Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to measure motor fluctuations and dyskinesias in patients with Parkinson's disease using movement sensors (accelerometers and gyroscopes) to determine if this is a feasible measure to use in addition to self report, and eventually the goal will be to replace self report with a more… Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The initial study population for this pilot study will consist of approximately 20 people. The study will be comprised of approximately equal numbers of men and women. The gender and ethnic origins of the patients seen in the University of Rochester Movement Disorders Center (from which subjects will be recruited) are approximately 60% male and 40% female; 91% Caucasian, 1% African American, 1% Hispanic, and 0.5% Asian (6% Unknown). There are no restrictions on gender or race, however non-english speaking patients will be excluded as the consent form will initially only be available in English. Parkinson disease is exceedingly rare in children and only adults will be enrolled for this study.

Who may be able to join

  • Participants who will be included in the study have probable or definite idiopathic PD (CAPSIT criteria (23)), Hoehn \& Yahr stage 2-4;
  • One or more of the following PD-associated motor impairments experienced in the week prior to enrollment (based on history and/or examination): motor fluctuations (end of dose wearing off with hypokinesia and/or levodopa-induced choreiform dyskinesias), tremor, freezing of gait, or frequent falls (≥ 1 per week).

Who cannot join

  • Neurological disorders (other than PD) or orthopedic deficits that, in the investigator's judgement, contribute substantially to impaired movement (e.g. stroke with motor sequelae;
  • Essential tremor;
  • Severe osteoarthritis);
  • Cognitive impairment sufficiently severe to interfere with informed consent.

About this study

The purpose of this study is to measure motor fluctuations and dyskinesias in patients with Parkinson's disease using movement sensors (accelerometers and gyroscopes) to determine if this is a feasible measure to use in addition to self report, and eventually the goal will be to replace self report with a more reliable measure such as movement sensors.

Read the detailed description

Patients with Parkinson disease and motor fluctuations will wear movement sensors during their regular clinic visit with the principal investigator. The visit will be videotaped and medication status (ON without dyskinesia, ON with dyskinesia, or OFF) will be independently rated from review of the video.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease, run by University of Rochester 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 4 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 5 Oct 2023. 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?

1-3Hz gyroscope signal power (time frame: 30 second windows spanning the observation period). 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 5 Oct 2023.
