Bladder Complaints in Parkinson's Disease Effectiveness of Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercises and Electrical Stimulation
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of pelvic physical therapy with different types of electrical stimulation(ES) for bladder complaints in people with Parkinson's disease.The main question it aims to answer is:What is the effect of pelvic physical therapy with ES for bladder complaints in people …
Effect of Striatal Temporal Interference Stimulation on Language Processing in Neurodegenerative Diseases
The purpose of this study is to investigate the immediate effects of non-invasive temporal interference stimulation (TIS) targeting the striatum on sentence processing and brain connectivity in patients with neurodegenerative diseases.
Vestibular and Cortical Contributions to Transitions in Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease
Currently, there is a lack of comprehensive knowledge about the role of vestibulospinal drive and cortical activity during self-initiated movement transitions in older adults and people with PD (both with and without FOG). This set of experiments has two primary purposes: to (1) understand the pathological neurophysiology underlying freezing of …
Experimental Pain in Parkinsons
Study comparing pain intensity and discomfort in patients with Parkinson´s disease and healthy controls during inducement of mechanical, thermal, and chemical experimental pain
Remote Mental Practice for Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease
This single-blind, randomized controlled trial investigates the effects of a remotely delivered intervention based on mental practice (MP) combined with physical practice (PP) on freezing of gait (FOG) severity in people with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). Fifty participants will be randomly assigned to either the experimental group (MP + PP) …
Upper Limb Rehabilitation in People With Parkinson's Disease:
This study evaluates the effectiveness of upper limb rehabilitation using an end-effector robotic device with exercises designed to improve movements, strength, and coordination of the shoulder, elbow, and wrist in patients with Parkinson's disease who have mild to moderate disability, compared to conventional rehabilitation treatment. The study protocol will involve …
Phase 2 Trial of Tributyrin in People With Parkinson's Disease and Cognitive Impairments
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if taking a tributyrin supplement works to improve memory and thinking and walking and balance in adults with Parkinson disease Parkinson disease dementia. It will also learn about the safety of tributyrin supplementation. The main questions it aims to answer are:Does …
Listener Training for Improved Intelligibility of People With Parkinson's Disease
Listener training offers a promising avenue for improving communication for people with dysarthria due to Parkinson's disease by offsetting the intelligibility burden from the patient onto their primary communication partners. Here, we employ a repeated-measures, randomized controlled trial to establish the efficacy of listener training for patients with PD and …
The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Neuroinflammation in Parkinson's Disease-TSPO- Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Substudy
The primary objective of this substudy is to measure the concentration and the regional brain distribution of activated brain microglia/macrophages using the PET ligand [18F]DPA-714 in participants enrolled in the UAB Innate and Adaptive Immunity in Parkinson's Disease (Clinical Research Core) and Longitudinal [18F]DPA-714 Imaging in a Parkinson Disease Cohort …
Stimulus-Evoked Directional Field Potentials to Guide Subthalamic and Pallidal DBS for PD
Our goal is to better understand how DBS modifies local neuronal activity and to pioneer device technologies that can record local DBS-evoked potentials (DLEPs) to guide therapy. Our vision is for a patient's unique electrophysiology to guide both electrode targeting during surgery and programming in clinic, eventually as an integrated …
