Differential clinical outcomes in unifocal vs. multifocal premotor rTMS for Parkinson’s disease: A randomized trial
Objective: To compare changes in clinical outcomes after weekly low-frequency (LF) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) sessions over one vs. two pre-motor cortex (preMC) areas…Expiratory muscle training for the impaired loudness of speech in Parkinson’s disease: An open-label study
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of EMT for the impaired loudness of speech in patients with PD, we conducted an open-label pilot trial of EMT.…Changes in handwriting following repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over pre-motor cortex in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To observe changes in handwriting following administration of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over pre-motor cortex (pre-MC) in patients with PD. Background: Patients with…Feasibility of implementing a long-term mobile device program in PD patients
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of Parkinson's patients utilizing the Fox Insight Wear smartphone application in an environment outside the clinic. Background: A reliable quantitative…VANTAGE trial: Three year outcomes of a prospective, multi-center trial evaluating deep brain stimulation with a new multiple-source, constant-current rechargeable system in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The VANTAGE study assesses motor improvement in moderate-to-severe Parkinson's disease (PD) following bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) using a new, implantable,…Contributions of sensorial feedback to gait in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the integration of optic flow and proprioception when people with Parkinson's disease (PD), under and without dopaminergic medication effects, and matched-control group…DIRECT DBS: A prospective, multi-center clinical trial with blinding for a directional DBS lead
Objective: DIRECT DBS is an exploratory study which will investigate the effects of subthalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) using directional DBS leads with current steering…Whole body vibration therapy with exercise enhances motor function and improves quality of life in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the short term effects of whole body vibration and exercise in patients with Parkinson's disease on overall quality of life, gait, tremor,…Proprioceptive training as a means to enhance sensorimotor function in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To identify whether proprioceptive function in Parkinson's disease (PD) can be enhanced by specialized visuomotor training that emphasizes precise movements and determine if such…Pallidal versus subthalamic stimulation for PD: Beyond the motor effects
Objective: To evaluate the effects of Deep Brain Stimulation(DBS) on non motor symptoms(NMS) in Parkinson's disease(PD) and compare the efficacy of pallidal(GPi) versus subthalamic(STN) stimulation.…
