About this study

Official title: IR3MA Parkinson Cyclone in Life: Innovation, R3 Rehabilitation - Resonance - RTD Fluxgate Sensor, Multidisciplinary Approach

Comparison of two rehabilitation protocols in patients with Parkinson's disease and, therefore, identification of innovative rehabilitation protocols of proven and validated efficacy, through which it is possible to achieve:

  • Improved joint function and gait pattern
  • Reduction of the risk of falling or reduction of energy expenditure during physiological gait

Evaluation of the increase in maximal effort tolerance

  • Improved cognitive performances

Evaluation of the impact on the quality of life of the patient and family members

Identification of morpho-functional markers predictive of clinical and rehabilitative out-come through neuroimaging study.

What participants receive

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

  • IRMADevice

    For patients in an advanced state of illness, advanced neuromotor rehabilitation treatment included 1) robot therapies, 2) specific water courses (e.g. walking pools, hydrokinesiotherapy pools, etc.), 3) advanced cognitive treatments (e.g. virtual reality courses); 4) augmentative immersive therapy in a virtual environment; 5) courses also dedicated to social reintegration and inclusive activities (theatre-therapy, art-therapy, dance-therapy, agro-therapy, etc.).

What is being measured

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

  1. Berg Balance Scale (BBS)

    The Berg Balance Scale is a scale for assessing balance and the risk of falling

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing IRMA in people with Parkinson Disease and Physical Disability, run by IRCCS Centro Neurolesi Bonino Pulejo 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 8 inclusion and 6 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 6 Apr 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?

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?

Berg Balance Scale (BBS) (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 6 Apr 2023.
