AI-Enhanced Optimization of Acute Levodopa Challenge Test

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Vascular Parkinsonism, Drug-induced Parkinsonism, Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD), Parkinson Disease (PD), Dementia With Lewy Body Disease, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy(PSP), Multiple System Atrophy (MSA)

In brief

A quantitative evaluation method was developed for Parkinson's disease and other atypical parkinonism by integrating an innovative motor paradigm with perception technologies and artificial intelligence. Combined with traditional motor paradigms and the acute levodopa challenge test, this study aims to identify diagnostic cut-off values for PD and other atypical parkinonism, explore digital biomarkers for early and differential diagnosis, and establish a corresponding diagnostic model.
