PARKINSON'S DISEASE (PD)

This study tested the safety of a new drug, ABBV-951, given as a continuous 24-hour infusion under the skin for people with advanced Parkinson's disease. 118 adults who had completed earlier studies took part. The goal was to see if the drug is safe and tolerable over 96 weeks, w…

This study is testing the long-term safety of ABBV-951, a drug given as a continuous 24-hour infusion under the skin for people with advanced Parkinson's disease. About 130 adults who completed an earlier study will continue receiving the treatment. Researchers will monitor side …

This trial compares four different spinal cord stimulation settings to see which one best improves walking and balance in people with Parkinson's disease. Eleven participants who already have a spinal cord stimulator will try each setting in a random order. The study measures cha…

This small study tested a robotic device that massages the back to see if it helps people with Parkinson's disease move better, feel less back pain, and sleep better. Nineteen adults with mild to moderate Parkinson's took part in four 40-minute sessions over two weeks. The result…

This study tested a new way to program deep brain stimulation (DBS) in 15 people with Parkinson's disease. The goal was to see if this different programming pattern could improve their quality of life. Participants already had DBS devices implanted and were monitored for changes …

This study tested whether a simple pegboard ring test can reliably measure arm and hand function in people with Parkinson's disease. 47 volunteers completed the test along with other standard assessments. The goal was to see if this test could be a useful tool for doctors and the…

This study looked at vitamin B6 levels in 288 people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers wanted to find out how common abnormal B6 levels are and whether they relate to age, sex, race, or other factors. The study did not test any treatment—it only measured and compared B6 level…

This completed study tested a new device that can record brain activity even while deep brain stimulation (DBS) is turned on. Current recorders only work after stimulation stops. The study involved one person with Parkinson's disease undergoing DBS surgery. The goal was to better…
