Neuropsychology of Financial Capacity
The present project aims to investigate the financial capacity in patients diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease or parkinsonism, brain tumor (glioma or meningioma) and cerebrovascular lesion (stroke), in order to evaluate the presence and degree of impairment, and the role of some factors as potential predictors of financial incapacity. The term …
Longitudinal Investigation of I2BS in PD
In this study, the researchers aim to find a biomarker of PD. Using imaging scans called Positron Emission tomography (PET), Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The PET and SPECT scans use small amounts of radiation and specific compounds called tracers, to study chemical changes …
Deep Brain Stimulation for Visuomotor Function in Parkinson's Disease
Inability to align and refocus the eyes on the objects at different depths, i.e., vergence impairment, frequently affects the quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease. Our study aims to understand the location-specific effects of subthalamic region deep brain stimulation on vergence by integrating the patient-specific deep brain stimulation …
Towards the Validation of a New Blood Biomarker for the Early Diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease
The investigators have recently discovered a metabolic biomarker which predicts Parkinson's disease (PD) at the early stages in patients and in animal models. The aim of BIOPARK is to investigate how the biomarker evolves in advanced PD stage, when diagnosis confirmation is higher, an in de novo PD patients who …
Mechanical Determinants of Upper Limbs Oscillation During Gait
It is unclear why humans typically swing their arms during gait. To date, the debate on how to arm swing comes about (i.e. whether it is caused by accelerations of the shoulder girdle or muscular activity) is still going on. There needs to be consensus on whether the arm swing …
Effect of Medical Cannabis for Non-motor Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease
Medical cannabis (MC) is a standard treatment in Israel to Parkinson's disease (PD) patients suffering from pain. Nevertheless, it is not known about MC effectiveness for other non-motor symptoms of the disease. Our aim is to prospectively observe patients with PD before and after initiation of MC, for non-motor symptoms …
Short- and Long-term Behavioral, Cognitive and Motor Outcomes of Frameless Deep Brain Stimulation in Patients With Parkinson's Disease: a Prospective Observational Study
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the improvement in quality of life after deep brain stimulation surgery with frameless technique by comparing the PDQ-39 scale score at baseline (before surgery) and one year after surgery.
Predictors of Parkinson's Disease Progression
it is a prospective longitudinal observational study, aiming to to identify clinical, and biochemical baseline predictors of motor and non-motor PD progression in sample of Egyptian patients. it measures the baseline motor, non-motor, biochemical and imaging characteristics at enrollment and its relation to PD progression over 3 years
Progression Follow up of the First-degree Relatives of Patients With REM Sleep Behavior Disorder
REM sleep behavior disorder is a novel and distinct parasomnia characterized by recurrent dream enactment behaviors (DEBs) and polysomnographic features of REM sleep without atonia (RSWA), with typical onset age at early 60's. Idiopathic RBD (iRBD) has been suggested as a most specific precursor of α-synucleinopathy-related neurodegeneration (e.g. Parkinson's disease …
Chinese PD-GBA Registry
The purpose of the Chinese Parkinson's disease with GBA variants Registry (CPD-GBAR) is to develop a database of patients of Parkinson's disease with Glucocerebrosidase (GBA) gene variants in mainland China.
