Bone Mineral Density Changes Among Clinical Subtypes of Parkinson's Disease

Bone Mineral Density in Tremor Dominant Type Compared to Postural Instability Gait Difficulty Type Parkinson's Disease: a Cross-sectional Study

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: —
• Study type: Observational
• Enrollment: 75 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Ordu University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 40 Years – 85 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The bone loss in Parkinson's disease (PD) emerges as a non-motor symptom with motor and non-motor outcomes, such as fracture and musculoskeletal pain. Bone mineral density (BMD) is decreasing in patients with PD when compared to sex and age-matched healthy controls. The changes in BMD according to clinical subtypes of PD is unknown. The investigators are planning to compare the BMD status between the tremor dominant and postural instability and gait difficulty type of PD.

Detailed description

The investigators are planning to complete this study between January and February 2019. This study will be performed at Ordu University Education and Research Hospital, Neurology Department. All patients admitted to the outpatient clinic will be evaluated in terms of inclusion criteria. The control group consisted of people who do not have any orthopedic, neurological or metabolic disorders which may affect the BMD.
