The Swedish BioFINDER 2 Study (BioFINDER2)
The Swedish BioFINDER 2 study is a new study that will launch in 2017 and extends the previous cohorts of BioFINDER 1 study (www.biofinder.se). BioFINDER 1 is used e.g. to characterize the role of beta-amyloid pathology in early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) using amyloid-PET (18F-Flutemetamol) and A analysis in …

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
The objective of this proposal is to investigate the effect of non-invasive repetitive cerebellar transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on motor control in progressive supranuclear (PSP). The central hypothesis is that augmenting cerebellar inhibition via cerebellar rTMS will decrease postural instability in patients with PSP by increasing functional connectivity between the …

Treatment of Disturbed Sleep in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP)
Prior research has identified profound sleep disruption in individuals with PSP. Not only were these individuals sleeping relatively short periods at night, they were also not recuperating lost sleep during the day. Research also showed the relative preservation of a series of nuclei key in regulating wake and arousal. Investigators …

Mobility in Atypical Parkinsonism: a Trial of Physiotherapy (Mobility_APP)
Patients with atypical parkinsonism often show gait and mobility impairment manifesting in early disease stages. In order to maintain mobility and physical autonomy as long as possible for these patients, we will examine the effect of two types of physiotherapy in patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear gaze …

Evaluation of Imaging Characteristics of [18F]PI-2620 PET in AD and PSP Patients Using High and Low Specific Activity
This is an open-label study without randomisation. All eligible patients will receive two administrations of the investigational imaging agent [18F]PI-2620 at a radioactive dose of 185 MBq, one with high specific activity ( 5 g tracer mass dose), another one with low specific activity (40-50 g tracer mass dose).

Evaluation of the Efficacy of a Two-week EMST on Dysphagia in Parkinsonian Patients (EMST-PS)
This is an interventional therapy study designed to evaluate the efficacy of a two-week intervention, i.e. training with a specialized exhalation training device (called expiratory muscle strength training; EMST150 or EMST75; Aspire Products, Gainsville, FL) on swallowing function in patients with neurodegenerative Parkinsonian disorders. This study involves a routine endoscopic …
