Trial summary

Investigators have developed a comprehensive questionnaire that assesses the presence of non-motor fluctuations (NMFs) in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). To date, 189 participants with PD have been assessed for preliminary data analysis prior to developing the penultimate version. Read more about this study

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Individuals, both men and women, who have been diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's Disease and have motor and non-motor fluctuating symptoms are invited to participate in the study. To ensure a representative sample, subjects spanning the disease spectrum will be equally represented in terms of mild, moderate and advanced symptoms of PD.

Who may be able to join

  • Diagnosed with Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease (according to the United Kingdom Parkinson's Disease Society Brain Bank clinical diagnostic criteria)
  • Stage of symptoms is mild, moderate or severe as per the Hoehn \& Yahr scale
  • Have motor fluctuations
  • Have non-motor fluctuations

Who cannot join

  • Atypical Parkinsonism
  • Lack of motor fluctuations
  • Lack of English language proficiency in either subject or caregiver

About this study

Investigators have developed a comprehensive questionnaire that assesses the presence of non-motor fluctuations (NMFs) in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). To date, 189 participants with PD have been assessed for preliminary data analysis prior to developing the penultimate version. At this time the objectives are to: (i) assess the scale's internal consistency and item-to-total correlations; (ii) assess test-retest reliability; (iii) use factor analysis and reliability measures to guide item reduction; (iv) assess construct validity; and (v) assess the scales ability to discriminate between static non-motor symptoms and non-motor symptoms which fluctuate (vi) estimate the relative distribution of cognitive, psychiatric, autonomic, sleep and sensory NMFs in PD patients with motor fluctuations and their impact on quality of life in Parkinson's disease.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease, run by Assistive Technology Clinic, Canada at 1 site in Canada.

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 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 8 Jul 2020. 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 Canada. 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?

Cronbach's Alpha (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Jul 2020.
