Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 100 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Pre-operative Inclusion Criteria: A good response to levodopa is required in order to exclude patients with Parkinson's plus syndromes, and will be defined as a 30% improvement in parkinsonian motor signs based upon the Unified PD Rating Scale (UPDRS) motor examination subscore, following the administration of 1.5 times the typical dopaminergic dose during the screening neurological examination. Patients must also have PD for a minimum of 5 years duration.
  • Additional inclusion criteria consist of: 1) Hoehn \& Yahr stage II or worse when off; 2) Intractable, disabling motor fluctuations and/or tremor; 3) Age between 30-75 years; 4) Unsatisfactory clinical response to maximal medical management (with trials of both higher and lower doses of antiparkinsonian drugs). 5) A stable/optimal medical regimen of antiparkinsonian drug therapy for at least one month prior to surgery; 6) access to high-speed internet in the home.

Who cannot join

  • Clinically significant medical disease that would increase the risk of developing pre- or postoperative complications (e.g. significant cardiac or pulmonary disease, uncontrolled hypertension).
  • Evidence of secondary or atypical parkinsonism.
  • MRI scan with significant evidence of brain atrophy or other abnormalities.
  • Dementia as evidenced by impairment in two neuropsychological domains and impaired or borderline neuropsychological function in one additional domain.
  • A major untreated psychiatric disorder.

What is being measured

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

  1. The number of participant clinic visits

    The number of in-person clinic visits required for each participant during the 6-month post operative DBS period.

    Measured: 6 MONTHS from date of enrollment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. PDQ-39 Scores

    Difference in PDQ-39 scores from baseline to the 6-month time point. PDQ summary index score 0-very good to 100 bad

    Measured: 6-months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nurse Telehealth and STANDARD DBS in people with Parkinson Disease, run by University of Florida.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jun 2023. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

The number of participant clinic visits (time frame: 6 MONTHS from date of enrollment). 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 Jun 2023.
