Effects of Lithium Therapy on Blood-based Therapeutic Targets in Parkinson's Disease.
This study aims to determine if one of three low doses of lithium therapy for 6 months can engage one or more blood-based therapeutic targets implicated in Parkinson's disease (PD) pathophysiology. Results of this study will help to determine if lithium therapy is worthwhile to further investigate as a potential …

Cortico-Spinal tDCS as Rehabilitative Intervention in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive technique, which has been demonstrated to modulate cerebral excitability in several neurodegenerative disorders and modulate intracortical connectivity measures. In this randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled study followed by an open-label phase, the investigators will evaluate whether a repetition of two-weeks' treatment with bilateral motor …

Effect of Ketone Esters in Parkinson's Disease
Ketones esters have shown to improve mitochondrial function and are currently use to enhanced functional performance. As Mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the proposed mechanism of neuronal injury in Parkinson's disease, the study aims to assess the tolerability,side effects and effect of oral ketone esters in Patients with Parkinson's disease.

Cognitive Changes and Neural Correlates After Rehabilitation of Masticatory Function in Elderly -an Intervention Study
Today in elderly tooth loss and loss of oral function is widespread, but it is an underexplored modifiable risk factor potentially contributing to the development of dementia. In this interventional study we want to investigate a "cause-effect" relationship between mastication and cognition in humans. A total of eighty (80) participants, …
