Coping styles and their influence on outcomes in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To understand the associations between coping styles and various clinical symptoms and outcomes in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: The diagnosis of a…Rotigotine transdermal patch in Chinese patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease: A randomized, double-blind study
Objective: A multicenter phase III study (SP1037; NCT01646255) to investigate the efficacy and safety of rotigotine in Chinese patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). Background:…Eight weeks of home-based balance training not as effective as therapist-based during dual tasks
Objective: To assess the effect of balance training on dual-tasking gait, and to investigate if a home-based programme is comparable to a therapist-supervised programme. Background:…Suggested criteria for patient selection for therapy with carbidopa/levodopa enteral suspension (CLES)
Objective: To provide suggested guidance on how to select appropriate candidates for therapy with carbidopa/levodopa enteral suspension (CLES) based on published literature. Background: The introduction…Comparison of four DBS lead designs under voltage and current operating modes based on patient specific simulations
Objective: To quantitatively compare the spatial extension of the electric field generated by four different lead designs operated under voltage and current modes. Background: Conventional…Safety and clinical effects of NTCELL® [immunoprotected (alginate-encapsulated) porcine choroid plexus cells for xenotransplantation] in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD): 81 to 130 weeks follow-up
Objective: To follow the clinical status of 4 PD patients transplanted with NTCELL out to 81-130 weeks. Background: NTCELL comprises neonatal porcine choroid plexus cells…Wearable sensors and decision algorithms for advanced therapy referral in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Pilot study to determine the impact of remote monitoring using objective, wearable sensors on the advanced therapy referral rate in patients with advanced Parkinson's…Pathological findings from two Parkinson’s disease patients after intraputaminal GDNF infusion
Objective: To describe the postmortem findings from two patients who underwent intraputaminal infusion of glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF). Background: GDNF has been shown to have…Impact of expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) on phonatory performance in Parkinson’s patients
Objective: The current study adopted a randomized control trial (RCT) design to investigate the impact of expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) on vocal loudness and…A clinical trials ‘charter’ to improve communication about, recruitment to and retention in Parkinson’s clinical trials
Objective: The objective of the project was to design a durable tool, usable by clinical trial investigators and participants alike, that would improve subject retention…
