Abstract Abnormal postures of the trunk are a typical feature Parkinson's disease (PD). These include Pisa syndrome (PS), tonic lateral flexion associated with slight rotation along sagittal plane. In this study we describe clinical, electromyographic (EMG), and radiological features PS in group 20 PD patients. All patients deviation underwent EMG (RX CT scan) investigation. Clinical characteristics were compared control without deviation. showed significantly higher score asymmetry group....
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P (SP) play an important role in the development of pain hyperalgesia. Experimental models have demonstrated that nitroglycerin (NTG)--a nitric oxide donor--provokes a hyperalgesic state, probably via activation second-order neurons nucleus trigeminalis caudalis. In order to gain further insight into CGRP SP different types experimental pain, we evaluated compared changes immunoreactivity (-ir) for these two neuropeptides at levels central...
People with Parkinson's disease (PD) often have a posture characterized by lateral trunk flexion poorly responsive to antiparkinsonian drugs. To examine the effects of rehabilitation programme (daily individual 90-minute-sessions, 5-days-a-week for 4-consecutive weeks) on and mobility, 22 PD patients mild severe flexion, without were studied. Patients evaluated using Unified Disease Rating Scale motor subscale (UPDRS-III) score, kinematic behavior was recorded means an optoelectronic system...
Abstract Background: Pain is one of the major nonmotor symptoms Parkinson's disease. We hypothesized that disease patients could show an early diffuse abnormal processing nociceptive inputs also in absence clinical pain syndrome and this represent physiopathological substrate to explain high incidence symptoms. Materials methods: used temporal summation threshold withdrawal reflex related sensation evaluate facilitation at spinal level. Fifteen (7 Women; 8 Men; mean age 63.0 ± 9.1) without...
Aim: Evidence suggests that falls and associated bone fractures are more frequent in patients suffering from Parkinson's disease (PD) than the general population. In this cross-sectional study we evaluated clinical biochemical characteristics to falls, health a population of PD subjects. Materials methods: Forty-two consecutive subjects idiopathic (mild-to-moderate severity) with/without previous year were included. They characterized as regards functional independence, balance, fear...
Almotriptan is an orally administered, highly selective serotonin 5-HT(1 B /1 D ) receptor agonist that effective in the acute treatment of moderate to severe migraine attacks.Since its introduction on market 2001, several studies involving a large number patients have confi rmed effi cacy and tolerability profi le.Almotriptan, was found be among best-responding triptans terms pain relief pain-free rate at 2 h.It has been reported almotriptan best sustained (SPF) lowest adverse events (AEs)...
In Parkinson's disease (PD), verb-naming tasks (VNTs) have been proposed as superior to noun-naming ones in detecting language deficits, although such a hypothesis is not supported at statistical level.The main aim of this study was provide diagnostic accuracy evidence for VNT and task (NNT) cognitive impairment (CI) PD patients.Thirty-three consecutive patients were subdivided into participants with (PD-CI; N = 12) or without CI (cognitively unimpaired, PD-CU; 21), based on raw score ≤25...
Several works in literature research the efficacy of rehabilitative treatment Parkinson’s Disease. However, these studies are often weakend by metodological limitations because use rating scales that have never been validated for evaluation motor performance improvement and independence Activities Daily Living. This study has allowed identification UPDRS - part III and FIM as means monitoring quantification patients with
