About this study

Investigator have recently shown that Parkinson disease patients' with restless leg Syndrome have more frequent impulse control behavior in particular compulsive feeding that patients without Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS).

Investigator hypothesized that presence of RLS in parkinsonian patients could be a risk factor for the emergence of TCI or associated behaviors, occurring preferentially at night.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) the effect of the presence of a RLS on the evening compulsive eating behavior by studying the circadian modulation of food intake of patients with RLS and impulse control disorders.

For this investigator conduct a prospective study, with 2 groups of Parkinson disease patients (with and without restless leg syndrome), to which investigator have to fill an agenda to know the schedule of the behaviors during the day and the night.

Read the detailed description

Type of study: prospective, case control study Number of center: 1 (Clermont Ferrand)

Patients:

The study will be performed in 60 patients with Parkinson disease (30 with RLS and 30 without RLS)

Study Performance:

During the first visit (baseline, inclusion visit, 1 hour), each patient will perform an interview about medical history and a neurological examination in order to identify RLS (evaluation using the IRLSSG rating scale).

  • Parkinson disease severity will be assessed with the Movement Disorder Society-Sponsored Revision of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS UPDRS) and the Hoehn and Yahr scale.
  • Cognitive assessment will be evaluated with the Montreal Cognitive assessment (MoCA)
  • Blood test to explore plasma ferritin, renal function and plasma glucose. A diary to note all the impulse control behaviour will be given to each patient in order to be completed for the next visit.

Finally, an actimetry system (a watch) will be also provided for each patient in order to record the sleep-wake rhythm and to evaluate the quality and the duration of the sleep.

During the second visit (Baseline + 15 days), each patients will have :

  • a neuropsychological assessment (using the Ardouin scale of behavior in Parkinson's disease ASBPD)
  • an evaluation of the night eating disorders :
  • The night eating syndrome will be evaluated with Night Eating Questionnaire (NEQ)
  • The Sleep related eating disorders will be evaluated with the International classification of sleep disorders-third edition criteria
  • an evaluation of the Iimpulse control disorder using the questionnaire for impulsive-compulsive disorders in Parkinson's disease rating scale (QUIP RS).
  • A sleep and vigilance evaluation using the Epworth scale, the Parkinson's disease sleep scale, the single-question screen for rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder and the REM sleep behavior disorder screening questionnaire.

Diary and actimetry will be recovered.

What participants receive

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

  • Diary (for reporting all impulse control disorders especially compulsive eating disorders)Behavioural

    During 7 days, at home, patients must report in their diary all their impulse control disorders especially their compulsive eating disorders. They will detailed each food intake and drink intake and the time.

What is being measured

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

  1. The percentage of daily night food intake measured at baseline + 15 day using the diary.

    Measured: at baseline + 15 day

Secondary outcomes (6)

    Measured: at baseline + 15 day

  2. Percentage of patients with compulsive food intake measured at baseline + 15 day

    Measured: at baseline + 15 day

  3. Percentage of patients with others impulse control disorders or other associated behavior measured at baseline + 15 day

    Measured: at baseline + 15 day

  4. Percentage of patients with the night eating syndrome using the Night Eating Questionnaire measured at baseline + 15 days

    Measured: at baseline + 15 day

  5. Percentage of patients with Sleep related eating disorders using the International classification of sleep disorders-third edition criteria measured at baseline + 15 days

    Measured: at baseline + 15 day

  6. sleep caracteristics measured at baseline + 15 days using the accelerometry data

    Measured: at baseline + 15 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study of Parkinson Disease and Restless Leg Syndrome, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand 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 6 inclusion and 7 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 10 Jul 2023. 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 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?

The percentage of daily night food intake measured at baseline + 15 day using the diary. (time frame: at baseline + 15 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 10 Jul 2023.
