White Matter Pathology in Parkinson's Disease (PD)

NCT01039831 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 120

Last updated 2009-12-25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The relationship between WM lesions (WM) and Postural Instability Gait Disorders (PIGD-PD)in Parkinson's disease patients is largely unknown. We hypothesize that sub-clinical WM pathology may be a major contributing factor to PIGD-PD. We will compare two groups of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD): those with PIGD and patients with dominant tremor (n=120)to assess the role of brain WM changes.
