Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to examine whether scores on questionnaires that rate how much Parkinson's Disease (PD) has slowed movements of the body differ when the order of the questions are changed. The consistency and accuracy of the questionnaires will also be examined. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Investigation of the Psychometric Properties of the Bradykinesia Subscale When Administered Alone Versus as a Component of the Entire Motor Examination Section of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale

The purpose of this study is to examine whether scores on questionnaires that rate how much Parkinson's Disease (PD) has slowed movements of the body differ when the order of the questions are changed. The consistency and accuracy of the questionnaires will also be examined. It is hypothesized that there will not be a difference.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Bradykinesia UPDRS Motor Full ExaminationOther

    Also called Experimental group

    The first group will receive the full motor examination section in its original order.

  • Bradykinesia subscale of UPDRS Motor ExaminationOther

    Also called Subscale 1, Bradykinesia subscale

    The second group will receive the bradykinesia subscale first followed by the remainder of the motor examination section.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Scores on the UPDRS motor evaluation subscale are equivalent.

    Measured: 4 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Correlations between the UPDRS motor examination bradykinesis subscale and the remaining UPDRS motor examination items, Hoeh and Yahr stage, Schwab and England scale, and SPES/SCOPA motor evaluation.

    Measured: 4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson's Disease, run by Teva Branded Pharmaceutical Products R&D, Inc..

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 7 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Scores on the UPDRS motor evaluation subscale are equivalent. (time frame: 4 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 7 Apr 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
