A Study of Neurodegeneration and Neuronal Fluctuations in Lewy Body Disease and Alzheimer's Disease
The purpose of this research study is to investigate how the brain, memory, thinking, and motor behavior change both in individuals with movement and/or cognitive disorders, as well as healthy individuals. Researchers will look at measurements of memory, thinking, brain wave and muscle activity, daily functioning, and brain scans to …
LFP-based Parameter Prediction in DBS for Parkinson's Disease
The goal of this observational study is to assess whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) contact selection in Parkinson's disease could be informed by subcortical local field potential (LFP) recordings. The main question it aims to answer is:Aligns stimulation contact selection based on subcortical LFP recordings with clinically optimized contact selection?Participants …
Precision Medicine and Neurodegenerative Diseases: Advanced Systems for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease.
In recent decades, advances in medicine have significantly improved both quality of life and life expectancy. However, these positive effects are also associated with a considerable increase in the prevalence of age-related diseases. Among these, Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and type 2 diabetes (T2D) currently represent a major …
Exploration of GCase Activity to Identify a Subpopulation Eligible for a Therapeutic Trial in Dementia With Lewy Bodies
This research focuses on the activity of an enzymatic protein: glucocerebrosidase, in dementia with lewy bodies (DLB). Indeed, the mutation of the GBA gene responsible for a decrease in the activity of glucocerebrosidase is the most frequent known genetic risk factor in DLB. However, mutations of the GBA gene are …
Physical Activity in Persons With Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a leading neurodegenerative health condition in Sweden and a public health concern. Although no cure exists, functional independence and participation in society remain top priorities, and can be achieved through targeted physical activity (PA) interventions. To date, few longitudinal cohort studies have been conducted, using PA …
Alpha-synuclein Rt-quic and Neurologic Symptoms in Persons With idiOpathic anosMiA
Test of early warning signs and RT-QuIC in patients with idiopathic olfactory dysfunction
Long-Term Behavioral and Cognitive Outcomes of Deep Brain Stimulation in Patients With Parkinson's Disease
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the long-term effect of DBS-STN on cognitive and behavioral outcomes in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients.PD patients will be assessed over time using tests, questionnaires and standardized clinical scales. An initial assessment (T0) and annual follow-up assessments will be carried out for …
Neural Mechanisms and Clinical Applications of DBS for Modulating Sleep Dysregulation in PD
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder characterized by both motor and non-motor symptoms. Subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) effectively alleviates motor symptoms; however, non-motor symptoms such as sleep disorders significantly impair patients' quality of life. While preliminary evidence suggests DBS may improve sleep, the underlying neural …
Development of IPS from Donated Somatic Cells of Patients with Neurological Diseases
Human fibroblasts and possibly other human somatic cells may be reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by the forced expression of transcription factors (1-5). The iPS cells seem to share many properties with human embryonic stem cells.Induced pluripotent stem cells potentially may be useful in the future as an …
Study to Assess Real Life Effectiveness of Foslevodopa/Foscarbidopa in Adult German Participants at Initial Stages of Advanced Parkinson's Disease (EARLY-FOS)
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological condition, which affects the brain. PD gets worse over time, but how quickly it progresses varies a lot from person to person. Some symptoms of PD are tremors, stiffness, and slowness of movement. This study will assess how effective foscarbidopa/ foslevodopa is in treating …
