Stress Management and Mindfulness Intervention for Patients With Sickle Cell Disease
The purpose of this research is to determine whether a new stress management and mindfulness program can improve quality of life in individuals with sickle cell disease. The program is based on a number of empirically supported treatments including techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy like overcoming motivational barriers to self-care, learning …
Open-label Study to Evaluate Brain α-Synuclein Deposition Using PET and [18F]MK-0947 in Parkinson's Disease
This clinical study is being conducted to learn more about a new imaging drug called [18F]MK-0947, which is designed to help doctors see changes in the brain related to Parkinson's disease (PD). PD is a condition that affects movement, balance, and thinking. The drug works with a type of scan …
Electrophysiology-based DBS Programming for PD
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) effectively alleviates motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, current programming is manual and time-consuming. This study will evaluate physiology-based programming using local field potentials (LFPs) to identify optimal stimulation parameters. Specifically, DBS contact selection based on beta power and a broad-band approach will be compared …
Association of VAgus Nerve Stimulation and Treadmill Training for GAit Rehabilitation in DE Novo Parkinson's Disease
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) can improve gait and brain function in people with diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) within 6 months. It will also help researchers learn about the safety and biological effects of taVNS when used …
Myrosinase Bioactivated Gglucoraphanin for the Treatment of Neurodegenerative Diseases (GRA-MYR-ND)
Glucosinolates (GLs) are phytocompounds mainly found in the Cruciferae (Brassicacea) and Moringa oleifera plants. The hydrolysis of GLs by myrosinase led to the production of isothiocyanate (ITCs). ITCs consumption was associated with different health promoting effects, including to neuroprotective, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory capacities. In particular, they showed neuroprotective effects in …
Understanding How Movements Are Transferred From Task to Task in Parkinson's Disease
The purpose of this study is to understand how a specific brain area, the Posterior Parietal Cortex (PPC), plays a role in movement transfer from walking on a split-belt treadmill (SBT) to walking on the ground in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD).Here, investigators will apply repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) …
Etoricoxib in Patients With Parkinsonian Disease
Neuroinflammation is considered one of the most important factors contributing critically to pathophysiology of PD . Recently, high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) protein has been encoded as a potential inflammatory biomarker in PD. HMGB1 mediates immune response mostly through endothelial cells and macrophage activation via targeting two vital cell receptors; …
Phase 1 Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Efficacy, and Pharmacokinetics of IPS101A in Parkinson's Disease Patients
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dose-related safety and tolerability of IPS101A, an adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy, in patients with Parkinson's disease who exhibit severe functional impairment corresponding to Hoehn & Yahr stages 4-5 and whose symptoms are not adequately controlled despite all available monotherapy and …
Effect of Melatonin on Oxidative Stress Parameters in Levodopa-Treated Parkinson's Disease Patients
In Bangladesh Melatonin is currently used for insomnia. Its potential therapeutic benefits beyond sleep regulation. This study aimss to evaluate the effects of melatonin supplementation on oxidative stress markers, neuroinflammation and clinical outcomes in patients with Parkinson's disease. The main question it aims to answer:In patients with Parkinson's disease receiving …
Rhythmic Auditory Stimulaton Using Personalized Music Therapy in Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder commonly associated with gait disturbances, balance impairments, and freezing of gait, which significantly increase the risk of falls and reduce functional independence. Conventional physical therapy improves mobility in individuals with PD; however, persistent gait deficits often remain. Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS) is …
