About this study

Beside these well-known symptoms (positive symptoms (such as delirium and delusions), negative symptoms (such as affective flattening and impoverishment of speech), disorganized behavior, patients with schizophrenia show different kinds of cognitive alterations and motor abnormalities. In schizophrenia, postural impairment could increase the attentional cost of daily motor tasks, leading to a lack of attentional resources, essential to achieve complex cognitive tasks. The intrication of cognitive and postural processings (both impaired in schizophrenia) can be explored by using of a dual-task paradigm.

Read the detailed description

This study assesses a psycho-corporal training (8 weeks psycho-corporal training) benefits on both postural (increased automation of balance control) and cognitive processings (smaller impact of the dual-task condition on attentional performances) in population of patients suffering from schizophrenia.

What is being measured

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

  1. the losses of postural and attentional control

    To analyze the losses of postural and attentional control under dual-task condition.

    Losses of postural and attentional control are calculated by one composite score named mu (Baddeley, Della Sala, Papagno, \& Spinnler, 1997).

    Measured: At 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. cognitive decrement

    To compare mean values of the cognitive decrement between baseline and 8 weeks in which the Redundancy value of the responses sequence to the random number generation task were analyzed using RgCalc® software (Towse \& Neil, 1998).

    Measured: At 8 weeks

  2. postural decrement

    To compare mean values of the postural decrement between baseline and 8 weeks in which the confidence Ellipse is used as main criteria to evaluate the participants balance ability postural sway platform (WIN-POSTURO Médicapteurs®).

    Measured: At 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Movement group in people with Schizophrenia, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne 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 5 inclusion and 3 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 14 Sep 2017. 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?

the losses of postural and attentional control (time frame: At 8 weeks). 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 14 Sep 2017.
