Empower Your Mind to Embrace Your Life: an Online ACT Intervention for Young-Onset Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) has a substantial impact on daily life and significantly affects functioning, mental health and quality of life. Although considered a disease of the elderly, an early diagnosis is also common. Non-pharmacological interventions have been increasingly recommended for PD, including psychotherapy, with emerging evidence suggesting that Acceptance and …
Efficacy and Safety of Transcranial dIrect Current stiMulation in Multiple System Atrophy-Cerebellar Variant
This is a double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial that aim to verify the safety and the efficacy of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) cerebellar symptoms in Multiple System Atrophy type C (MSA).
Innovative Models in the Rehabilitation of the Elderly With Parkinson's Disease Through Technological Innovation
The final goal of the present study is to propose a new approach in the Parkinson's Disease rehabilitation, focused on the use of robotic devices and to check the results not only at the end of the treatment but also in the long term, foreseeing 3 follow-up.
LIFUS For Neurological Disorders
Low intensity focused ultrasound (LIFUS) has the potential to be used as a means of non-invasive neuro-modulation. To this day, the use of LIFUS is under investigation. Studies in healthy subjects have shown that application of LIFUS to the motor region of the brain can mildly decrease neuron excitability in …
Autologous suraL nervE Grafting to the Substantia nigrA in Patients With Synuclienopathies
This phase I double-blind study focuses on the safety and feasibility of implanting autologous peripheral nerve tissue (PNT) into the substantia nigra area of the brain in persons who have been diagnosed with either Parkinson's disease (PD) or Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). 7 participants will be enrolled, with 4 participants …
The NADAPT Study: a Randomized Double-blind Trial of NAD Replenishment Therapy for Atypical Parkinsonism
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), Multiple system atrophy (MSA) and corticobasal syndrome (CBS) are severe neurodegenerative diseases with rapid progression and no effective treatment. Patients quickly succumb to increasing motor and non-motor symptoms and survival ranges from ~3 years to ~10 years.Although PSP, MSA and CBS are rare diseases they constitute …
A Digital Therapeutic Platform for Swallowing and Drooling Problems in Parkinson's
The purpose of this study is the development and early-stage validation of a wearable sensor for dysphagia in patients with PD.
Research on the Brain Mechanism of taVNS in Regulating PD Motor Symptoms
This study is a double blind comparative study exploring the neural underpinnings of taVNS modulating PD motor deficits. We hypothesize that taVNS might improve PD motor deficits by regulating the balance between excitation and inhibition in the primary motor cortex.
Light Therapy Intervention in Individuals With Parkinson's Disease
The study looks to investigate the effects that light therapy delivered to the frontal cortex could have on Parkinson's disease related symptoms ( both cognitive and motor). The therapy is a non invasive technique that deliverers low level wavelength light to the front part of the head for 12 minutes. …
Ultra-High Resolution PET in Aging, Neurodegeneration and Psychotic Disorders
The goal of this study is to use ultra-high-resolution (UHR) PET imaging to better understand how the brain and spinal cord change in healthy aging and in neurological and psychiatric disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease and related movement disorders, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and psychotic disorders. Researchers …
