About this study

Official title: Quantitative Modeling of Motor Performance in Parkinson's Disease After High Intensive Antigravity Locomotor Exercise or Deep Brain Stimulation

The purpose of this study is (1) to provide quantitative information of the motor manifestations of Parkinson's disease and (2) to quantify the effect of high intensive antigravity locomotor exercise or Deep Brain Stimulation implantations in Parkinson's disease.

Being tested
High intensive antigravity locomotor exercise, Deep Brain Stimulation

What participants receive

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

  • High intensive antigravity locomotor exerciseOther

    High intensive antigravity locomotor exercise, 3 sessions/week, for 8 weeks.

  • Deep Brain StimulationProcedure or surgery

    Deep Brain Stimulation implantation

Receives: Other: High intensive antigravity locomotor exercise

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Isometric Tremor Approximate Entropy

    Approximate Entropy is a metric. When used to quantify isometric tremor irregularity, information of dominant/pathological CNS oscillators can be obtained.

    Measured: Change from baseline up to 16 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High intensive antigravity locomotor exercise and Deep Brain Stimulation in people with Parkinson's Disease, run by University of Copenhagen at 1 site in Denmark.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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 24 Sep 2013. 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 Denmark. 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?

Change in Isometric Tremor Approximate Entropy (time frame: Change from baseline up to 16 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 24 Sep 2013.
