Pushing the boundaries of medical research
Together with our network of partners within and outside UM, we are committed to advancing care, sharing knowledge, and driving progress towards curing movement disorders.
Elevate-PD
The main purpose of this study is to see how effective and safe CREXONT® is for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) in everyday life. CREXONT is a combination of levodopa (LD) and carbidopa (CD) used to treat PD. It was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in August 2024.
TrueBinding TB006PD2101
The main goals of this study are to assess if TB006 can improve motor function (movement-related symptoms) in Parkinson's disease patients, and to determine if TB006 is safe for use in this patient population.
Enroll HD
This research study will gather clinical information about you and your health and collect biological samples. Researchers will use this information and samples to learn more about HD and to try to find new treatments for the disease. Study participants will be individuals affected by HD or who come from an HD family who are eligible and willing to participate in Enroll-HD. The study is available for English and Spanish-speaking participants
CereGATE FOG LIGHTS
The FOG LIGHTS (Lessening Impairments in Gait with Hybrid Therapeutic Stimulation) Study is investigating the effectiveness of a new therapy for freezing of gait in people with Parkinsons who have an implanted deep brain stimulator. The purpose of the study is to determine whether or not CereGateTherapy can reduce freezing of gait in people with Parkinsons. CereGate therapy uses the Gevia™ DBS system that you already have, to create perceptible rhythmic sensations, or "cues", that may help to reduce your freezing of gait.
ADROIT - Abbott DBS Post-Market Study of Outcomes for Indications Over Time
Observational study of Deep Brain Stimulation patients with Abbott DBS system conducted to gather clinical data on how Abbott DBS systems are being used in routine clinical practice
Cuneiform Nucleus Stimulation for Levodopa-resistant Freezing of Gait in Parkinson’s Disease (DBS + FOG)
The purpose of this research study is to determine if DBS is a safe and effective therapy for severe freezing of gait in patients with Parkinson's Disease. Freezing of gait (FOG) is a particularly debilitating motor deficit seen in a subset of patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD).
PD GENEration
Mapping the Future of Parkinson's Disease is a national initiative that offers genetic testing for clinically relevant Parkinson's-related genes and genetic counseling at no cost for people with Parkinson's disease, in English or Spanish. You can participate from home.
ITI-214-202
This study is to investigate if adding a medication called Lenrispodun to your current Parkinson's disease (PD) treatment can help make your symptoms better. You may be eligible to participate if you areexperiencing wearing OFF symptoms or dyskinesia and currently taking carbidopa/levodopa.
LUMA Study (Biogen)
The goal of this study is to investigate whether BIIB122 (study drug) may delay progression of PD. You may be eligible to participate if you are between 30 to 80 years of age and have been recently diagnosed with early-stage PD.
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Retrospective Outcomes Study
For patients who have had DBS surgery with the Boston Scientific Study. The main goal is to characterize real-world clinical outcomes of DBS using a retrospective review of de-identified patient records. This study is data collection only.
Registry of Deep Brain Stimulation with the Boston Scientific VERCISE™ System
Vercise™ DBS Registry: For patients considering Deep Brain Stimulation – Boston Scientific Corporation’s commercially approved Boston Scientific Vercise™ System for DBS. This study will evaluate the economic value and technical performance of the Vercise™ System.
A Phenotypic study of ATP1A3 disease
The purposes of this study are to identify persons with rapid-onset dystonia-parkinsonism (RDP), alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC), or other diseases caused by mutations of the ATP1A3 gene, document prevalence of the disease, and map its natural history. This study, which is a continuation of an earlier study begun by Dr. Allison Brashear, aims to more clearly identify the characteristics associated with ATP1A3 disease and to explore whether mutations in the gene are associated with atypical dystonias, Parkinson's disease, and other movement disorders. The study involves in-person or remote (telemedicine) neurological assessments and blood samples for genetic analysis.
