Inhibition of nociceptive responses by modulating serotonergic signals at the rostral ventromedial medulla in 6-OHDA-induced Parkinson’s disease rat model
Objective: We aimed to determine whether the descending 5-HT facilitatory pathway from rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) and the extracellular 5-HT in RVM are involved in…Exploring hospitalizations and visits to the emergency room of patients with Parkinson’s disease: A ten years’ follow-up

Objective: To investigate if exercise-induced analgesia (EIA) is present in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) compared to an age-matched control group. Background: Pain is a…Preclinical evaluation of sub-anesthetic ketamine infusion to reduce L-DOPA-induced dyskinesias: Is it a ‘chemical’ DBS?
Objective: To evaluate mechanism of long-term activity of sub-anesthetic ketamine infusion to reduce L-DOPA-induced dyskinesias (LID). Background: Ketamine is an anesthetic that, when administered as…Neuropsychiatric disturbances in Parkinson’s disease patients’ with chronic pain
Objective: The study objective was to assess the neuropsychiatric profile in Moldavian Parkinson's disease patients with chronic pain. Background: Psychological factors can influence both the…Patient case reports supporting a long-term effect of sub-anesthetic ketamine infusion in reducing L-DOPA-induced dyskinesias
Objective: To evaluate possible long-term anti-dyskinetic activity of low-dose sub-anesthetic ketamine infusion from a retrospective chart review. Background: Repurposing drugs that have already been proven…Unusual motor and non-motor symptoms and signs in the early stage of Parkinson´s disease
Objective: To present unusual motor and non-motor symptoms and signs in the early stage of Parkinson´s disease. Background: Patients with Parkinson´s disease (PD) may present…Osteopathic manipulative treatment in Parkinson’s disease: Preliminary results of a double blind sham-controlled cross-over study
Objective: The primary objective of this study is to quantitatively evaluate the effect of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) in Parkinson's disease. Background: Patients with Parkinson's…Pain correlates with sleep disturbances in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: This study aimed to 1) examine the clinical characteristics of pain in patients with Parkinson's disease(PD) and 2) explore the correlation between pain and…The non-motor side of the honey-moon period of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To explore the non-motor side of the honey-moon period in Parkinson's disease (PD) and its impact on quality of life (QoL). Background: Although there…
