About this study

Official title: Development of Parkinson's Glove for Detection and Suppression of Hand Tremor at Rest Among the Tremor-predominant Parkinson's Disease Patients With Medically Intractable Tremor

This study is aimed to study the feasibility and safety of parkinson's glove that combined 2 module of tremor detection and tremor suppression with electrical muscle stimulation for using as device for rest tremor suppression in parkinson's disease patients

Read the detailed description

Study Population

  1. Target: Thai Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with predominant rest tremor : 50 patients
  2. Population sample: Patients who are getting their treatment at the Chulalongkorn Comprehensive Movement Disorder Clinic at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital.

Study methods as follows:

  • All PD subjects will be provided the information on this research study and informed consent will be sought for every subjects.
  • All PD subjects will be interviewed by a movememt disorders specialist or a trained interviewer for their demographic and clinical data.
  • All PD patients will be examined for the severity of Parkinson's disease by a movement disorders specialist according the Unified Parkinson's disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), Hoehn and Yahr score, and tremor rating scale during the 'on period' in order to determine the additional effect of parkinson's glove and sham glove for suppression of tremor
  • All PD patients will be randomly allocated into 2 groups (25 Parkinson's glove and 25 sham glove) with block randomization method.
  • All patients will get Parkinson's glove for home-based usage for 14 days, the appointment for follow -up will be done for 4 times, with once daily phone call from investigators in order to check for improvement symptoms and all adverse events such as pain will be recorded and determined it severity by the visual analog scale.

Data collection

  • Demographic and clinical data: age, gender, clinical diagnosis, tremor rating scale, pain score by visual analog scale , Parkinson's disease's severity score for each subject according to establishing standard rating scale.
  • Tremor parameters form Parkinson's glove will be collected in SD card as 5 parameters: Peak magnitude, RMS, Angle, Frequency, Q. Number of stimulation times will be recorded.

Data analysis The statistical analysis in this study is based from SPSS program version 17. Categorical data will be analyzed for frequency and percentage. Continuous data will be analyzed by mean and standard deviation (SD). Non-parametric study would be preferred if the small sample size or in case of distribution of data do not present as normal distribution (determined by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test). The repeated ANOVA will be used for determined the efficacy of parkinson's glove in the difference times in follow up periods.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants who demonstrate the tremor suppression after use parkinson's glove

    To determine the tremor suppression after use the parkinson's glove by the tremor rating scale

    Measured: up to 1 month follow up period

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants who report pain or any adverse events from parkinson's glove

    To determine the safety of parkinson's glove

    Measured: 14 days periods of using parkinson's glove and in subsequent 1 month follow up period

  2. Determine the severity of pain related with parkinson's glove

    To determine the severity of pain by visual analog scale

    Measured: 14 days periods of using parkinson's glove

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Parkinson's glove in people with Parkinson's Disease, run by Chulalongkorn University at 1 site in Thailand.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Feb 2015. 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 Thailand. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Onanong Jitkritsadakul, MD, MSc (0863570212, onanong.jit@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants who demonstrate the tremor suppression after use parkinson's glove (time frame: up to 1 month follow up period). 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 Feb 2015.
