Corticostriatal Contributions to Parkinson's Disease Cognitive Impairment
The goal of this study is to learn more about the brain activity underlying Parkinson's disease cognitive impairment. The investigators will utilize neural recordings from corticostriatal structures performed during deep brain stimulation surgery to measure neural activity underlying nonmotor symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Targeted Motor Learning to Improve Gait for Individuals With Parkinson Disease
The purpose of this research study is to determine how training to step with a metronome on both a treadmill, as well as overground, will influence the way that people with Parkinson disease walk. Using metronomes is commonly used in clinics, but the investigators will be using a combination of …
Voluntary Activation During Isokinetic Contractions in Subjects With Neuromotor Disorders
Activation is the amount of voluntary recruitment of a muscle during voluntary contraction. Full activation implies the recruitment of all muscle fibres at their tetanic frequency. In healthy subjects, and even in sports performances, full activation may be rarely achieved despite a subjectively maximal effort. Highly decreased activation has been …
How to Get Started: Identifying the Critical Ingredients to Improve Gait Initiation in Parkinson Disease
The purpose of this study is to understand the treatment approach (i.e., targeting gait or targeting the postural adjustment prior to gait) that is most effective at improving gait initiation dynamics in people with Parkinson disease. Ten adults with idiopathic Parkinson disease who self-report difficulty initiating gait will complete the …
Exercise to Improve Sleep in Parkinson's Disease
This study will investigate the impact of three common exercise modalities, cardiovascular, resistance, and multimodal (i.e., a combination of the previous two) training, on sleep quality and architecture in persons with Parkinson's disease (PD). Furthermore, the project will investigate whether the potential positive exercise-induced changes in sleep are associated with …
Overnight Trials With Heat Stress in Autonomic Failure Patients With Supine Hypertension
Patients with autonomic failure are characterized by disabling orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure on standing), and at least half of them also have high blood pressure while lying down (supine hypertension). Exposure to heat, such as in hot environments, often worsens their orthostatic hypotension. The causes of this are not …
Simultaneous DBS of the GPi and the NBM in Patients With Parkinson's Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment
Phase 1 study evaluating the safety of combined bilateral globus pallidus internus (GPi) and nucleus basalis of Meynert (NBM) stimulation in treating levodopa responsive motor symptoms of Parkinsonism and cognitive dysfunction, respectively, in patients with moderate to advanced Parkinson's disease having mild cognitive impairment.
Safety and Efficacy of Autologous iNSC-DAP in the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease
This is a phase I, interventional, single arm, open-label, clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the striatal transplantation of autologous induced neural stem cell-derived DA precursor cells in Parkinson's Disease patients.
OCT-Angiography and Adaptive Optics in Patients With Memory Impairment
Studies suggest an association between retinal abnormalities and NCD (Neuro Cognitive Disorders) whether they are linked to proven or prodromal Alzheimer's disease (aMCI : amnestic mild cognitive impairment), or to other neurodegenerative diseases such as frontotemporal dementia or Lewy body diseases.These retinal anomalies objectified by OCT-A (Optical coherence tomography angiography) …
Intranasal Insulin and Glutathione as an Add-On Therapy in Parkinson's Disease
This study will be evaluating the safety and efficacy of insulin and glutathione in subjects with Parkinson's Disease compared to placebo.
