Trial summary

Nearly all Parkinson's disease (PD) patients eventually develop abnormal and unwanted movements (dyskinesias; LID) caused by the gold standard treatment, Levodopa. The severity of these movements can range from subtle to extremely debilitating and may or may not interfere with normal activities such as putting on a… Read more about this study

About this study

Nearly all Parkinson's disease (PD) patients eventually develop abnormal and unwanted movements (dyskinesias; LID) caused by the gold standard treatment, Levodopa. The severity of these movements can range from subtle to extremely debilitating and may or may not interfere with normal activities such as putting on a coat or brushing ones teeth. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the validity and reliability of objectively measuring dyskinesia with a forceplate.

Read the detailed description

The main outcome measure of this study are measurements taken every half hour during an inpatient study visit. These measurements include standing on a forceplate for 1 minute while performing a mental task such as reciting the alphabet backwards. During this forceplate stance, a rater will visually score your movements. All participants must be eligible for another Parkinson's disease study at Oregon Health and Science University.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson's Disease, run by Oregon Health and Science University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Forceplate Measure (time frame: Every 1/2 hour). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00912977, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Sep 2016.
