NCT03816020

Brief Summary

  1. 1.Primary objective: Determine if NR has an impact on the neurometabolic profile of patients with PD as measured by \[18F\]Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET).
  2. 2.Secondary objective: Determine whether high dose oral NR improves motor symptoms associated with PD.
  3. 3.Tertiary objectives: determine whether high dose oral NR rectifies NAD metabolism and increases NAD levels in body fluids and muscle tissue.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • PDRP changes from NR use

    The primary outcome will be the between-group difference in Parkinson's disease related pattern (PDRP) measured by FDG-PET comparing baseline and 3-4 week follow-up measurement.

    4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Motoric change of symptoms from NR use

    4 weeks

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Determine whether high dose oral NR rectifies NAD metabolism in body fluids and muscle tissue.

    4 weeks
