About this study

Voltage fluctuation as a result of brain activity will be recorded into the computer using an EEG device.

Read the detailed description

Patients with Parkinson's disease may have gait disturbances including freezing of gait. Visual and auditory stimuli may improve gait. Investigators will analyze brain wave during walking while giving the subject different stimuli.

The voltage fluctuation (in hundreds of microvolts) will be recorded using the EEG cap and amplifier into a computer.

Being tested
Baseline, visual stimuli, Auditory stimuli, Visual and auditory stimuli
Medical subject headings
Parkinson Disease

What participants receive

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

  • BaselineBehavioural

    Patients will walk naturally with EEG measuring brain waves

  • visual stimuliBehavioural

    Patients will walk naturally with EEG measuring brain waves while seeing a grid through glasses

  • Auditory stimuliBehavioural

    Patients will walk naturally with EEG measuring brain waves while hearing an auditory stimuli

  • Visual and auditory stimuliBehavioural

    Patients will walk naturally with EEG measuring brain waves while seeing a grid through glasses and hearing an auditory stimuli simultaneously

What is being measured

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

  1. Voltage fluctuation resulting from brain activity after visual stimuli

    Change in brain wave activity after visual stimuli as compared with baseline measured in tens of micro-volts per second.

    Measured: One hour

  2. Voltage fluctuation resulting from brain activity after auditory stimuli

    Change in brain wave activity after auditory stimuli as compared with baseline measured in tens of micro-volts per second.

    Measured: One hour

  3. Voltage fluctuation resulting from brain activity after visual and auditory stimuli

    Change in brain wave activity after visual and auditory stimuli as compared with baseline measured in tens of micro-volts per second.

    Measured: One hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Baseline, visual stimuli and Auditory stimuli in people with Parkinson's Disease, run by Rambam Health Care Campus.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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 7 Jun 2016. 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 Ilana Schlesinger, MD (972502062529), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Voltage fluctuation resulting from brain activity after visual stimuli (time frame: One hour). The study lists 3 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 7 Jun 2016.
