What is being measured

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

  1. Alteration of Brain Activities

    measured by magnetoencephalography

    Measured: At the time Immediately following the training

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The raw score change from baseline in the Movement disorder society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) part Ⅲ scores

    MDS-UPDRS retains the four-scale structure with a reorganization of the various subscales. The scales are now titled; (Part I) nonmotor experiences of daily living (13 items), (Part II) motor experiences of daily living (13 items), (Part III) motor examination (18 items), and (Part IV) motor complications (six items). Each subscale now has 0-4 ratings, where 0 = normal, 1 = slight, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, and 4 = severe.

    The total score is the sum of the subscale scores for Part III and ranges from 0 (no disability) to 132 (total dependence).

    Measured: At the time Immediately following the training

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Training with Neurofeedback and The other Training with Neurofeedback in people with Parkinson Disease, run by Osaka University at 1 site in Japan.

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 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Sep 2019. 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 Japan. 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?

Contact Takufumi Yanagisawa, Ph.D. (+81-6-6879-3652, tyanagisawa@nsurg.med.osaka-u.ac.jp), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Alteration of Brain Activities (time frame: At the time Immediately following the training). 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 NCT03837548, 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 11 Sep 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
