About this study

The purpose of the study will investigate the safety and effectiveness with eight-week cycling-cognitive dual-task training for early Parkinson's disease.

Read the detailed description

Background: Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder of the basal ganglia in which the production of dopamine is reduced, leading to the motor and non-motor impairment and the loss of automaticity. Recently, the results across studies have indicated that motor-cognitive dual-task deficits in individuals with neurologic disorders appear to be amenable to training. Improvement of dual-task ability in individuals with neurologic disorders holds potential for improving gait, balance, and cognition. The most recent European guideline provides a more graded view, stating that in Hoehn and Yahr stages 2 and 3 dual-task training may be safe and effective. An overview of current ongoing randomized controlled trials focusing on dual-task rehabilitation, gait training or treadmill training was the major motor-task. However, cycling augmented by cognitive training has not been evaluated. In addition, antioxidant capacity is unclear for Parkinson's disease patients with long-term, regular cycling training.

Study purpose: The purpose of the study will investigate the safety and effectiveness with eight-week cycling-cognitive dual-task training for early Parkinson's disease. The antioxidant capacity will be assessed as well.

Methods: Parkinson's disease patients will be assigned to cycling training, cycling-cognitive dual task training, and following 8 weeks. All of the subjects will complete 3 assessments at pre-training, post-4 weeks, and post-8 weeks. The outcome measures are clinical severity and disability, performance of gait-cognitive and cycling-cognitive, cognitive-task performance, peripheral-blood oxidative stress, adverse events, etc.

Significance: In this study, evidence-based practice as the foundation, and perspective to design a safe and effective cycling-cognitive dual-task training for early Parkinson's disease. It can be verified in the clinical application of these experiments feasibility (practice-based evidence).

What is being measured

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

  1. Unified Parkinson's disease rating scale

    There are 4 parts subscores: part 1 (0-16), part 2 (0-52), part 3 (0-96), part 4 (0-23). Total scale range 0-187 (summed part 1, 2, 3, 4), higher values represent a worse outcome.

    Measured: 30 minutes

  2. Gait speed in cm/second

    using GAITRite with a 3.66-meter long and 0.9-meter wide instrumented walkway

    Measured: 5 minutes

  3. Step length in cm

    using GAITRite with a 3.66-meter long and 0.9-meter wide instrumented walkway

    Measured: 5 minutes

  4. Step width in cm

    using GAITRite with a 3.66-meter long and 0.9-meter wide instrumented walkway

    Measured: 5 minutes

  5. Step time in second

    using GAITRite with a 3.66-meter long and 0.9-meter wide instrumented walkway

    Measured: 5 minutes

  6. Double limb support time in second

    using GAITRite with a 3.66-meter long and 0.9-meter wide instrumented walkway

    Measured: 5 minutes

  7. Modified Hoehn and Yahr staging

    scale range 0-5. The scale was originally described in 1967 and included stages 1 through 5. It has since been modified with the addition of stages 1.5 and 2.5 to account for the intermediate course of Parkinson disease.

    Measured: 5 minutes

  8. Time up and go test in second

    The Timed Up and Go test (TUG) is a simple test used to assess a person's mobility

    Measured: 2 minutes

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Cognitive performance

    The cognitive performance was described as a composite score (%) = accuracy (%)/reaction time (ms) *100

    Measured: 10 minutes

  2. Dual-task interference

    The effect of the dual-task was calculated as the difference between single-task and dual-task performance expressed as a percentage of single-task performance

    Measured: 10 minutes

  3. Adverse event

    any complain from study subject

    Measured: 5 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dual-task cognitive-cycling training in people with Safety and Effectiveness, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital.

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 11 inclusion and 0 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 3 Oct 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?

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?

Unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (time frame: 30 minutes). The study lists 8 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 3 Oct 2019.
