Treatment Summary

Apomorphine is a drug used to treat the lack of movement associated with Parkinson’s disease. It was first created in 1845 and first used to treat Parkinson’s in 1884. Apomorphine has also been studied as a potential treatment for other conditions, such as vomiting, alcoholism, and other movement disorders. The medication received FDA approval in 2004.

How Kynmobi Affects Patients

Apomorphine is a drug that affects the brain and can help with motor control. It has a short-term effect and not much of the drug is needed for it to be effective. However, patients should be aware of potential side effects, such as nausea and vomiting, feeling sleepy during the day, low blood pressure, mouth irritation, falling, hallucinations, acting in an aggressive or impulsive way, feeling very hot, and an increased risk of heart problems. Taking an anti-nausea medicine called trimethobenzamide before or while taking apomorphine can help reduce these side effects. It is generally recommended to take this

How Kynmobi works in the body

Apomorphine is a drug that binds to dopamine receptors in the brain, which can help with the movement difficulties associated with Parkinson's disease. We don't know exactly how it works, but it appears to have an effect on a specific part of the brain responsible for movement control.

Kynmobi for Parkinson's Disease

This drug is very effective in getting my mom unstuck, but unfortunately it comes with the side effect of nausea. We've found that ginger chews help a bit, but ultimately the decision to take this medication or not is a tough one.

Answered by AI

What are the side effects of Kynmobi?

"The following effects may occur: nausea, vomiting, mouth pain/sores/numbness, gum swelling, dry mouth, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, tiredness, or runny nose. If you experience any of these effects, tell your doctor or pharmacist."

Answered by AI

What is Kynmobi used for?

"Kynmobi is a medication that works by mimicking the brain chemical dopamine. It is meant to be used to help with "off" time in Parkinson's, which is when symptoms get worse. It can be used up to 5 times per day, in addition to other Parkinson's medications."

Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease

All Sexes
San Francisco, CA

The purpose of this study is to test a new way to treat Parkinson's disease (PD). Subjects will be implanted with deep brain stimulator (DBS) devices and electrodes placed under the scalp. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is there a less invasive method to collect useful brain signals? Find out if these brain signals can be related to movement and/or sleep symptoms. * How to use these brain signals to tailor adaptive deep brain stimulation settings for movement and/or sleep symptoms Researchers will compare study derived adaptive DBS settings to subject's clinically programmed continuous DBS settings to see which is better at treating patients PD symptoms.

[18F]MK-0947 for Parkinson's Disease

18 - 80
All Sexes
New Haven, CT

This clinical study is being conducted to learn more about a new imaging drug called \[18F\]MK-0947, which is designed to help doctors see changes in the brain related to Parkinson's disease (PD). PD is a condition that affects movement, balance, and thinking. The drug works with a type of scan called PET (Positron Emission Tomography) to show areas of the brain where a protein called α-synuclein builds up. This buildup is linked to PD and other brain disorders. The main goal of this study is to find out if \[18F\]MK-0947 is safe for people and if it works well to show α-synuclein in the brain. The study will also look at how the drug moves through the body and how much radiation it gives off. Researchers hope this information will help develop better tools for diagnosing PD and tracking how it changes over time. Who can join? Adults who have PD or who are healthy may be able to take part. Participants will have screening tests to make sure they qualify. What does participation involve? People in the study will have PET scans, blood tests, and other safety checks. Some participants will also have an MRI scan. The study is divided into two parts: Part 1 looks at how the drug works in the brain of PD patients and healthy elderly participants, and Part 2 measures radiation levels in healthy participants. Why is this important? There is currently no cure for PD, and better imaging tools could help researchers develop new treatments. By joining this study, participants will help advance research that may improve care for people with PD and similar conditions in the future.

Cognitive Cueing + Video Intervention for Parkinson's Disease

40 - 99
All Sexes
London, Canada

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if cognitive cueing (eg., prompting individuals to think about taking big-long steps while walking), either as a stand- alone intervention or combined with a personalized gait training video, can improve gait (walking), mobility, and balance confidence for individuals with Parkinson's Disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does focusing on cognitive cues while walking improve gait, mobility, and balance confidence for individuals with Parkinson's Disease? 2. Does incorporating a personalized gait training video alongside cognitive cueing lead to amplified improvements in gait, mobility, and balance confidence for individuals with Parkinson's Disease? Researchers will compare how gait, mobility, balance confidence and quality of life change over time for participants when they practice walking with and without a cognitive cue alone, and when they practice with using a personalized gait training video. The researchers are also interested in how participation in this trial will affect quality of life and conscious attention to gait. Participants will * Complete walking trials on an instrumented mat that records data on their walking ability. These trials will be undertaken without a cognitive cue and while participants mentally rehearse a series of 3 cognitive cues (Take big long steps; Walk heel-toe; Stand up straight). * Be informed about which of the 3 cues best improved their walking and will receive a personalized gait training video for at home practice. * Complete online surveys that ask questions about their Parkinson's Disease, mobility, balance confidence quality of life and conscious attention to gait. * Visit the research facility 3 to 4 times during the study to have their gait (walking), mobility, balance confidence, quality of life and conscious attention to gait assessed and reassessed. * Practice both with and without their personalized video at home and keep a diary to record their practice sessions * Participate in a brief interview to discuss their experiences with the training and their perceptions of the effectiveness of cognitive cues and video-recorded feedback

During the MAD portion of the study, patients with Parkinson's disease will receive two doses of either LY3962681 or placebo (aCSF) administered into the spinal fluid. * The treatment period in the SAD study will be 1 day. The treatment period in the MAD study will be 2 days, 12 to 24 weeks apart. * The follow-up period in the SAD study will be up to 52 weeks.

Non-Invasive Vagal Nerve Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease

All Sexes
Hines, IL

More than 110,000 US Veterans living with Parkinson's disease (PD) currently receive PD-related care and services from the VA. Fall prevention is a priority for Veterans living PD. Gait disturbances are a major cause for functional dependence and the largest risk factor for falls, institutionalization, and death in PD. This SPiRE addresses the need to advance nonpharmacological rehabilitative health care of Veterans and maximizing functional outcomes by developing a non-invasive, neuromodulatory transcutaneous cervical Vagal Nerve Stimulation as an at-home intervention to improve gait and balance. This pilot clinical trial will assist with future efforts and priorities of the VA to prolong independent living and quality of life by minimizing gait and balance dysfunction experienced by Veterans living with PD.
