About this study

Official title: Decrement of the Dual-task Performance in Individuals With Young-onset Parkinson's Disease and the Training Effects

This study aimed to investigate the effects of Game based dual-task training with treadmill on executive function and dual-task performance in individuals with early-onset PD and discuss the correlation between the change values of executive function and dual-task performance after training. Besides, investigate cortical activation after training.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dual-task walking performance

    To evaluate gait parameters while doing dual-task walking

    Measured: Change from baseline at 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Single walking performance

    To evaluate gait parameters while doing single walking

    Measured: Change from baseline at 8 weeks

  2. Timed up and go test

    To evaluate functional walking ability

    Measured: Change from baseline at 8 weeks

  3. Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire 39

    To evaluate the quality of life

    Measured: Change from baseline at 8 weeks

  4. Frontal lobe battery test-Chinese version

    To evaluate executive function

    Measured: Change from baseline at 8 weeks

  5. Trail-making test

    To evaluate executive function

    Measured: Change from baseline at 8 weeks

  6. Stroop color and word test-Chinese version

    To evaluate executive function

    Measured: Change from baseline at 8 weeks

  7. Verbal fluency test-Chinese version

    To evaluate executive function

    Measured: Change from baseline at 8 weeks

  8. Digit span test

    To evaluate executive function

    Measured: Change from baseline at 8 weeks

  9. Dual-task costs

    To compare the cost between doing dual task and single task

    Measured: Change from baseline at 8 weeks

  10. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy

    To evaluate the changes of blood perfusion in frontal lobe

    Measured: Change from baseline at 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Game based dual-task training and Treadmill training in people with Early Onset Parkinson Disease and Early Stage Parkinson Disease, run by National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jul 2019. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yang Yearu, Ph.D. (+88628267279, yryang@ym.edu.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Dual-task walking performance (time frame: Change from baseline 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 29 Jul 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
