The novel COMT-inhibitor ODM-104 and optimized carbidopa in combination with modified release levodopa reduce levodopa fluctuation and increase minimum concentrations in healthy subjects, when compared to the standard carbidopa/levodopa/entacapone combination
Objective: To evaluate the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of orally administered modified release (MR) levodopa in combination with the aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase inhibitor carbidopa and…Creatine for patients with Parkinson’s disease: A meta-analysis
Objective: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to synthesize evidence from published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about the efficacy of creatine for…Effects of nilotinib on safety in open-label phase I clinical trial in Parkinson’s disease with dementia and Lewy body dementia
Objective: Nilotinib is FDA-approved for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) at 800mg oral dose twice daily. We examined the effects of lower doses…Nilotinib improves motor skills, cognition and autonomic function in open-label phase I clinical trial in Parkinson’s disease with dementia and Lewy body dementia
Objective: Nilotinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) was examined with the aim of showing its effect on safety comparing a lower dose of 150mg (N=6)…Nilotinib significantly alters CSF biomarkers and increases endogenous dopamine in open-label phase I clinical trial in Parkinson’s disease with dementia and Lewy body dementia
Objective: The objective was to determine whether Nilotinib crosses the blood brain barrier (BBB). Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) involves death of dopamine producing neurons in…Efficacy and feasibility study of the Medido eletronic medication dispenser in Parkinson’s disease: A multicentre randomized controlled trial
Objective: The aim of this randomized controlled study was to assess the effect of the electronic medication dispenser, Medido, on physical limitations in PD. Background:…Day case initiation of subcutaneous apomorphine in people with Parkinson’s disease: A retrospective analysis from a UK teaching hospital
Objective: To evaluate a cohort of people with Parkinson's disease (PD) who were initiated on subcutaneous apomorphine injections or continuous subcutaneous apomorphine infusions (CSAI) on…Effects of combined repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and treadmill training on gait performance in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) with treadmill training on walking performance and corticomotor excitability in people with Parkinson's disease…Peri-operative dopaminergic replacement protocol with rotigotine in Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: To evaluate the accomplishment of a peri-operative dopaminergic replacement protocol established in our centre from 2011 to 2014, and analyse the main factors associated…Group climate in the voice therapy of patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To examine the impact of coaching and group dynamics activities in the voice, speech and communication of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, as well as…
