About this study

Official title: Rhythm Game Park: a Training of the Rhythmic Skills With a Serious Game to Improve Gait and Cognitive Abilities in Parkinson's Disease

This project aims at assessing the opposite relation, namely the effect of a training of the general timing abilities on gait in Parkinson's disease. Timing rehabilitation will be done by the means of a serious game. Serious games are more and more used to improve the compliance and the efficacy of reeducaiton programs. Overall, we propose to test a low-cost tool for rehabilitation.

Read the detailed description

Auditory rythmic cueing is a method consisting in presenting a regular auditory stimulus (metronom or music) when someone is walking. It is known to improve gait in pathologies such as Parkinson's disease. It has also an effect on general timing abilities (e.g. tapping the beat of the music). This project aims at assessing the opposite relation, namely the effect of a training of the general timing abilities on gait in Parkinson's disease. Timing rehabilitation will be done by the means of a serious game. Serious games are more and more used to improve the compliance and the efficacy of reeducaiton programs. Overal, we propose to test a low-cost tool for rehabilitation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rythmic capacities

    Evaluate the effect of the training of the rythmic capacities (Sensorimotor timing abilities) on the walk and the speak

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. cognitive functions

    Evaluate the cognitive functions by Neurospsychologic tests

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Mesure of the neural reorganisation

    Evaluate the structure et connectivity by MRI

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Rhythm workers training Perceptive timing, Rhythm workers training sensorimotor timing and No Rhythm workers training in people with Parkinson Disease, run by University Hospital, Montpellier 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 8 inclusion and 17 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: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Dec 2021. 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?

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?

Rythmic capacities (time frame: 3 months). 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 29 Dec 2021.
