Trial summary

Huntington's disease is a hereditary disease of rare autosomal dominant transmission, both neurodegenerative and neuro-psychiatric. Clinically, there are motor symptoms (chorea), cognitive disorders (dementia) and psychiatric disorders. Among motor disorders, dysarthria is a commonly found symptom. Read more about this study

About this study

Huntington's disease is a hereditary disease of rare autosomal dominant transmission, both neurodegenerative and neuro-psychiatric. Clinically, there are motor symptoms (chorea), cognitive disorders (dementia) and psychiatric disorders.

Among motor disorders, dysarthria is a commonly found symptom. This is classically referred to as hyperkinetic dysarthria according to the criteria of Darley's classification. However, this old classification (1969) is only based on perceptual analysis and lack of specificity.

Moreover, in the course of the disease, chorea (control of the striatal attack D2) decreases to give place to a parkinsonian syndrome (control of the striatal attack D1) and the dysarthria also evolves towards a hypokinetic form . It also seems likely that cerebellar involvement (responsible for ataxia) contributes to dysarthria.

No studies have been published to date to characterize dysarthria in Huntington's disease in a quantified, objective and specific manner. However, Canan Ozsancak describes choreic dysarthria as heterogeneous according to the patients and variable according to the productions. A perceptual study reports an imprecision of the consonants, a lengthening of the pauses, a variable flow, an absence of modulation of the pitch and a hoarse voice.

Finally, few patients are cared for in speech therapy and there is no specific rehabilitation strategy: this would require - and justify a more precise study of the dysarthria of these patients.

The Clinical Evaluation of Dysarthria developed by Pascal Auzou and Véronique Rolland-Monnoury is a recent and partially standardized tool, combining qualitative and quantitative evaluation, which seems adapted to try to better characterize the dysarthria in Huntington's disease.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Study of dysarthria in patients with Huntington's disease in people with Dysarthria and Huntington Disease, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens.

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 6 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Analysis of the Clinical Evaluation Battery of Dysarthria using criteria to establish a clinical profile specific to Huntington's disease (time frame: 1 day). 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 5 May 2017.
