November 21, 2018 updated by: Chang Gung Memorial Hospital

Effectiveness of Multimodal Exercise Program on Depression and Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients With Parkinson's Disease

Depression symptoms are common in Parkinson's Disease, it affects health-related quality of life. The evidence showed that exercise improved depression and HRQOL in PD patients. However, studies rarely considered the appropriate exercise program for PD patients, we want to find the best exercise program for PD patients.

Conditions

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.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Objective: Evaluate the effectiveness of a 8-week multimodal exercise program on depression and HRQOL in PD Patients.

Methods: Single-blinded, randomized controlled trial, from March 2016 to January 2017. Ninety-eight patients recruited to 2 groups: exercise group (n = 49) and control group (n = 49). The primary outcomes were depression and HRQOL; the secondary outcomes were activity of daily living, motor ability, fatigue, sleep quality and anxiety. Data collection at baseline, week 4 and 8 after intervention. Intervention were Multimodal Exercise Program, at least three times (30 - 50 minutes per section) a week or 10-15 minutes per section every day to accumulate 150 minutes a week for 8 weeks.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
No Intervention: control group
Control group maintained their regular lifestyle and received the routine care
Experimental: exercise group
Participants in the exercise group (EG) were instructed to engage performed exercise at least 3 times per week (30-50 minutes) or 10-15 minutes per section every day to accumulate 150 minutes per week for 8 weeks using disc (DVD) at home. Main exercise was moderate intensity aerobic exercise, an intensity of 55-70% of the heart rate reserve (HR max).
Other: exercise group

A step aerobics exercise lasted a total 30 minutes, including:

  1. a warm-up with 10 minutes of stretching exercises.
  2. A step aerobics exercise (step aerobics for 30 minutes; step by step, step exercise, or stepping the ground repetitively)23,24 a total of 30 minutes then cool down (5 minutes).
  3. Resistance training (10 minutes), stretching and relaxation for 10-15 minutes.

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
Time Frame
GDS-15
Time Frame: 3 minutes
consisting of 15 questions, was the primary outcome evaluator (Sheikh and Yesavage, 1986). Scores of 0-4 are considered to be normal; 5-8 indicates mild depression; 9-11 indicates moderate depression; and 12-15 indicates severe depression.
3 minutes
PDQ-8
Time Frame: 3 minutes
A sub-set of items is then selected from the PDQ-39 to create a shorter form version, the PDQ-8 (Jenkinson, Fitzpatrick & Peto, 1997). The sum of the scores can provide a single figure used to assess the overall health-related quality of life profile of the individual questioned. . Scores for each dimension range from 0 to 100, PDQ-8SI scores can be standardized on a scale from 0 to 100, with lower scores indicating better HRQoL.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
UPDRS part II (ADL)
Time Frame: 5 minutes
The unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (UPDRS) is used to follow the longitudinal course of Parkinson's disease (Fahn & Elton, 1987). The UPD rating scale is the most commonly used scale in the clinical study of Parkinson's disease. A total of 199 points are possible (199 represents the worst disability and 0 no disability). Part II: self-evaluation of the activities of daily life (ADLs). The scales part 2: motor experiences of daily living (13 items), each subscale now has 0-4 ratings, where 0 = normal, 1 = slight, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, and 4 = severe.
5 minutes
UPDRS part III (motor ability)
Time Frame: 10 minutes
The unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (UPDRS) is used to follow the longitudinal course of Parkinson's disease (Fahn & Elton, 1987). The UPD rating scale is the most commonly used scale in the clinical study of Parkinson's disease. Its 42 items are evaluated by interview and clinical observation. The motor section in particular to follow the progression of a person's Parkinson's disease. A total of 199 points are possible (199 represents the worst disability and 0 no disability). The scales part 3: motor examination (18 items), each subscale now has 0-4 ratings, where 0 = normal, 1 = slight, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, and 4 = severe.
10 minutes
Fatigue (FSS)
Time Frame: 5 minutes
The Fatigue Severity Scale is a 9-item scale which measures the severity of fatigue (Krupp, LaRocca, Muir-Nash, & Steinberg, 1989). The subject is asked to read each statement and circle a number from 1 to 7, the items are scored on a 7 point scale with 1=strongly disagree and 7=strongly agree. The minimum score=9 and maximum score possible=63. Higher the score=greater fatigue severity.
5 minutes
Sleep quality (PSQI)
Time Frame: 5 minutes
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is an effective instrument used to measure the quality and patterns of sleep in adults (Buysse, Reynolds, Monk, Berman, & Kupfer, 1989). It differentiates "poor" from "good" sleep quality by measuring seven areas (components): subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medications, and daytime dysfunction over the last month. A total score of "5" or greater is indicative of poor sleep quality.
5 minutes
Anxiety (HAS)
Time Frame: 3 minutes
The Hospital Anxiety Scale (HAS), a self-assessment scale, was developed to detect states of, anxiety and emotional distress, used to screen for the presence of anxiety, in a general medical population of patients (Zigmond & Snaith, 1983). Each item on the questionnaire is scored from 0-3 and this means that a person can score between 0 and 21 for either anxiety. For both scales, scores of less than 7 indicate normal, 8-10 indicate mild anxiety, 11-14 indicate moderate anxiety and 15-21 severe anxiety.
