Trial summary

The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to assess the impact of progressive resistance exercise (PRE) in PD patients with akinesia and rigidity (AR-subtype). The investigators hypothesized the intervention would have a beneficial effect on the study outcomes. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Progressive Resistance Exercise in Akinetic-rigid Parkinson's Disease Patients

The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to assess the impact of progressive resistance exercise (PRE) in PD patients with akinesia and rigidity (AR-subtype). The investigators hypothesized the intervention would have a beneficial effect on the study outcomes.

Read the detailed description

Twenty-eight patients with PD AR-type of both sexes, were recruited for this trial. Each participant were assigned randomly to either intervention (N=13) or control (N=15) group.

The intervention group participated in sixteen PRE training sessions for eight weeks: two sessions per week on non-consecutive days, sixty-seventy min each one. The control group followed their usual weekly physical activity routine.

All patients underwent antrophometrical and neuromuscular function assessment (CoP measurements -primary outcomes- and the Ten-Meters Walk Test -TMWT- -secondary outcomes-). In addition, they were asked to provide ratings for the Spanish validated versions of the the Freezing of Gait Questionnaire (FOG-Q, 6-item version) -secondary outcomes-, the 39-item Parkinson ́s disease Questionnaire (PDQ39) -secondary outcomes- and the MDS-UPDRS -secondary outcomes-. Additionally, ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) (Borg >6-20 scale) - secondary outcomes-, were recorded at the end of each PRE training session. Tests were carried out at three times: pre-test (before the training program), post-test (eight weeks after pre-tests, at the end of the training period), and four weeks after the post-test (re-test).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Progressive resistance exercise and Physical Activity in people with Parkinson Disease, run by University of Oviedo at 1 site in Spain.

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 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 17 Nov 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 Spain. 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?

Static posturography through the centre of pressures measurements (CoP). (time frame: Eight weeks). 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 NCT02966600, which also lists 2 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 17 Nov 2016.
