Trial summary

Although the literature review indicates that plantar pressure may be related to freezing, there are not enough studies examining the effect of freezing phenomenon on pedobarographic pressure distribution and gait parameters. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Investigation of the Effect of Freezing Phenomenon on Gait Parameters and Pedobarographic Pressure Distribution in Patients With Parkinson's Disease

Although the literature review indicates that plantar pressure may be related to freezing, there are not enough studies examining the effect of freezing phenomenon on pedobarographic pressure distribution and gait parameters. Therefore, the aim of our study is to examine the effect of freezing phenomenon on gait parameters and pedobarographic pressure distribution in patients with Parkinson's Disease.

Read the detailed description

Individuals diagnosed with Idiopathic Parkinson's disease by a physician and healthy individuals with similar demographic characteristics will be included in the study. Individuals will be examined in 3 groups: a group of patients with Parkinson's Disease with freezing phenomenon, a group of patients with Parkinson's Disease without freezing phenomenon, and a healthy control group.

What participants receive

What is being measured

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

  1. Computerized Gait Evaluation System

    This system allows the measurement of spatiotemporal features of gait.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Pressure distribution measurement platform

    This system allows the measurement of dynamic foot pressure distribution with the pressure distribution measurement platform integrated into the system

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Kinematic analysis

    Kinematic analysis of the gait can be performed with the camera support within the system.

    Measured: Baseline

  4. The freezing of gait questionnaire

    This scale is a scale that evaluates freezing. This scale is related to patients' experiences, especially in the last week. One article describes the frequency of freezing seen in patients.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Patients With Parkinson's Disease, run by Hacettepe University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 5 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 19 Aug 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Computerized Gait Evaluation System (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 4 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 NCT06505343, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 19 Aug 2024.
