About this study

Official title: Deep Brain Stimulation for the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease: Comparative Analysis of Clinical Effect of Stimulation of the Globus Pallidus Internus and Subthalamic Nucleus

This study provides an evaluation of 30 patients in 3 years, from the Unified Health System (SUS) irrespective of region of the country, signed with clinical Parkinson's disease in its intermediate stage and that the drug therapy is limited by side effects or beneficial effects provided by prior medication no longer be obtained even at high doses and have therefore the indication for treatment with deep brain stimulation.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this retrospective study is to compare motor and non-motor (olfactory, pain, cognition and metabolism) symptoms of the effects of deep brain stimulation target to the nucleus globus pallidus versus the subthalamic nucleus in patients with Parkinson´s disease.

What participants receive

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

  • Subthalamic nucleusProcedure or surgery

    Surgery will be performed in 15 patients with DBS target to the subthalamic nucleus

  • Globus pallidusProcedure or surgery

    Surgery will be performed in 15 patients with DBS target to the globus pallidus nucleus

Study groups in NCT02647372
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Endocrinological approachExperimentalParkinson patient submitted to DBS surgery target to globus pallidus nucleus or the subthalamic nucleus. Those patients will be endocrinological evaluation including metabolic measures, calorimetric parameters.
Receives: Procedure: Subthalamic nucleus; Procedure: Globus pallidus
Neurological approachExperimentalParkinson patient submitted to DBS surgery target to globus pallidus nucleus or the subthalamic nucleus. Those patients will be neurological evaluation including UPDRS scale.
Receives: Procedure: Subthalamic nucleus; Procedure: Globus pallidus

What is being measured

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

  1. Neurological approach measured by UPDRS scale

    UPDRS scale before surgery

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2 years

  2. Neurological approach measured by UPDRS scale

    UPDRS scale 6 months after surgery

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Neurological approach measured by UPDRS scale

    UPDRS scale 12 months after surgery

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Neurological approach measured by UPDRS scale

    UPDRS scale 24 months after surgery

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Endocrinological approach

    Evaluation of metabolic measures before surgery

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2 years

  2. Endocrinological approach

    Evaluation of metabolic measures 6 months after surgery

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Endocrinological approach

    Evaluation of metabolic measures 12 months after surgery

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Endocrinological approach

    Evaluation of metabolic measures 24 months after surgery

    Measured: 24 months

  5. Endocrinological approach - BMI

    Evaluation of body mass index before surgery

    Measured: 36 months

  6. Endocrinological approach - BMI

    Evaluation of body mass index 6 months after surgery

    Measured: 6 months

  7. Endocrinological approach - BMI

    Evaluation of body mass index12 months after surgery

    Measured: 12 months

  8. Endocrinological approach - BMI

    Evaluation of body mass index 24 months after surgery

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Subthalamic nucleus and Globus pallidus in people with Parkinson Disease, run by Hospital Sirio-Libanes.

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 8 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 17 Aug 2017. 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?

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?

Neurological approach measured by UPDRS scale (time frame: through study completion, an average of 2 years). The study lists 4 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 17 Aug 2017.
