About this study

The present project aims to investigate the financial capacity in patients diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease or parkinsonism, brain tumor (glioma or meningioma) and cerebrovascular lesion (stroke), in order to evaluate the presence and degree of impairment, and the role of some factors as potential predictors of financial incapacity.

The term 'financial capacity' means both operations relating, for example, to asset management or investing money, and activities of daily life such as shopping or using small sums of money; these activities are mediated by different cognitive functions, from numerical and arithmetic skills to decision making. Financial capacity is, in fact, an instrumental activity of daily life (i.e. Instrumental Activity Of Daily Living, I-ADL) whose impairment negatively affects the functional autonomy of the individual, so as to be subject to legal protection.

To assess financial capacity, the Numerical Activities of Daily Living - Financial (NADL-F; Arcara et al., 2017) will be administered, a battery of tests aimed at investigating both financial performance and financial competence according to the most recent neuropsychological models proposed in the literature.

What is being measured

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

  1. Numerical Activity of Daily Living Financial (NADL-F) in Patients with Parkinson's Disease/Parkinsonisms

    Assessment of financial capacity; score range=0-62; higher scores indicate higher financial capacities

    Measured: At baseline

  2. Numerical Activity of Daily Living Financial (NADL-F) in Patients with ischemic or haemorrhagic stroke

    Assessment of financial capacity; score range=0-62; higher scores indicate higher financial capacities

    Measured: At baseline

  3. Change from baseline in Numerical Activity of Daily Living - Financial (NADL-F)Patients with brain tumors

    Assessment of financial capacity; score range=0-62; higher scores indicate higher financial capacities

    Measured: At 3 and 12 months follow up

  4. Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)

    Assessment of global cognitive functioning

    Measured: At baseline

  5. Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB)

    Assessment of global cognitive functioning

    Measured: At baseline

  6. Activities of daily living questionnaire (ADL)

    Assessment of function independence in everyday life

    Measured: At baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease and Brain Tumor, run by Istituto Auxologico Italiano at 1 site in Italy.

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 4 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 30 Mar 2023. 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 Italy. 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?

Contact Nadia Bolognini, PhD (+39025821 ext. 8132, n.bolognini@auxologico.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Numerical Activity of Daily Living Financial (NADL-F) in Patients with Parkinson's Disease/Parkinsonisms (time frame: At baseline). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05791006, 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 30 Mar 2023.
