About this study

Official title: Multicentre Observational Study of Impulsive Behaviours Following Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease

The objective of this prospective observational cohort study is to answer the following clinically important questions:

  1. In patients with a pre-operative history of ICBs, what is the likelihood of improvement or deterioration in ICBs post-operatively?
  2. What is the risk of developing post-operative de novo ICBs after Subthalamic Nucleus DBS (STN DBS)?
  3. Which factors are important in predicting changes in ICBs after STN DBS?
  4. What is the impact of ICBs on carer's quality of life QoL and burden?
Read the detailed description

The study will record outcomes related to ICBs for PD patients who have already been selected for DBS therapy as a routine clinical treatment in participating in DBS operating centre

It is routine practice to assess ICBs before DBS decisions are made, but the manner varies across DBS operating centres. The only additional factor to the routine DBS clinical pathway in this study is that the centres involved will perform assessments in a uniform manner to allow data to be combined. A unified set of clinical assessment scales for Impulsive Control Disorders ICDs and ICBs, as well as other relevant neuropsychiatric symptom assessment, will be added to routine pre- and post-operational clinical assessments for participants.

The primary endpoint of the study is the change in severity of ICBs. If subjects score above 1 in any of given questions on QUIP-RS, or if subjects had disagreement with carers regarding scores, The Parkinson's Impulse-Control Scale, PICs will be triggered. PICs then will be administered by our trained research fellow (AA), over phone or in the clinic.

Other scales to be administered are listed below:

  1. Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI)
  2. General anxiety disorder-7 (GAD-7)
  3. Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ9)
  4. Parkinson's disease questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39)
  5. EuroQol 5 Dimension (EQ-5D)
  6. Clinical Global Impression - Severity scale (CGI-S) at baseline and Clinician's Global Impression - Improvement scale (GGI-I) post-operatively.
  7. Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale
  8. Work and Social Adjustment Scale
  9. UPPS-P Impulsive Behaviour Scale

Assessments will be performed at baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months post-operatively.

Results will be analysed to ascertain potential predictive measures for ICBS development/change.

What participants receive

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

  • Subthalamic Nucleaus Deep brain stimulationDevice

    Also called DBS, Brain stimulation

    In deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy, a specific anatomical target in the brain is stimulated via surgically fixed electrodes. These electrodes release electrical currents of a specific voltage, wavelength, and frequency. They are connected via subcutaneous wires to a device called an implantable pulse generator (IPG) which is surgically fixed on chest wall, beneath the clavicle. After electrodes and IPG are successfully installed, a clinician will be able to adjust and modulate the stimulation via a remote device connected to the IPG to obtain a maximum potential benefit. Deep brain stimulation has been used in clinics to treat various neurologic diseases including neurodegenerative disorders, mainly movement disorders.

What is being measured

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

  1. change in severity of ICBs and development of new ICBs

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Descriptive analysis of recurrence of ICBs in those with history of ICBs using scores on QUIP-RS/PICs

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Descriptive analysis of de novo cases of Impulsive control disorders ICD/ICBs

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. predictive factors for de novo, recurrence and change in severity of ICD/ICBs

    Measured: 12 months

  2. change in ICB relate to quality of life in patients and carers

    Measured: 12 months

  3. change in ICD relates to changes in mood

    Measured: 12 months

  4. change in ICD relates to change in personality traits

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Impulsive Behavior and Impulse Disorders, run by King's College London.

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 1 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 5 Sep 2021. 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?

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?

change in severity of ICBs and development of new ICBs (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 3 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 Sep 2021.
