Trial summary

Action slowing has been demonstrated in many diseases. Parkinson's disease (PD) and Huntington's disease (HD) are two neurodegenerative diseases affecting the basal ganglia, particularly the medial globus pallidus, and the clinical expression of these two diseases is characterized by a combination of motor and… Read more about this study

About this study

Action slowing has been demonstrated in many diseases. Parkinson's disease (PD) and Huntington's disease (HD) are two neurodegenerative diseases affecting the basal ganglia, particularly the medial globus pallidus, and the clinical expression of these two diseases is characterized by a combination of motor and cognitive disorders, but with two opposing patterns of dysfunction. Action slowing has been demonstrated in both of these diseases and has been extensively studied in Parkinson's disease, suggesting a perceptive-cognitive origin. Far fewer studies have been conducted in Huntington's disease. However, all of these studies were performed with different methodologies in small cohorts and the value of the proposed study is to use a validated and standardized computerized mental chronometry paradigm, providing a better understanding of the mechanisms of action slowing in these two diseases and to more clearly define a disease-specific profile.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease and Huntington Disease, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens 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 13 inclusion and 9 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 5 Dec 2016. 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?

SRT (time frame: Day 0). 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 5 Dec 2016.
