Fesoterodine on Urgency Episodes in Parkinson's Disease Population

Urinary BladderOveractive1 more

Parkinson's disease (PD) causes several non-motor autonomic symptoms including lower urinary tract dysfunction. Their symptoms can be managed with antimuscarinics with variable efficacy. Fesoterodine offers a new therapeutic molecule to target the symptoms of urinary frequency, urgency and nocturia in this patient population. The purpose of this protocol is to compare the impact of fesoterodine to placebo on urinary urgency and nocturnal sleep problems in a heterogeneous population of PD patients in a cross-over fashion. A representative number of patients with baseline overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms and Parkinson's disease will be recruited to receive either the active drug or placebo for the first phase of eight weeks. The groups will then be crossed-over during the second phase of eight weeks. The main outcomes assessed will be the urgency episodes on a 3-day voiding diary, as well as the nocturnal sleep problems will be the Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale (PDSS).

tDCS in Parkinson's Disease With Depression

DepressionParkinson's

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disease that has effects on both movement and mental health. One of the most common mental health complications of PD is depression. Up to 30% of Parkinson's patients will experience depression at some point. We aim to investigate whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a type of electrical stimulation for the brain, can improve depression in PD as well as improve motor function in PD.

Parkinson's Disease Exercise TMS PET Study

Parkinson Disease

The therapeutic effects of exercise in Parkinson's disease (PD) are commonly reported, however the mechanisms are unknown. The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential mechanisms of exercise in the brain for the treatment of PD.

Tryptophan Depletion in PD Patients Treated With STN DBS

Parkinson's Disease

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of tryptophan depletion on mood and behavior in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN). By doing this, the investigators hope to be able to identify risk factors for and mechanisms underlying psychiatric side effects of STN DBS. The study will be an intervention study with a placebo controlled, randomized cross-over design.

Study of the Effects of Three Exercise Programs in Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson Disease

Introduction: Population aging is associated with increased prevalence of chronic diseases. Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the world population, affecting motor function and functional independence progressively. The physiological aging promotes the gradual reduction of body weight, lung function, peripheral muscle strength, cardiopulmonary endurance and physical capacity, which increase the debilitating effects. Aging, when associated with PD, can induce loss of functionality, postural changes, further affecting the nutritional status, worsening the quality of life and functional independence of the individual. Although physical therapy is commonly applied with a variety of methodologies to PD patients, evidence for the effectiveness of these interventions is lacking. Objective: The primary objective of the study is to compare the effects of Functional Training, Stationary Bike and Exergaming Exercises on proportion of fallers in elderly participants with PD. In addition, the secondary objectives are to compare the effects on cardiopulmonary endurance, posture, postural control, executive function, quality of life and functionality of individuals with PD. Methodology: This is an interventional, randomized, blinded, longitudinal and prospective study. This research will be conducted in the State Reference Center for Health Care of the Elderly (CREASI). The sample will consist of 63 individuals with PD per group. The Experimental Group 1 will be submitted to Functional Training, the Experimental Group 2 with undergo training with Stationary Bike and the Experimental Group 3 will be submitted to exergame training using Xbox360 with KinectTM sensor. All the interventions will be performed three times per week, with 50 minutes per session, during 8 weeks.

Deep Brain Stimulation of the nbM to Treat Mild Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's DiseaseMild Cognitive Impairment

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of deep brain stimulation of the nucleus basalis of Meynert (also called the "nbM") at improving memory in Parkinson's disease patients with mild cognitive impairments and memory difficulties. Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) that are eligible for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) therapy for improvement of their motor symptoms and with evidence of mild cognitive impairments and memory difficulties will be enrolled.
