Active clinical trials for "Parkinson Disease"

This study evaluates the safety and tolerability of CDNF in patients with Parkinson's disease, when dosed directly into the brain using an implanted investigational drug delivery system (DDS). Safety and accuracy of the DDS is also being evaluated. One-third of the patients will receive monthly infusions with placebo and two-third of the patients will receive monthly infusions with either mid- or high-doses of CDNF for a period of 6 months.

The present study seeks to examine the efficacy of multi-session transcranial direct current stimulation applied over the primary motor cortex in people with Parkinson's disease on sequential motor learning performance.

Objective of this study is to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of KDT-3594 in patients with early Parkinson's disease without a concomitant medication of L-dopa.

The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of a novel motor-cognitive home training intervention using eHealth technology among people with Parkinson's Disease

To investigate the neural mechanism of Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) Pallidothalamic Tractotomy in Parkinson's disease through multi-model MRI, and identify imaging biomarkers for triaging candidates and predicting the clinical outcomes. Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most progressive neurodegenerative disease with many motor and non-motor symptoms, which brings heavy burden to the family and the society. MRgFUS pallidothalamic tractotomy allows to address all symptoms of PD without skull opening and with very limited tissue ablation, but with varying effectiveness. The unknown pathogenesis of PD has greatly contributed to this variance. Therefore, in order to optimize the clinical application of MRgFUS pallidothalamic tractotomy, it is important to reveal the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease by using multiple modality MRI methods, and identify imaging biomarkers to triage suitable candidates and predict clinical outcomes.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of static posturography-assisted biofeedback exercises in PD-related balance disorder.

A 28-day phase 2a, double-blind, placebo-controlled (1:1), multi-center study of 20 mg NE3107, twice daily of safety, potential drug-drug interactions, and MDS-UPDRS defined activity in patients with Parkinson's disease . Study will enroll 40 patients that are currently taking immediate release levodopa/ carbidopa (IRLC) and have a practically defined early morning off-state for IRLC. Day one- baseline UPDRS and IRLC PK sampling; day 2- start NE3107 dosing, assess UPDRS during onset and NE3107 PK sampling, rescue meds as needed after 4 hours; day 3 and 14- NE3107 + IRLC UPDRS assessment and PK sampling; day 28- NE3107 + IRLC UPDRS assessments. Optional overnight stays in clinic prior to Day 1-3, 14, and 28.

This study is to evaluate the effictiveness and safety of Ly03003 following intramuscular injections

Pisa Syndrome (PS) is a lateral trunk flexion frequently associated to Parkinson's disease (PD). The management of PS is still a challenge for the clinician, because it poorly responds to anti-parkinsonian drugs, and the improvement achieved with neurorehabilitation or botulinum toxin injections tends to fade in 6 months or less. Transcranial direct current stimulation (t-DCS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique, with promising results in movement disorders. Aim of our study is to evaluate the role of bi-hemispheric t-DCS as add-on to neurorehabilitation in PS. Twenty-eight patients affected by PD and PS were managed with a 4-week hospital neurorehabilitation programme and randomized to: 1) t-DCS group: 5 daily sessions (20 minutes - 2 mA) with cathode over the primary motor cortex (M1) contralateral to PS, and anode over the M1 cortex ipsilateral to PS; or 2) sham group. Patients were tested with kinematic analysis of trunk movement in static and dynamic conditions, UPDRS-III, FIM, and VAS for lumbar pain rating at hospital admission (T0), at hospital discharge (end of neurorehabilitation - T1), and 6 months later (T2). At T0, the evaluations were completed by an EMG study of trunk muscles activation.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of simultaneous application of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and treadmill gait training for gait function recovery in Parkinson's disease patients with gait impairment.
