About this study

Official title: Walking, Brain and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study of Motor Representations in Healthy Subjects and Amnestic MCI

Walking, Brain and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study of motor representations in healthy subjects and amnesic MCI.

Read the detailed description

Review and compare mapping brain activation in Magnetic Resonance Imaging about healthy subjects according to age (<40 years and> 60 years) and MCI through the combination of two paradigms: on mechanically simulated by Korvit® boots and imagination of the walk.

What participants receive

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

  • Brain MRIRadiation

    Also called KORVIT, GAITRite

    Brain MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) brain is a painless test that allows to visualize the different brain structures.

    Korvit, device made up of 2 shoes which reproduces the feeling to go. The Korvit® system appears possible to analyze the activated cerebral zones and to thus try to better understand the operation of the brain during walk.

    The GAITRite is a carpet for recording the walking operating parameters

What is being measured

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

  1. Review and compare mapping cerebral activation in brain MRI

    Review and compare mapping brain activation in healthy about MRI according to age (<40 years and> 60 years) and MCI through the combination of two paradigms: on mechanically simulated by Korvit® boots and imagination the walk. The primary endpoint is the analysis of fMRI brain mapping in accordance with the different paradigms of acquisition. The MRI data will be the subject of a specific statistical treatment, via dedicated software, which will be implemented under the control of the investigators who have conducted such an fMRI analysis in previous studies. Various brain mapping can be established from the data collected. It may include statistical comparisons between different preselected regions, and different experimental conditions, or correlation studies between brain activation and clinical parameters.

    Measured: One day

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Review and compare mapping brain activation in healthy subjects and MCI MRI in imagination alone walking.

    Review and compare mapping brain activation in healthy subjects and MCI MRI in imagination alone walking. the secondary endpoint will be the analysis of spatiotemporal gait parameters

    Measured: One day

  2. Study of differences in terms of activation of brain mapping

    Study of differences in terms of activation of brain mapping between mechanical stimulation task arch simulating the place of the step (pace to 120 steps per minute) and a random mechanical stimulation (not reproducing the place of the pitch) . the secondary endpoint will be the analysis of spatiotemporal gait parameters

    Measured: One day

  3. study of functional connectivity of sensorimotor cortex obtained by fMRI resting in the subject MCI.

    study of functional connectivity of sensorimotor cortex obtained by fMRI resting in the subject MCI. the secondary endpoint will be the analysis of spatiotemporal gait parameters

    Measured: One day

  4. study of the potential effects on muscle activation, and autonomic nervous system

    study of the potential effects on muscle activation, and autonomic nervous system of plantar mechanical stimulation reproducing walking. the secondary endpoint will be the analysis of spatiotemporal gait parameters

    Measured: One day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mild Cognitive Impairment, run by University Hospital, Angers at 1 site in France.

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 10 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 12 Jul 2021. 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 France. 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?

Review and compare mapping cerebral activation in brain MRI (time frame: One day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02574182, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 12 Jul 2021.
