Analysis of cortical oscillatory activities may identify a subgroup of Parkinson’s disease patients with suboptimal responses to deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus
Objective: We studied brain oscillations related to DBS in a cognitive and motor task. We hypothesized that the impact of DBS on oscillations related to…The Dutch Parkinson and Microbiome Study (DUPARM): Gut Microbiome Composition of Treatment-Naïve De Novo Parkinson’s Disease Patients
Objective: To establish the gut microbiome composition of de novo Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients with no history of dopaminergic medication use. Background: PD is often…Therapeutic management of complicated Parkinson’s disease: clinical application of the Motor Fluctuation Indices
Objective: To evaluate the usefulness of the Motor Fluctuation Indices to assess clinically relevant change in motor fluctuations in advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients after…Scene Induced emotion processing in Parkinson’s disease: BOLD-fMRI study
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate emotional processing organization in the brain of patients with Parkinson's disease and to explore whether there…A flowchart algorithm for the neurologist to discuss and attend sexual issues in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To propose guidelines for neurologists to discuss sexual issues and offer education and practical solutions. Background: Sexual dysfunction (SD) is a common nonmotor symptom…Constipation with selected prodromal features increases risk of subsequent Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To use the electronic medical record (EMR) to understand the independent and joint effects of constipation and other prodromal features on the risk of…Evaluation of bedside screening tests to detect dysphagia in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of bedside screening tests, mainly established for stroke patients, to detect Parkinson's Disease (PD) related dysphagia. Background: Dysphagia is…Evaluation of dose rate of photobiomodulation (light) therapy in patients with Parkinson’s Disease: Double blind placebo-controlled pilot trial. Is there a dose frequency per week that influences quality of life, mobility and cognition?
Objective: This assessor- and participant-blinded placebo-controlled pilot study aimed to evaluate the influence on motor outcomes associated with Parkinson’s Disease with different dose application regimens…Vertebral pain and bone mineral density in women with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: This research aimed to study the bone mineral density (BMD) and vertebral pain in females with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: PD and systemic osteoporosis…Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) are Useful Biomarkers of Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Parkinson Disease Patients with Pathogenic Parkin and LRRK2 Mutations
Objective: To investigate the use of PBMCs as a biomarker of mitochondrial dysfunction in Parkinson disease (PD) patients carrying pathogenic parkin or LRRK2 mutations. Background:…
