About this study

Official title: The Effect of Rehabilitation Training on Orthostatic Hypotension in Parkinson's Patients: a Randomized Controlled Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore raise-bed training Orthostatic Hypotension in Parkinson's Patients. The main question it aims to answer is:

Can raise-bed training improve Orthostatic Hypotension in Parkinson's Patients. Patients will be randomly allocated into the control group or the experimental group, all under rehabilitation treatment, the experimental group will be given raise-bed training. The study lasts 21 days for each patient. Researchers will compare Orthostatic Hypotension Questionnaire, Orthostatic Grading Scale, Composite Autonomic Symptom Scale 31 to see if raise-bed training can help improve the symptom.

What participants receive

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

  • Comprehensive rehabilitation trainingBehavioural

    Basic treatment, including corresponding control of risk factors and education on healthy lifestyles.

    Swallowing training, including lemon ice stimulation, mendelson maneuver, empty swallowing training, and pronunciation training.

    Pulmonary function training, including standing training, cough training, and diaphragm muscle training.

  • Rise-bed TrainingBehavioural

    gradually elevating the bed (head-up tilt) is one of the common methods to treat orthostatic hypotension. This treatment adjusts the patient's bed angle to gradually raise their body, promoting balanced blood distribution throughout the body and reducing orthostatic hypotension symptoms.

    In head-up tilt treatment, the bed angle is usually gradually increased from a horizontal position, and the specific angle can be determined based on the patient's condition and tolerance. This treatment process is generally monitored and controlled by medical personnel to ensure safety and effectiveness.

    The mechanism of head-up tilt treatment is to increase venous return by changing the body position and increasing the effect of gravity, thereby increasing cardiac preload, output, and blood pressure. This helps to reduce orthostatic hypotension symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, and fatigue.

What is being measured

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

  1. Composite Autonomic Symptom Scale 31

    The scale has a total score range of 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a higher symptom burden.

    In this case, a higher score suggests a greater presence of autonomic symptoms, including orthostatic hypotension.

    Measured: day 1 and day 21

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Orthostatic Hypotension Questionnaire

    The Orthostatic Hypotension Questionnaire score ranges 0 to 100 Higher scores on the Orthostatic Hypotension Questionnaire indicate more severe symptoms and a greater impact on quality of life.

    Measured: day 1 and day 21

  2. Orthostatic Grading Scale

    The Orthostatic Grading Scale is typically graded from 0 to 3, with 0 representing no orthostatic hypotension symptoms and 3 representing severe symptoms.

    In this case, a lower score on the Orthostatic Grading Scale indicates less severe orthostatic hypotension.

    Measured: day 1 and day 21

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Comprehensive rehabilitation training and Rise-bed Training in people with Orthostatic Hypotension, run by Zeng Changhao at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Mar 2024. 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 Taiwan. 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.

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Qianyun Lu, Master (15333866454, 535226944@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Composite Autonomic Symptom Scale 31 (time frame: day 1 and day 21). 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 6 Mar 2024.
