Hemodynamic Mechanisms of Abdominal Compression in the Treatment of Orthostatic Hypotension in Autonomic Failure
Compression garments have been shown to be effective in the treatment of orthostatic hypotension in autonomic failure patients. The purpose of this study is to determine the hemodynamic mechanisms by which abdominal compression (up to 40 mm Hg) improve the standing blood pressure and orthostatic tolerance in these patients, and …
Pimavanserin vs. Quetiapine for Treatment of Parkinson's Psychosis
Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) sometimes experience symptoms affecting their movement, such as slowness, tremor, stiffness, and balance or walking problems. Many patients also have other symptoms not related to movement, called non-motor symptoms, which may affect one's mood or emotions, memory or thinking, or cause one to see or …
Language and Lewy Body Diseases: Sentence Comprehension Problems and Modifying Noninvasive Brain Stimulation Treatment
Lewy body diseases (LBDs) represents a group of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the abnormal accumulation of aggregates of α-synuclein protein leading to the formation of Lewy bodies (LB) and Lewy neurites resulting in cell death. LBDs consists of two major clinical entities - Parkinson's disease (PD) and dementia with LB …
The Effect of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Cognitive Improvement in Dementia With Lewy Bodies
This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the occipital lobe in patients with Lewy body dementia.This is a proof-of-concept study to evaluate the safety and effect of occipital lobe stimulation in patients with Lewy body dementia. Over a period of two weeks, participants …
Steps Against the Burden of Parkinson's Disease - TelAviv/Bologna
Parkinson's disease (PD) affects over 10 million worldwide, causing unstable gait and falls in 70% of patients despite medication. This leads to confidence loss, isolation, fractures, and hospitalizations. Treadmill training, augmented by mechanical/virtual-reality triggers, has proven effective in enhancing gait and reducing falls. However, underlying treadmill training mechanisms are unclear. …
Effect of Training and Use of Cane on Gait in Individuals With Parkinson's Disease
Introduction: Although individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) commonly use assistive devices, the effects of these devices on gait remain poorly understood. Furthermore, previous studies on this topic only investigated the immediate effects of device usage, and the investigated outcomes were predominately performance-based neglecting participant-centered outcomes.Objective: To investigate the effect of …
Single-center Study of Gustation in Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease and Lewy Body Disease Using Gustatory Evoked Potential Analysis
The aim of the PI-PEG study is to explore the taste functions of the following 3 groups of participants:healthy volunteerspatients with early Parkinson's diseasepatients with incipient Lewy body disease.To this end, the results obtained from taste evoked potentials in each of the 3 groups of participants will be compared with …
Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset: a Non-invasive Treatment for Parkinson's Disease 2
The purpose of our study is to evaluate Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset stimulation (vCR) and its effects on motor function in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). vCR will be administered with a device called the Vibrotactile (VT) Touch device. vCR can be used in conjunction with medication and is expected to …
Acceptability of the Somnomat Casa for the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease
This pilot study aims to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of nocturnal translational vestibular stimulations (VS) applied by a rocking bed (Somnomat Casa) for two months in patients with Parkinson's Disease.
DBS and Levodopa for Treating Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease
Freezing of gait (FoG) is a complex symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) that cause falls and disability in PD patients, heavily affect patients' autonomy and quality of life. Gait disturbances and FoG are difficult to manage as they usually do not complete respond to both dopaminergic treatment and subthalamic nucleus …
