About this study

Official title: Internet-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to Increase Function and Quality of Life for Patients With Parkinsons Disease

The aim of the study is to investigate if an Internet-based psychological treatment based on principles from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can increase function and quality of life for patients with Parkinson disease.

Read the detailed description

The Internet-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT) will be given as an adjunct to the Standard Medical Treatment. ICBT will be compared to Standard Medical Treatment alone (SMT).

A secondary aim is make a preliminary evaluation of the ICBT-program with less and less active therapist support. It is hypothesized that both active treatments will be superior to SMT in improving quality of life and functioning and that ICBT with full therapist support will be superior to ICBT with lower level of therapist support.

Being tested

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 (from baseline) in WSAS (time frame: Baseline, nine weekly measure while in treatment, then the primary endpoint is after 10 weeks of treatment (Post), and there will also be up to two follow-up (FU) measures within 3 years from treatment completion). 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 NCT02627885, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
