About this study

Official title: Pilot Study for Development of a Monitoring Set-up and Algorithm Using Functional MRI (fMRI) and EEG for Prediction of Response to Repetitive Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rDTMS) for Patients With Parkinson's Disease

  • To characterize physiological biomarkers of positive response to rDTMS using EEG and functional MRI (fMRI) in patients with PD.
  • To develop a set-up and algorithm for neurophysiological monitoring for PD patients using EEG and fMRI in patients treated by rDTMS.
  • To integrate rDTMS stimulation with monitoring techniques with the ultimate goal of providing closed-loop feedback where monitoring informs the stimulation
Read the detailed description

PD Patients aged 40 years or older, diagnosed as idiopathic PD according to the UK Brain Bank criteria will be treated by an established rDTMS protocol will be monitored before, during and after rDTMS using quantitative EEG and brain network analysis and fMRI while performing a series of cognitive and motor tasks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Brainsway Multiway deep TMS device (two channels) in people with Parkinson, run by Sheba Medical Center.

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 17 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 26 Sep 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 Oren Cohen, M.D (972-3-5305296, Oren.Cohen@sheba.health.gov.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) (time frame: 3 month). 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 26 Sep 2014.
