Subclinical affective and cognitive fluctuations in Parkinson’s disease: a randomized double-blind double-dummy study of Oral vs. Intrajejunal Levodopa
Chronic levodopa treatment in Parkinson’s disease (PD) may promote undesirable motor and non-motor fluctuations. Compared to chronic oral levodopa treatment, continuous infusion of levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) in advanced PD reduces motor fluctuations. However, differences in their effect on acute non-motor changes were not formally demonstrated.
Potential benefits of music playing in stroke upper limb motor rehabilitation
Music-based interventions have emerged as a promising tool in stroke motor rehabilitation as they integrate most of the principles of motor training and multimodal stimulation. This paper aims to review the use of music in the rehabilitation of upper extremity motor function after stroke.
