Trial summary

Parkinson's disease mainly affects the dopaminergic neurons of the Substancia nigra, which project on the striatum. Neuronal death within this structure leads to a decrease in dopamine levels. Read more about this study

About this study

Parkinson's disease mainly affects the dopaminergic neurons of the Substancia nigra, which project on the striatum. Neuronal death within this structure leads to a decrease in dopamine levels. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter essential to the proper functioning of the basal ganglia highly involved in the control of voluntary and involuntary movements.

It also leads to cognitive and behavioral changes. Among these changes, the investigators will mainly remember the idea of the emergence of difficulties to make the right decisions, for example at the financial, medical .... This disruption would be the result of executive dysfunction. By definition, executive functions allow us to evaluate, plan and organize our actions to achieve a goal.

Read the detailed description

Some research shows that positive emotional states are associated with greater self-confidence, greater optimism, and better regulation of our decision-making. The goal is to test whether positive emotional induction could improve decision-making in Parkinson's disease.

Listening to music would decrease anxiety levels and increase self-esteem levels. Who says Parkinson says dopamine deficiency and so the investigators can think that the investigators can help patients by inducing a positive emotion through musical stimulation.

All participants will be subject to emotional induction. They will be divided into two different conditions: either they will be induced in a positive state, or they will be maintained in a neutral state. For this, video clips (positive or neutral) containing music will be presented. Immediately after the presentation of the video, participants will have to perform the Iowa Gambling Task test. This is a sequential task to evaluate decision-making capabilities.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cognitive examination, viewing of video and Iowa Gambling Task in people with Parkinson Disease, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 2 sites 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 5 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 19 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 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?

net score of Iowa Gambling Task Test (time frame: day 1). 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 19 Jan 2021.
