This could be due to neuroprotective effects by modulation of the gut microbiota and decreased neuronal and metabolic inflammation. So far, the effect of a predominantly plant-based LPF-diet on the microbiome-immune-brain axis in patients with PD remains unknown. In addition, the influence of dietetic measures on the gut microbiome is variable and may depend on (long-term) adherence as well as on PD-specific factors and lifestyle.\n\nThe investigators hypothesize that compared to an average German diet, the predominantly plant-based New Nordic LPF-diet, as a culturally adapted diet, which is rich in fermentable fiber and phytochemicals, will have beneficial effects on the gut microbiome of patients with PD by increasing the abundance of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing bacteria (primary outcome) and will improve gut motility, metabolic resilience, and inflammation (secondary outcomes). Furthermore, the investigators postulate that a patient-centered dietary intervention program, including a multifaceted patient education and supported by a web-application, will lead to high adherence as a key determinant of long-term changes in the gut microbiome. This dietary intervention will be accepted by patients as a low-threshold treatment that balances personal benefits, therapeutic barriers and ethical concerns of early risk disclosure in PD.",[27],"Parkinson Disease",[29,30,31],"New Nordic Diet","Parkinson's Disease","Microbiome-Immune-Brain axis","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-04-28",{"date":35,"type":36},"2026-04-29","ACTUAL",{"date":38,"type":21},"2026-05",{"date":40,"type":21},"2028-07",{"name":42,"class":43},"University of Kiel","OTHER",2,{"id":46,"slug":47,"hasResults":11,"nctId":48,"briefTitle":49,"officialTitle":49,"acronym":50,"eligibilityCriteria":51,"healthyVolunteers":52,"sex":16,"minAge":53,"maxAge":54,"enrollmentInfo":55,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":57,"phases":4,"briefSummary":58,"conditions":59,"keywords":61,"overallStatus":71,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":33,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":72,"startDateStruct":73,"completionDateStruct":75,"leadSponsor":77,"locationsCount":78},"100408403","revealing-microbiome-association-with-plant-based-diet-in-freshman-100408403","NCT04598022","Revealing Microbiome Association With (Plant-based) Diet in Freshman","Freshman","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* freshman\n* following a vegan \u002F vegetarian \u002F omnivore dietary pattern for at least 3 months\n* own a smartphone (including internet access and camera)\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* regular use of medication (excluding oral contraceptiva)\n* use of antibiotics in the last 6 weeks\n* chronic disease, especially gut diseases\n* following a vegan \u002F vegetarian \u002F omnivore dietary pattern for less then 3 months\n* no clear assignment of vegan \u002F vegetarian \u002F omnivore dietary pattern\n* electrical implants",true,"18 Years","25 Years",{"count":56,"type":21},120,"OBSERVATIONAL","Aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of a vegan vs. vegetarian dietary pattern compared to an omnivore diet on body weight, saliva and stool microbiome profiles, as well as saliva, urine and plasma metabolome profile changes in freshmen after the first year at university\u002Fcollege.",[60],"Healthy",[62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70],"freshman","vegan","vegetarian","omnivore","microbiome","meal frequency","meal timing","freshman weight gain","metabolome","RECRUITING",{"date":35,"type":36},{"date":74,"type":36},"2020-10-01",{"date":76,"type":21},"2027-12-30",{"name":42,"class":43},1,{"id":80,"slug":81,"hasResults":11,"nctId":82,"briefTitle":83,"officialTitle":84,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":85,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":16,"minAge":53,"maxAge":86,"enrollmentInfo":87,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":89,"briefSummary":90,"conditions":91,"keywords":4,"overallStatus":71,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":93,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":94,"startDateStruct":96,"completionDateStruct":98,"leadSponsor":100,"locationsCount":101},"100554381","bilateral-subthalamic-stimulation-in-pd-patients-with-impulse-control-disorders---stimpulsecontrol-100554381","NCT06498349","Bilateral Subthalamic Stimulation in PD Patients With Impulse Control Disorders - STIMPulseControl","A Randomized Controlled Trial of Bilateral Subthalamic Stimulation in Patients With Parkinson's Disease and Impulse Control Disorders","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.

Technology offers an opportunity to augment and standardize parts of the NE. Eye-tracking systems provide objective quantitative data on eye movements by continuously tracking the eye over time. This data can be used to derive parameters like saccadic latency, gaze velocity, and fixation stability with a precision that is impossible to achieve through human observation by neurologists. The integration of such technology could enhance the traditional NE.\n\nBefore such technology can be widely adopted, its feasibility and acceptability in a clinical population must be established. The primary purpose of this study is to assess the usability of a novel eye-tracking system from the patient's perspective when used in a clinical settings. A secondary purpose is to determine if quantitative data from the eye-tracker correlate with the findings of the traditional clinical neurological examination and to explore whether eye-tracking can provide additional, complementary information not typically captured by standard clinical assessment.\n\nTo achieve these aims, the study will assess several outcome measures. The primary outcome measure is the Usability of the Eye-Tracking System, which will be measured using the System Usability Scale (SUS).\n\nBeyond the primary objectives, this study will investigate two secondary objectives.\n\nThe first involves assessing the relationship between quantitative eye-tracking parameters and clinical ocular motor assessment. Specifically, the investigators will analyze objective, numerical data obtained from eye-tracking systems and the clinician's subjectively graded assessment of ocular movements derived from the standard neurological examination.\n\nThe second is the exploratory analysis of novel eye-tracking biomarkers. This involves quantifying and analyzing eye-tracking parameters not typically assessed during a routine NE. For example, the dynamics of the pupillary light reflex or the frequency of microsaccades. The aim is to identify potential digital biomarkers that could provide additional objective insights into ocular motor function and neurological status.",[114,115,116,117],"Geriatric","Parkinsons Disease (PD)","Progressive Supranuclear Palsy(PSP)","Neurological Diseases or Conditions","2025-08-24",{"date":120,"type":36},"2025-08-26",{"date":122,"type":21},"2025-08-31",{"date":124,"type":21},"2026-12-31",{"name":42,"class":43},{"id":127,"slug":128,"hasResults":11,"nctId":129,"briefTitle":130,"officialTitle":130,"acronym":131,"eligibilityCriteria":132,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":16,"minAge":4,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":133,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":135,"briefSummary":136,"conditions":137,"keywords":139,"overallStatus":71,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":144,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":145,"startDateStruct":147,"completionDateStruct":149,"leadSponsor":151,"locationsCount":44},"100601076","steps-against-the-burden-of-parkinsons-disease---telavivbologna-100601076","NCT07105787","Steps Against the Burden of Parkinson's Disease - TelAviv\u002FBologna","StepuP","Inclusion criteria\n\n1.
