Mapping Functional Networks of Brain Activity (Brain Network Activation, BNA) Based on Analysis of Evoked Response Potential (ERP) Signals for Healthy Controls Evoked Response Potential (ERP) Signals for Healthy Controls and Patients With Parkinson Disease

May 26, 2014 updated by: Dr. Oren Cohen
A cornerstone in PD research is the investigation of neurophysiological changes as potential biomarkers that could help in tracking disease progression and response to therapies. Electroencephalography (EEG) could provide a non-invasive and relatively cheap tool for identification of such biomarkers. In this study we will use high-density electroencephalograph (EEG) recording, in order to develop a platform of biomarkers that could be more sensitive and reliable to disease progression and response to therapeutic intervention than standard clinical measures.

Study Overview

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Observational

Contacts and Locations

This section provides the contact details for those conducting the study, and information on where this study is being conducted.

Study Contact

Study Contact

The name and contact information for the person who can answer enrollment questions for a clinical study. Each location where the study is being conducted may also have a specific contact, who may be better able to answer those questions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

40 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

50 patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) 50 Healthy controls (HC)

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Idiopathic PD patients (according to the UK PD Society brain bank clinical diagnostic criteria (bradykinesia plus at least one other cardinal feature of PD, no atypical features or secondary cause) and HC aged 40-80 years
  2. PD patients Hoehn and Yahr stages I to IVStable PD therapy

Exclusion Criteria:

  • In the investigator's opinion, any unstable or clinically significant condition that would impair the participants' ability to comply with study requirements.
  • Patients or HC with significant psychiatric symptoms or history
  • BDI score <14
  • MMSE <25
  • Treatment with neuroleptics.
  • For PD patients: Hoehn and Yahr Stage 5
  • PD Patients with severe dyskinesia or tremor
  • PD Patients with atypical Parkinsonism or secondary Parkinsonism
  • History or evidence of neurological problems: cerebrovascular disease, previous head injury or neurosurgical interventions.
  • Currently with lice or open wounds on scalp.
  • Significant sensory deficits, e.g., deafness or blindness
  • Current drug abuse or alcoholism.
  • Pregnancy or not using a reliable method of birth control.
  • Participation in current clinical study or clinical study within 30 days prior to this study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
July 1, 2014

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Anticipated)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
