Multiple system atrophy, parkinsonian type

This study aims to develop computer models that can help diagnose and monitor Parkinson's disease by analyzing eye movements and walking patterns. Researchers will collect data from 100 people with Parkinson's or similar conditions using special devices. The goal is to make diagn…

This study tested whether a single infusion of zoledronic acid (Reclast) can prevent fractures in men and women aged 60 and older with Parkinson's disease or related conditions. Over 2,700 participants were randomly assigned to receive either the drug or a placebo, and were follo…

This study tested whether infusing tiny bubbles of oxyhydrogen gas could help people with Parkinsonism. 35 adults received the infusion alongside their usual care. Researchers measured changes in disease severity, thinking ability, and quality of life. The goal was to see if this…

This completed study from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke aimed to better understand how the brain controls movement and what goes wrong in movement disorders like Parkinson's disease, Tourette's syndrome, and dystonia. Over 1,200 adults—both patients …

This trial tests whether a machine vision system can accurately rate the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease, as measured by the MDS-UPDRS Part III scale. Researchers will record videos of patients performing standardized tasks and use machine learning to develop an AI rating m…

This study follows 150 people with early Parkinson's disease or Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) for up to 18 months. Researchers will measure changes in motor symptoms, quality of life, and biomarkers to better understand how these diseases progress. The goal is to gather informati…

This study looked at pain thresholds in people with multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Parkinson's disease. Researchers tested how levodopa, a common Parkinson's drug, affects pain perception. The goal is to better understand the causes of pain in MSA and improve future treatment.

This completed study looked at over 2,500 people with Parkinson's disease who were admitted to the hospital through the emergency room. Researchers wanted to find the main reasons for these hospital stays and compare them to people of the same age without Parkinson's. The goal wa…

This study tested a wrist-worn device called the Personal KinetiGraph (PKG) to see if it can accurately measure movement problems in people with Parkinson's disease. Nineteen participants wore the device while researchers compared its readings to standard clinical tests and video…
