Neurosurgery Lab, and UNO Biomechanics Research Building, Gait Lab. Subjects will receive research stimulation patterns and the effect on PD motor symptoms will be assessed via Unified Parkinsons Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS)-part III and gait measures. Videotaping of patient UPDRS-III testing and gait will be obtained.

This is a double-blinded, controlled, randomized clinical trial (RCT) to establish the safety and efficacy of a non-invasive neuromodulation device for treating symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease.

The study aims to assess the efficacy of auditory slow-wave sleep (SWS) enhancement in PD patients and patients with amnestic MCI. Patients will be randomized to two groups: Group 1 will first be treated with auditory stimulation for two weeks and then - after a washout period - switched to two weeks of sham stimulation. Group 2 will first receive sham stimulation for two weeks and then - after a washout period - switch to two weeks of auditory stimulation treatment. The washout period in between will be 2-4 weeks.

This trial aims to test the feasibility of Magnetic Seizure Therapy (MST) for Depression in patients diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the dorsal region of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is very effective for reducing motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Modeling studies suggest that this therapy may result in current spread into the ventral STN, causing altered cognitive processes. As a result, current stimulation parameters often lead to worsening in verbal fluency, executive function, and, particularly, cognitive control. There is evidence suggesting that low frequency oscillatory activity occurs across brain circuits important in integrating information for cognition. Preclinical studies and human recording studies indicate these low frequency theta oscillations drive cognitive control during cognitive tasks. Thus, the purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of low frequency stimulation (LFS) of the ventral STN alongside standard high frequency stimulation (HFS) of the dorsal STN in patients with PD.

This is a randomized, double-blind, single center, phase 2 study to assess efficacy and safety of multiple allogeneic HB-adMSCs vs Placebo for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson's patients suffer from respiratory distress for different reasons. It is thought that physiotherapy methods that have an indirect effect on the diaphragm can improve respiratory functions. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of spinal mobilization and diaphragmatic breathing techniques on respiratory function.
