Quantification of Levodopa Induced Dyskinesia in Parkinson Disease: Developing Objective Measures of Levodopa Induced Dyskinesia (Study One)
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Levodopa (delivered intravenously) for Dyskinesias and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 36 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The ultimate goal of this proposal is to reduce dyskinesia in Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients. Dyskinesias are abnormal movements, often caused by the standard treatment for PD symptoms, levodopa. In this study, we will test if biochemical devices are equal to the clinical rating system in measuring dyskinesias.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
IV Levodopa is given from 09:00 to 11:00 am during the testing phase of the study. The IV Levodopa allows the researchers to watch one full "on" and "off" levodopa cycle while in the inpatient unit.
