About this study

Impact of unilateral modulation of deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus on freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease

Read the detailed description

Unilateral modulation of subthalamic stimulation and its impact on freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease will be studied.

In a cross-over, doubleblind, randomized study, a 30% reduction of stimulation intensity of the less impacted side will be compared with chronic treatment with regard to frequency and duration of freezing of gait episodes.

Being tested
Unilateral reduction of stimulation, Chronic Subthalamic nucleus stimulation

What participants receive

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

  • Unilateral reduction of stimulationProcedure or surgery

    30% unilateral reduction of Subthalamic nucleus stimulation

  • Chronic Subthalamic nucleus stimulationProcedure or surgery

    This arm is the reference, with the best stimulation parameters

What is being measured

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

  1. improvement of Freezing of gait

    the improvement will be measure with a composite score of items 12 + 13 on UPDRS II and items 10+11 on UPDRS III,

    Measured: 1 month after new stimulation parameters

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Unilateral reduction of stimulation and Chronic Subthalamic nucleus stimulation in people with Parkinson Disease, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 1 site in France.

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 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Sep 2016. 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 France. 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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

improvement of Freezing of gait (time frame: 1 month after new stimulation parameters). 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 NCT02704195, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 Sep 2016.
