Active clinical trials for "Parkinson Disease"

A study to test the therapeutic benefit of the compound PYM50028, versus placebo, in treating early-stage Parkinson's disease. Therapeutic benefit will be assessed using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). It is hypothesised that PYM50028 will be safe and well tolerated in this study and demonstrate therapeutic benefit in this patient population.

The objective of this study was to assess the single dose bioequivalence of Roxane's Ropinirole Tablets, 0.25 mg to ReQuip Tablets, 0.25 mg (GlaxoSmithKline) under fasting conditions using a single-dose, randomized, 2-treatment, 2-period, 2-sequence cross-over design.

The primary objective of this study was to demonstrate that Rotigotine improves non-motor symptoms compared to Placebo in subjects with Parkinson's Disease.

Behavioral Treatments for Anxiety and Depression (BehTA-D) is a research study for anxiety and depression in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). The research clinicians try to teach skills that may help participants cope with anxiety and depression in the context of Parkinson's disease. Research clinicians will also discuss ways improve management of Parkinson's symptoms. Other skills taught include how to relax, change thinking, add in meaningful pleasant activity.

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study of E2007 in levodopa treated Parkinson's disease patients with motor fluctuations.

This study aims to collect, analyze and preserve biospecimens from patients with or without LRRK2-associated Parkinson's Disease for the purpose of discovering and developing new treatments and novel biomarkers.

This study aims to assess the therapeutic role of rTMS on parkinson's patients with depression. Patients diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and depression will be recruited. All patients will be admitted and will be allocated randomly into two groups one of which will receive real sessions of high frequency rTMS for left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) for 10 consecutive sessions totally over period of 10 days with repeated booster sessions every month during the period of follow up. The other will receive sham sessions.

The purpose of this study is the development and early-stage validation of a wearable sensor for dysphagia in patients with PD.

Older adults, and particularly those with Parkinson disease (PD), may experience walking difficulties that negatively impact their daily function and quality of life. This project will examine the impact of music and mentally singing on walking performance, with a goal of understanding what types of rhythmic cues are most helpful. Our pilot work suggests that imagined, mental singing (i.e., singing in your head) while while walking helps people walk faster with greater stability, whereas walking to music also helps people walk faster but with reduced stability. In Aim 1, the investigators will compare walking while mentally singing to walking while listening to music, using personalized cues tailored to each person's walking performance. The investigators hypothesize stride time variability will be less in the mental singing condition compared to listening to music; and that mental singing and listening to music will improve gait speed similarly as compared to the uncued condition. The investigators will also test whether finger tapping, a rhythmic task similar to walking in many ways, responds similarly while mentally singing and listening to music. In Aim 2, the investigator will investigate the brain mechanisms underlying the enhancements in movement performance seen with mental signing or listening to music. The investigators will use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure brain activity during finger tapping with and without various cues to understand which areas of the brain are more or less responsive to the cues. The investigators hypothesize individuals with PD will exhibit lesser activation of putamen and greater activation of cortical motor areas and cerebellum compared to controls in all tapping conditions; and internal, mental singing during tapping will elicit greater activation of the putamen and lesser activation of cortical motor areas in both groups compared to uncued tapping and tapping while listening to music.

The objective of this study is to further the understanding and application of 60Hz subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) in Parkinson's patients with gait disorder. The investigators will achieve this through 2 study aims: Determine the impact of 60Hz subthalamic deep brain stimulation on gait kinematics using wearable sensors Develop machine learning models to predict optimal subthalamic deep brain stimulation frequency based on wearable sensors
