About This Parkinson's Disease Study in Ann Arbor

Balance problems and falls are common in people with Parkinson's disease but respond poorly to dopamine stimulating medications suggesting other causes. The main goal of this study is to assess whether imbalance and gait problems in people with Parkinson's disease may be related to vestibular (inner ear balance center) changes not related to loss of dopamine in the brain.

Sponsor: VA Office of Research and Development

Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

PD based on the United Kingdom Parkinson's Disease Society Brain Bank Diagnostic Research Criteria (n=64, gross recruitment)
age 45 years or older
duration of disease \> 5 years and/or Hoehn \& Yahr stages 1.5-4 able to ambulate independently and no evidence of dementia.

Exclusion Criteria

History of Meniere disease or recent onset of acute vestibular dysfunction, such as otolith disorders (BBPV etc).
Other disorders which may resemble PD, such as progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), vascular dementia, normal pressure hydrocephalus, multiple system atrophy (MSA), corticobasal ganglionic degeneration, or toxic causes of parkinsonism. Prototypical cases have distinctive clinical profiles, like early and severe dysautonomia (MSA) or appendicular apraxia, which may differentiate them from idiopathic PD and PSP. The use of the UKPDSBRC clinical diagnostic criteria for PD will mitigate the inclusion of subjects with atypical parkinsonism.
