Home-Based Titration with Duodenal Infusion of Levodopa-Carbidopa Intestinal Gel in People with Parkinson's Disease: An Observational Feasibility Study

CONCLUSIONS: Telehealth-assisted home-based titration programs are feasible due to the length of the titration period, number of contacts, and time spent in PwPs' private homes, are rated satisfactory and safe by PwPs and caregivers, and may be a substitute for in-hospital treatment. Clinical recommendations including facilitators and barriers from a patient/caregiver perspective are displayed. This trial is registered with NCT4196647.PMID:38623494 | PMC:PMC11018374 | DOI:10.1155/2024/5522824
