Long-Term Behavioral and Cognitive Outcomes of Deep Brain Stimulation in Patients With Parkinson's Disease
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the long-term effect of DBS-STN on cognitive and behavioral outcomes in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients.PD patients will be assessed over time using tests, questionnaires and standardized clinical scales. An initial assessment (T0) and annual follow-up assessments will be carried out for …
Neural Mechanisms and Clinical Applications of DBS for Modulating Sleep Dysregulation in PD
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder characterized by both motor and non-motor symptoms. Subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) effectively alleviates motor symptoms; however, non-motor symptoms such as sleep disorders significantly impair patients' quality of life. While preliminary evidence suggests DBS may improve sleep, the underlying neural …
Development of IPS from Donated Somatic Cells of Patients with Neurological Diseases
Human fibroblasts and possibly other human somatic cells may be reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by the forced expression of transcription factors (1-5). The iPS cells seem to share many properties with human embryonic stem cells.Induced pluripotent stem cells potentially may be useful in the future as an …
Study to Assess Real Life Effectiveness of Foslevodopa/Foscarbidopa in Adult German Participants at Initial Stages of Advanced Parkinson's Disease (EARLY-FOS)
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological condition, which affects the brain. PD gets worse over time, but how quickly it progresses varies a lot from person to person. Some symptoms of PD are tremors, stiffness, and slowness of movement. This study will assess how effective foscarbidopa/ foslevodopa is in treating …
The Relationship Between Upper Extremity Function and Balance and Functional Mobility in Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, affecting 2-3% of the population aged 65 and over, characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons. The basal ganglia play a significant role in the pathogenesis of PD. The lesions of the basal ganglia impair the ability of patients to …
Virtual Reality and Fear of Falling in Parkinson's Disease
Background: Falls are common in elderly individuals and those with neurological conditions like Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease causes postural instability and mobility issues that lead to falls and reduced quality of life. The fear of falling (FoF), a natural response to unstable balance, can exacerbate postural control problems. However, evaluating …
" Visual Characterization of Parkinson's Patients and Oculomotor or Perceptual Therapy"
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative condition worldwide, characterised by motor symptoms, but with other symptoms such as visual impairment.The aim is to compare visual function between PD patients and healthy subjects in order to adequately characterise the visual capabilities of the PD population and perform oculomotor …
Utilisation of Health Services and Quality of Life in Patients With Atypical Parkinsonian Syndromes
The study will compare health care utilisation and quality of life for patients with progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal syndrome and multiple system atrophy in different parts of the region that our specialist clinic operates in with different services as well as in other regions with no specialist clinics. This study …
SL-START - SubLingual Apomorphine Schemes of TitrAtion in Real-world Treatment
The purpose of the study is to generate real-world evidence data for the on-demand treatment with SL-APO, focusing on understanding its usage and titration practices including individual dose determination after dose-adjustment to ultimately understand their influence in patient satisfaction, treatment persistence, and the balance between effectiveness and safety. The data …
The Ultrasonographic Evaluation of Abdominal Accessory Respiratory Muscle Thickness in Patients With Parkinson's Disease: Correlation With Disease Severity and Expiratory Respiratory Muscle Strength
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by both motor and non-motor symptoms. The involvement of respiratory muscles can lead to impairments in respiratory function in these patients. In this study is to evaluate the thickness of abdominal accessory respiratory muscles using ultrasonography in patients with Parkinson's disease. Additionally, the …
