Duration of levodopa treatment and prevalence of osteoporosis in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To assess whether the prevalence of osteoporosis increases with the duration of levodopa treatment in patients with Parkinson's disease. Background: Patients with Parkinson's disease…Long-term effects of levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel infusion in advanced Parkinson’s disease patients: Dutch multicenter retrospective cohort study
Objective: To determine the long-term outcomes of levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel infusion (LCIG) in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Background: LCIG was introduced in the Netherlands…Balance training in individual’s with Parkinson’s disease: Therapist-supervised vs. home-based exercise programmes
Objective: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of a home-based balance programme to therapist-supervised programme on gait parameters, dynamic balance, balance confidence and motivation in…Predicting medication reduction in Parkinson’s disease patients after deep brain stimulation
Objective: To determine which factors predict medication reduction for Parkinson's disease (PD) patients after deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN). Background:…Objective measurement in clinical care of patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To establish whether using the Parkinson's KinetiGraph™ which provides objective measures in activities of daily living, helps identify unknown poorly controlled patients with Parkinson's…Levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel in routine care of advanced Parkinson’s disease patients: Final long-term non-motor, quality of life and safety results from the GLORIA registry
Objective: To evaluate the tolerability and effect of levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG, designated in the US as carbidopa-levodopa enteral suspension) on non-motor symptoms (NMS), quality…Reflex saccades changes can estimate long-term symptom progression in DBS STN and MED Parkinson’s disease patients (PD)
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of STN DBS on RS parameters in PD. We have compared disease progression in…Randomized controlled trial protocol: Balance training with rhythmical cues to improve and maintain balance control in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Is to evaluate the effects of balance training with rhythmical(BRT) which is a motor program to improve balance associated with rhythmical auditory cues (RACs).…Risk factors for premature withdraw from the LS-1 PD study
Objective: To identify risk factors for premature withdrawal from a large, multi-center Parkinson's disease clinical trial of possible neuroprotection. Background: Premature withdrawal (PW) of subjects…Clinical characteristics of Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor patients undergoing deep brain stimulation surgery: Five-year data from Columbia University Medical Center (2009 – 2014)
Objective: To compare the clinical characteristics of essential tremor (ET) and Parkinson's disease (PD) patients who underwent deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery to those of…
