About this study

Official title: Frequency Effect of Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation Through the Dual System on Freezing of Gait in Parkinson Disease

We aim to confirm the effect for FOG by changing the frequency through the dual-system approach in PD patients after STN-DBS.

Read the detailed description

The investigators set two values of frequency (130, 60Hz) in IPG and allow the patients to change the frequencies freely using the patient controller. After four weeks, the investigators will check the UPDRS part I, II, IV, FOG-Q, and PDQ-39 values at each frequency, including the proportion of use of two frequencies.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Application of dual system in frequency ADevice

    The investigators set two values of frequency (130, 60Hz) in IPG and allow the patients to change the frequencies freely using the patient controller. Technician randomly sets 130 Hz, 60HZ to A or B.

  • Application of dual system in frequency BDevice

    The investigators set two values of frequency (130, 60Hz) in IPG and allow the patients to change the frequencies freely using the patient controller. Technician randomly sets 130 Hz, 60HZ to A or B.

What is being measured

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

  1. Stimulation frequency ratio in 4 weeks

    Proportion of two frequencies in 4 weeks

    Measured: 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Comparison of Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part I score in 130 and 60Hz at the fourth week

    Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part I score will be used to compare 130Hz with 60Hz. Higher scores mean a worse outcome. [minimum 0, maximum 52]

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Comparison of Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part II score in 130 and 60Hz at the fourth week

    Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part II score will be used to compare 130Hz with 60Hz. Higher scores mean a worse outcome. [minimum 0, maximum 52]

    Measured: 4 weeks

  3. Comparison of Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part IV score in 130 and 60Hz at the fourth week

    Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part IV score will be used to compare 130Hz with 60Hz. Higher scores mean a worse outcome. [minimum 0, maximum 24]

    Measured: 4 weeks

  4. Comparison of Freezing of Gait Questionnaire score in 130 and 60Hz at the fourth week

    Freezing of Gait Questionnaire score will be used to compare 130Hz with 60Hz. Higher scores mean a worse outcome. [minimum 0, maximum 24]

    Measured: 4 weeks

  5. Comparison of Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39 score in 130 and 60Hz at the fourth week

    Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39 score will be used to compare 130Hz with 60Hz. Higher scores mean a worse outcome. [minimum 0, maximum 156]

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Application of dual system in frequency A and Application of dual system in frequency B in people with Parkinson Disease, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 26 Feb 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Stimulation frequency ratio in 4 weeks (time frame: 4 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 26 Feb 2020.
