Trial summary

Parkinson's disease (PD) is usually responsible of cognitive and behavioral non-motor signs with a major impact on the quality of life. Social cognition is a complex system relying on emotion recognition (neurons mirror system (NMS)), the theory of mind (with its two parts: emotional and cognitive), but also on the… Read more about this study

  • Ages 30 to 70 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients likely to participate in the study and verifying the eligibility criteria will be identified within the Neurology C department as part of their neurological follow-up before and after deep brain stimulation. Healthy volunteers will be recruited among the spouses of the patients or via association like France Parkinson.

Who may be able to join

  • For all participants:
  • Man or woman
  • Participant not objecting to participation in the study
  • Age ≥ 30 and ≤ 70 years old
  • Specific inclusion criteria for patients:
  • Patients with Parkinson's disease with motor fluctuations and dyskinesias receiving deep-brain stimulation
  • Patients able to understand the issues of the study

Who cannot join

  • For all participants:
  • Person deprived of liberty by judicial or administrative decision
  • Person subject to a legal protection measure (tutorship, curatorship)
  • Person concurrently participating in another research project who may interfere with the results or conclusions of this study
  • Specific exclusion criteria for healthy volunteers
  • Person presenting or having presented a neurological or psychiatric pathology
  • Person with a serious medical condition
  • Person who has exceeded the annual amount of compensation authorized for participation in research protocols

About this study

Parkinson's disease (PD) is usually responsible of cognitive and behavioral non-motor signs with a major impact on the quality of life. Social cognition is a complex system relying on emotion recognition (neurons mirror system (NMS)), the theory of mind (with its two parts: emotional and cognitive), but also on the social and cultural environment and the personal history. The first step in this model is represented by the NMS, which seems to be altered in PD patients for both positive and negative emotions as shown in our preliminary study. The investigator purpose is to investigate the role of the treatment (levodopa and deep brain stimulation) on the functioning of the NMS

What participants receive

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

  • social cognition testsBehavioural

    The evaluation of social cognition will be carried out using questionnaires and a point lights computer test. During the computer test, participants have to watch several short sequences of interactions between two silhouettes and give an interpretation of the scene.

    Patients will be evaluated twice: one time before the surgery and a second time 1 year after surgery.

    Healthy volunteers will be evaluated only one time.

  • Quality of life self-questionnaireBehavioural

    Quality of life will be assessed using a self-administered questionnaire in the patients group only.

What is being measured

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

  1. Emotional resonance task score

    In the emotional resonance task, patients are asked to rate the emotional valence of fifteen 3-second silent videos. These movies show emotionally connoted motor interactions between two persons, each of them being depicted by 20 white dots moving on a black background (Point Light Displays (PLD) technique). Among these 15 videos, 5 has a negative valence (making someone cry, sadness, argument, hitting someone and anger), 5 has a positive valence (joy, dancing, giving a flower, laughing and cuddling) and 5 neutral valences (sit, stand, say hello, raise your arms and saw).

    The Emotional resonance score in parkinsonian patients undergoing treatment (dopaminergic or deep brain stimulation) will be compared to their score without treatment (OFF Dopa or OFF stimulation).

    Measured: 12 months following the inclusion

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Correlations between the emotional resonance task score and patients' quality of life self-questionnaire score (PDQ39)

    PDQ39 (Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire) is a 39-item self-report questionnaire assessing Parkinsons' disease-specific health and well-being over the last month. PDQ39 provide a summary score of the impact of the illness on functioning and well-being.

    Measured: 12 months following the inclusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon 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 7 inclusion and 8 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 7 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?

Emotional resonance task score (time frame: 12 months following the inclusion). 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 7 Feb 2024.
