STN-tTIS With Different Intervention Intervals Versus Standard Medical Treatment for Parkinson's Disease

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of different Intervention Intervals of subthalamic nucleus-targeted transcranial temporal interference stimulation (STN-tTIS) in patients with Parkinson disease. Previous studies suggest that STN-tTIS may improve motor symptoms in people with Parkinson disease. However, most previous studies evaluated only one stimulation session. It remains unclear how often STN-tTIS should be administered during a repeated treatment course and whether shorter intervention intervals stimulation produces greater or longer-lasting improvement without increasing adverse events. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Does STN-tTIS administered five times weekly improve motor symptoms more than standard medication treatment alone at the end of the 2-week treatment period? 2. Do once-weekly, twice-weekly, and five-times-weekly STN-tTIS produce different changes in motor symptoms? 3. Does the STN-tTIS intervention intervals influence how long its effects persist after treatment? 4. Do the different intervention intervals have different effects on non-motor symptoms, quality of life, cognitive function, and safety? Participants will be randomly assigned to receive STN-tTIS once weekly, twice weekly, or five times weekly for 2 weeks, or to continue standard antiparkinsonian medication without additional stimulation. All participants will maintain a stable medication regimen during the study. Their motor and non-motor symptoms will be assessed during the treatment period and during a subsequent 2-week follow-up period.

Phase Ⅲ Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of TJ0113 Capsules in Patients With Early-Onset Parkinson's Disease

This study is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled Phase III clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and Pop PK characteristics of TJ0113 Capsules in treating EOPD patients. This study plans to enroll approximately 300 EOPD participants, who will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to two cohorts (Cohort 1: 200 mg dose group; Cohort 2: 400 mg dose group). Within each cohort, successfully screened participants will be stratified by stable use of dopamine receptor agonists (Yes vs. No) and stable use of Monoamine Oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitors (Yes vs. No), and within each stratum, randomized in a 2:1 ratio to the TJ0113 Capsules group and the placebo group, with approximately 100 assigned to the TJ0113 Capsules group and approximately 50 assigned to the placebo group. In this trial, the sample size for the TJ0113 Capsules 200 mg group, TJ0113 Capsules 400 mg group, and placebo group will each be approximately 100 participants. After randomization, during the double-blind treatment period, participants will receive continuous oral administration of TJ0113 Capsules or placebo for 26 weeks. After the double-blind treatment ends, participants will enter the open-label treatment period. During the open-label treatment period, all participants will receive oral TJ0113 Capsules for 26 weeks, and the dose of TJ0113 Capsules will be consistent with the dose of the investigational product taken by the participant during the double-blind treatment period (regardless of whether they took TJ0113 Capsules or placebo during the double-blind treatment period). After the open-label treatment period ends, participants will continue to receive a safety follow-up for 1 week (telephone follow-up). From the screening period to the end of the double-blind treatment period, all participants must maintain their original background anti-PD medication regimen unchanged; from the open-label treatment period to the end of the study, changes to the dose of stably received anti-PD medications are discouraged, but if necessary, the dose may be adjusted at the discretion of the investigator.

Music Therapy in Parkinson's Disease

This study aims to examine whether individual music therapy - involving the slow, gentle bowing of a string instrument, accompanied by the music therapist's singing and lyre playing - can have a relaxing and calming effect on patients with Parkinson's disease and improve anxiety, quality of life, and autonomic dysfunction such as unstable blood pressure. People with Parkinson's disease often struggle with anxiety, apathy, and depression, which can severely affect their quality of life. These symptoms are usually difficult to treat adequately with medication. They are frequently associated with dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system and a reduced variability of heart rate. Both are common in Parkinson's disease and can provide clues about stress and well-being. A healthy heart does not beat at completely regular intervals; instead, the time between beats constantly changes slightly. This fluctuation is called heart rate variability (HRV). Primary study outcome will be anxiety. Motivation, depression, individual quality of life, and severity of autonomic symptoms are also assessed using validated questionnaires. Physical study measures will be HRV, along with stability of blood pressure, intensity of tremor, ability to walk, and also electroencephalography (EEG) to assess brain activity. A subproject will explore whether listening to emotionally evocative music can specifically influence the brain in patients with Parkinson's disease (as measured by EEG) and autonomic functions (as measured by HRV). The effectiveness of an emotional response will be measured by a questionnaire (the Geneva Emotional Music Scale).

Efficacy of LSVT-LOUD Therapy on Voice, Speech, and Quality of Life in Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's disease often causes speech and voice impairments, such as reduced vocal loudness and decreased speech intelligibility, which significantly impact the quality of life for patients and their families. The Lee Silverman Voice Therapy-LOUD (LSVT-LOUD) is a specialized, evidence-based speech therapy protocol designed to improve vocal function. This study investigates the effectiveness of the LSVT-LOUD protocol in Turkish-speaking individuals with Parkinson's disease. The research evaluates objective changes in vocal loudness and speech quality, as well as the subjective therapy experiences of participants. By analyzing both clinical outcomes and patient feedback, this study aims to contribute to the clinical application and adaptation of LSVT-LOUD for the Turkish-speaking population

Coordinated Reset Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical implant procedure for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease (PD) utilizing medical devices approved by the FDA. A novel approach to current DBS approaches is called "Coordinated Reset" DBS (CR-DBS) which uses different patterns of stimulation at lower currents and can address the limitations of traditional DBS (T-DBS) that uses continuous high amplitude and high frequency stimulation. This study will evaluate the safety and short-term efficacy of CR-DBS in PD. The results from this study will significantly advance the development of CR-DBS for the treatment of PD. Findings in this study will also provide the rationale for further development of this novel DBS approach for other neurological and psychiatric disorders.
