About this study

Official title: Cholinergic Pathways Hyperintensities Scale Could Not Predict the Change of Cognitive Status of Parkinson's Disease Patients After Bilateral STN DBS.

To retrospectively investigate the relationship between the Cholinergic Pathways Hyperintensities Scale (CHIPS) score and the change of cognitive status of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients after bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN DBS).

Read the detailed description

In this observational study, we will retrospectively analyze 38 PD patients who received bilateral STN DBS in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University during the year of 2008-2012. All patients will be evaluated by Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale part III(UPDRSIII) before and after operation. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA) in the on medication condition pre-operation and on stimulation on medication condition post-operation. The follow-up time points are one week pre-operation and 6, 12, 24 months post-operation. Before operation, white matter hyperintensities(WMHs)in the cholinergic pathways will be determined on a 3.0 Tesla MRI, using the visual rating scale of Cholinergic Pathways Hyperintensities Scale (CHIPS). A correlation analysis will be conducted to investigate the relationship between CHIPS score and the change of cognitive status of PD patients after bilateral STN DBS retrospectively.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of MoCA score during follow-up and its relationship with preoperative CHIPS score

    Measured: Pre-operation and 6, 12, 24 months post-operation

  2. Change of MMSE score during follow-up and its relationship with preoperative CHIPS score

    Measured: Pre-operation and 6, 12, 24 months post-operation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change of UPDRS III score during follow-up and its relationship with preoperative CHIPS score

    Measured: Pre-operation and 6, 12, 24 months post-operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson's Disease, run by First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University at 1 site in China.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 1 Apr 2014. 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 China. 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?

Change of MoCA score during follow-up and its relationship with preoperative CHIPS score (time frame: Pre-operation and 6, 12, 24 months post-operation). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 Apr 2014.
