About this study

This clinical trial study is conducted to detect the imaging characteristics of the patients with Parkinson's diseases (PD) by 7-Tesla (7T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Read the detailed description

In this study,we explored the imaging characteristics of PD. First, with the advantage of 7T, we detect the slight changes of PD with short diseases history compared with the healthy. Second, we investigate the different imaging characteristics in subtypes of PD, finding the effective neuroimaging biomarkers to distinguish different subtypes of PD. Finally, we take long time follow-up to evaluate the correlation between the imaging changes and clinical score alteration in PD.

What is being measured

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

  1. The change in motor symptoms in PD patients.

    The patient's clinical state was evaluated according to the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) and H-Y scale. The former scale total score ranges from 0 to 199, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms in patients. H-Y scale categorizes PD into five stages with higher stages indicate more severe symptoms.

    Comparison will be performed from examinations for case-control study versus for baseline and 5-year follow-up timepoints.

    Measured: 5 year after the conduction of clinical trial

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Functional connectivity alterations between individuals with different subtypes of PD and healthy subjects.

    The functional connectivity calculation is primarily based on the BOLD sequence, which is used to describe the degree of connectivity between different brain regions, reflecting the functional activity of the brain. A higher value indicates stronger connectivity and more active function.

    Measured: 5 year after the conduction of clinical trial

  2. Structural connectivity alterations between individuals with different subtypes of PD and healthy subjects.

    The structural metrics calculation is primarily based on the MP2RAGE and DTI sequence, which is used to describe cortical thickness, subcortical nuclei volume, as well as the connectivity of white matter connectivity, respectively. A higher value indicates larger thickness (volume) or stronger connectivity.

    Measured: 5 year after the conduction of clinical trial

  3. Clinical variables spectrum features linking to the motor symptoms and imaging spectrum features.

    Medical records and test data of patients, including demographic characteristics, motor scores, non-motor scores, common comorbidity, hematological analysis, coagulation function, lipids profile, blood biochemistry, were used to construct clinical variables spectrum features. The distribution characteristics of motor symptoms and imaging spectrum features were compared with the multi-dimensional matrix. Gene-imaging association analysis was also used to evaluate the imaging changes.

    Measured: 5 year after the conduction of clinical trial

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson's Diseases and MRI, run by Chinese PLA General Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 3 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Nov 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 China. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Haoxaun Lu (18813137635, plaluhaoxaun@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The change in motor symptoms in PD patients. (time frame: 5 year after the conduction of clinical trial). 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 8 Nov 2024.
