Trial summary

Parkinson's disease (PD) patients have some problem with self-initiated movement task. Compared with health controls, task meta-analysis found that PD patients showed abnormal activation in pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA) and putamen. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Individualized Precise Localization of rTMS on Primary Motor Area and Its Effects on Basal Ganglia

Parkinson's disease (PD) patients have some problem with self-initiated movement task. Compared with health controls, task meta-analysis found that PD patients showed abnormal activation in pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA) and putamen. And the functional connectivity has already been reported between pre-SMA and putamen in 2013. Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a sage and painless technique to activate cortical areas. The deep brain structure can be activated via stimulating superficial cortex by rTMS. For investigating the mechanism of self-initiated movement, this project is using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to individualize the precise localization in motor area and combining rTMS to activate putamen.

Read the detailed description

Healthy subject is recruiting in this project. High and low frequency rTMS will be performed, respectively. For the l-Hz sessions (low frequency), stimulation is delivered at 100% of the subject's resting motor threshold at 1 Hz continuously over 30 min for a total of 1,800 pluses. The 10-Hz stimulation is delivered at 100% of the subject's resting motor threshold via 60 trains of 3-s 10-Hz rTMS (30 pulses per train).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing rTMS in people with Parkinson Disease, run by Hangzhou Normal University at 2 sites in China.

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 2 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 30 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in China. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

degree of enhanced neuro-activity associated with frequency-specific treatment (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 NCT03497884, 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 30 May 2018.
