Mapping Functional Networks of Brain Activity (Brain Network Activation, BNA) Based on Analysis of Evoked Response Potential (ERP) Signals for Healthy Controls Evoked Response Potential (ERP) Signals for Healthy Controls and Patients With Parkinson Disease

An observational study of Parkinson Disease, run by Dr. Oren Cohen.

Trial summary

A cornerstone in PD research is the investigation of neurophysiological changes as potential biomarkers that could help in tracking disease progression and response to therapies. Electroencephalography (EEG) could provide a non-invasive and relatively cheap tool for identification of such biomarkers. Read more about this study

About this study

A cornerstone in PD research is the investigation of neurophysiological changes as potential biomarkers that could help in tracking disease progression and response to therapies. Electroencephalography (EEG) could provide a non-invasive and relatively cheap tool for identification of such biomarkers. In this study we will use high-density electroencephalograph (EEG) recording, in order to develop a platform of biomarkers that could be more sensitive and reliable to disease progression and response to therapeutic intervention than standard clinical measures.

What is being measured

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

  1. Functional networks of brain activity in Idiopathic PD patients and healthy individuals measured using analysis of EEG Event Related Potential

    The study outcome measure are functional networks of brain activity of PD patients and healthy individuals established based on an analysis of EEG data recorded while study subjects perform ERP tasks

    Measured: 2 WEEKS

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease, run by Dr. Oren Cohen.

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 14 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 May 2014. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Naama Warman Alaluf, Msc (972-3-530-4931, naama.warmanalaluf@sheba.health.gov.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Functional networks of brain activity in Idiopathic PD patients and healthy individuals measured using analysis of EEG Event Related Potential (time frame: 2 WEEKS). 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 29 May 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
