About this study

Official title: Validity and Reliability of the Dual Task Impact on Daily Living Questionnaire in Patients with Parkinson's Disease

The aim of our study is to investigate the validity and reliability of the Dual Task Impact on Daily-living Activities (DIDA-Q) to assess the degree of difficulty felt when performing dual tasks during activities of daily living in patients with Parkinson's disease. In our study, the validity and reliability of a questionnaire to assess the degree of difficulty felt while performing dual tasks during activities of daily living in Parkinson's Disease will be examined for the first time. The study will include 95 participants with Hoehn-Yahr Stage 1-3, diagnosed with Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease and able to walk 10 metres without an assistive device.

Read the detailed description

Dual task ability is defined as the ability to perform two activities simultaneously . It is known that the ability to perform a motor or cognitive secondary activity at the same time during walking (talking to a person next to you while walking or carrying objects while walking) leads to gait and balance problems of different severity depending on the type of secondary task in Parkinson's Disease (PD). When patients with Parkinson's Disease (pwPD) are exposed to dual-task walking, their walking speed and length of stride decrease, and the frequency of freezing phenomena during walking increases. Consequently the risk of falling increase during activities of daily living. Individuals often perform dual tasks while performing activities of daily living because of the nature of the tasks' requirements. Therefore, it has become important to evaluate dual task performance in order to create the right treatment plan in the field of neurological physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Although dual task performance is evaluated with different formulae in the literature, the number of scales evaluating the level of difficulty perceived by the patient during the performance of activities of daily living under dual task is limited. The validity of the existing scales for PD has not been studied. The Dual-task Impact on Daily-living Activities Questionnaire (DIDA-Q) is a patient-reported questionnaire developed to assess the degree of difficulty perceived when performing dual tasks during activities of daily living.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease, run by Marmara 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Mar 2025. 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?

DIDA-Q (time frame: 1 week). 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 17 Mar 2025.
