To investigate the safety and efficacy of botulinum toxin type A (BoNTX) treatment to reduce sialorrhea in Parkinson's disease (PD), a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study enrolled 32 PD patients complaining excessive drooling. Patients received either 50 U Botox each parotid gland or placebo without using ultrasound guidance. Subjects treated with BoNTX experienced reduction both drooling frequency familial social disability (TimexGroup effect: P<0.01), as well saliva...
Abstract Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with gastrointestinal motility abnormalities that could favor the occurrence of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. The aim study was to assess prevalence overgrowth in PD patients. Methods: Consecutive patients were enrolled. controls subjects without PD. All and underwent glucose breath test Results: Forty‐eight 36 significantly higher than (54.17% vs 8.33%; P < .0001; OR, 2.24; 95% CI, 3.50–48.24). Multivariate analysis...
This paper proposes a free dataset, available at the following link,1named KIMORE, regarding different rehabilitation exercises collected by RGB-D sensor. Three data inputs including RGB, depth videos, and skeleton joint positions were recorded during five physical exercises, specific for low back pain accurately selected physicians. For each exercise, dataset also provides set of features, specifically defined physicians, relevant to describe its scope. These validated with respect...
COVID-19 pandemic is creating collateral damage to outpatients, whose rehabilitation services have been disrupted in most of the European countries. Telemedicine has advocated as a possible solution. This paper reports contents third Italian Society Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (SIMFER) webinar on "experiences from field" impact ("Covinars"). It provides readily available, first-hand information about application telemedicine rehabilitation. The experiences reported were very...
The overall frequency of postural abnormalities (PA) in Parkinson's disease (PD) is unknown. We evaluated the prevalence PA and assessed association with demographic clinical variables.For this multicenter, cross-sectional study, consecutive PD outpatients attending 7 tertiary Italian centers were enrolled. Patients compared for presence isolated such as camptocormia, Pisa syndrome, anterocollis combined forms (ie, camptocormia + syndrome) together variables.Of total 811 patients enrolled,...
The freezing of gait (FOG) is a common and highly distressing motor symptom patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD). Effective management FOG difficult given its episodic nature, heterogeneous manifestation limited responsiveness to drug treatment. Clinicians found alternative approaches, such as rhythmic cueing. We built smartphone-based architecture in agreement acceptability usability requirements which able gather data information useful detect FOG. In this work fusing together the freeze...
In this paper, the accuracy evaluation of Kinect v2 sensor is investigated in a rehabilitation scenario. The analysis provided terms joint positions and angles during dynamic postures used low-back pain rehabilitation. Although other studies have focused on validation positions, they present results only considering static whereas exercise monitoring involves to consider movements with wide range motion issues related joints tracking. work, represent clinical features, chosen by medical...
Although cerebellar lesions do not cause evident sensory deficits, it has been suggested recently that the cerebellum might play a role in acquisition and discrimination. To determine whether influences early phases of cortical somatosensory processing, we recorded evoked potentials after median nerve stimulation five patients with unilateral damage. We also performed dipolar source analysis traces by means brain electrical analysis. In all patients, amplitude frontal N24 parietal P24...
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy sodium valproate and topiramate in treating chronic migraine. Methods: Forty-nine patients with migraine were randomly assigned 1 2 groups treatment: 750 mg/day or 75 topiramate. Efficacy variables number days headache over a 30-day period changes Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) scores at 3 months. Results: At baseline had similar numbers mean MIDAS scores. end treatment period, significant reduction frequency respect (P <...
