Trial summary

Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) has become a choice treatment for fluctuating Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, inducing remarkable improvement in motor symptoms. However, as PD is a complex neuropsychiatric disease, it has been hypothesized that in some patients, non-motor features, i.e. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Development and Validation of a French Scale Measuring Preoperative Expectations of Parkinson's Disease Patients Candidate to Deep Brain Stimulation : the DBS-PS (Deep Brain Stimulation Perception Scale)

Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) has become a choice treatment for fluctuating Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, inducing remarkable improvement in motor symptoms. However, as PD is a complex neuropsychiatric disease, it has been hypothesized that in some patients, non-motor features, i.e. dysfunctional expectations for the result of neurosurgery, could interfere with postoperative result of DBS, even in case of motor improvement. Recent literature highlights the necessity to take these preoperative expectations into account, but to our knowledge, no specific scale investigating these cognitions in this PD-specific condition is available. So, the investigators developped the DBS-PS, a self-scale constructed to measure preoperative expectations for DBS, with 11 questions and visuo-analogical responses (1 to 10), theorically divided in three domains investigating the expectations concerning symptoms of PD, postoperative social-life and leisures, and postoperative familial and marital sphere. The investigators would like to validate this new-developped scale in the preoperative subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation population through patients recruited in the Predistim study, whereas the investigators did not recruite sufficiently patients through the PsyParkinson study, the one in which the DBS-PS scale was developed. The DBS-PS constitutes an interesting basis for the consideration of these cognitive and affective factors in preoperative PD patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Validation of the Deep-brain stimulation - perception scale (DBS-PS scale)

    Deep Brain Stimulation-Perception Scale completed by Parkinson's disease patients enrolled in the Predistim study; minimum scale score 0 - maximum scale score 50, for each sub-scores (3 dimensions) ; a higher score corresponding to higher expectations in the dimension, and a lower score coresponding to lower expectations in the dimension

    Measured: during the inclusion/baseline period of Predistim study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson's Disease, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France at 1 site in France.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Feb 2024. 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 France. 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?

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?

Validation of the Deep-brain stimulation - perception scale (DBS-PS scale) (time frame: during the inclusion/baseline period of Predistim study). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04933513, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Feb 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
