About this study

Official title: Effects of Dual Task Training And Treadmill Training on Physical and Cognitive Functions in Patients With Parkinson Disease

The ability of performing multi-tasking procedures is impaired in patients with Parkinson's disease. In this study, our goal was to detect the effects of dual-task training with treadmill training on walking and balance and to compare its effects on quality of life, cognitive functions and risk of fall, to treadmill training alone.

What is being measured

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

  1. 10MWT

    10 Meter Walk Test on comfortable speed

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. 10MWT with cognitive tasks

    10 Meter Walk Test with cognitive tasks

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. MoCA

    Montreal Cognitive Assessment

    Measured: 12 weeks

  4. TUG

    Timed Up and Go Test

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. PDQ-39

    Parkinson Disease Questionnaire 39

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. FES-I

    To evaluate fear of falling, all patients filled the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I). A series of 16 questions assesses the respondent's fear of falling for a range of ADLs. Each question was rated on a four-point scale.

  3. Stroop Test

    Cognitive assessment for executive functions

    Measured: 12 weeks

  4. FOGQ

    Freezing of Gait Questionnaire

    Measured: 12 weeks

  5. Falls Diary

All of the patients were scheduled on standard exercise programme. The patients in dual-task group received treadmill training with cognitive tasks and the patients in single-task group received treadmill training alone in addition to standard exercise programme. The training was scheduled as 30 minute sessions under supervision of a specialist, three times in a week for four weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dual task, Treadmill Training and Standard exercise programme in people with Parkinson Disease, run by Istanbul University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 6 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

10MWT (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 5 Apr 2019.
