Stories in the Moment: Dance Program for People Living With Dementia
This study is designed to evaluate the impact on the quality of life and wellbeing of a person-centered online dance program on people living with dementia or MCI and care partners. The duration of the study will be 1 year. Each participant in the study will be followed for approximately …
Oscillatory Activity in Basal Ganglia Circuits During Normal and Pathological Movement
The expression of hypokinetic and hyperkinetic motor symptoms is accompanied by pathological synchronous oscillations of neuronal activity in this cortico-subcortical network with a wide frequency range. The purpose of this research is to study cortico-subcortical oscillations and their synchronization in two pathologies emblematic of hypokinetic (Parkinson's disease) and hyperkinetic (epilepsies) …
Algorithm Guided DBS Programming in Parkinson's Patients
Patients undergoing Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's disease will be subjected to standard of care programming and compared with the algorithm based programming (StimSearch). Various parameters including the effectivity and efficiency of algorithm programming will be compared against the standard of care programming.
Cortical Electrophysiology of Response Inhibition in Parkinson's Disease
Patients with Parkinson's Disease will be studied before, during, and after a deep brain stimulation implantation procedure to see if the stimulation location and the size of the electrical field produced by subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS determine the degree to which DBS engages circuits that involve prefrontal cortex executive functions, …
PET Imaging Evaluation of [11C]SY08
The overall goal of the proposed research is to evaluate the use of [11C]SY08 as a PET radiotracer for aggregated alpha synuclein (αS) in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD), Multiple system atrophy (MSA), Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) and healthy controls.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use …
Effect of Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine on Constipation in Parkinson's Disease
The aim of this pilot study is to investigate the effect of Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) in decreasing constipation symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). A second but optional aim is to determine if OMM changes the bacterial flora of the mouth and gut. OMM is a safe and …
Parkinson's Disease and Gamma-transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation
Cortical-basal ganglia gamma oscillations are pathologically reduced in Parkinson's disease (PD) and the plasticity of the primary motor cortex (M1) is impaired. Enhancing gamma oscillations through transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), a non-invasive neurophysiological tool that modulates cortical rhythms, can restore this alteration. However, whether tACS-related normalization of M1 plasticity …
The Effect of Rehabilitation Training on Orthostatic Hypotension in Parkinson's Patients
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore raise-bed training Orthostatic Hypotension in Parkinson's Patients. The main question it aims to answer is: Can raise-bed training improve Orthostatic Hypotension in Parkinson's Patients. Patients will be randomly allocated into the control group or the experimental group, all under rehabilitation treatment, …
Clinical, Molecular and Electrophysiological Profiling of Parkinson's Disease: the Role of Non-pharmacological Therapies
In Parkinson's disease (PD), direct evidence linking inflammation to the harmful activities of alpha-synuclein (a-syn) aggregates, the disease onset, and its progression is still lacking. This translational project aims to reveal the causal relationship between a-syn and inflammation. The investigators will also investigate the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of …
A Study Assessing the Effects of Acupuncture in Parkinson's Disease Patients With Chronic Appendicitis
The incidence of PD is high, and when the disease is serious to a certain extent, the effect of drugs to control symptoms decreases, resulting in a significant reduction in the quality of life of patients. Recent studies have found that these PD symptoms are closely related to the intestine. …
