About this study

Official title: Large Sample Collection for Observation of PD Patients and Healthy Controls

Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (RS-fMRI) has frequently been used to investigate local spontaneous brain activity in Parkinson's disease (PD) in a whole-brain, voxel-wise manner. To quantitatively integrate these studies, we conducted a coordinate-based meta-analysis on 15 studies that used amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (ALFF) and 11 studies that used regional homogeneity (ReHo). All these ALFF and ReHo studies have compared PD patients with healthy controls. We also performed a validation RS-fMRI study of ALFF and ReHo in a frequency-dependent manner for a novel dataset consisting of PD and healthy controls.

Read the detailed description

Seed-based d Mapping (formerly Signed Differential Mapping, SDM) software (version 5.141 for Windows) (www.sdmproject.com) was used for meta-analysis.

For the validation, fMRI data were acquired on a 3 Tesla Magnetic Resonance scanner (Trio system; Siemens Magnetom scanner, Erlangen, Germany) with gradient-echo echo-plannar imaging sequences. Whole brain fMRI scanning was carried out. All participants were instructed to keep their eyes closed, relax, remain motionless, not think of anything in particular, and not fall asleep. Foam pads were used to minimize head motion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neuro-Degenerative Disease, run by Xuanwu Hospital, Beijing.

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 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 26 Feb 2018. 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?

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?

decreased spontaneous brain activity in PD patients (time frame: 06/2015-01/2016). 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 NCT03439163, 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 26 Feb 2018.
