Effect of Speech Therapy in Combination With Non-invasive Brain Stimulation on Speech of Patients With Parkinson's Disease
Home-based Non-invasive Brain Stimulation in Combination With Lee Silverman Voice Treatment on Hypokinetic Dysarthria in Parkinson's Disease
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
Study will investigate the long-term effects of repeated (20) sessions of home-based tDCS as an add-on to well-established remote LSVT (i.e. the gold standard procedure for HD treatment) as compared to LSVT alone (coupled with sham stimulation) in patients with PD in their "on" dopaminergic condition without dyskinesias.
A two parallel-group, double-blinded, randomized, sham-stimulation-controlled design will be used. Forty PD patients will be randomized into two parallel groups by independent researcher by a computer-generated random number list, 20 subjects in each arm. Participants in the real tDCS group and the sham tDCS group will undergo a baseline assessment (V0), a follow-up assessment after four weeks of combined tDCS and LSVT treatments (V1) and another follow-up assessment 8 weeks after the baseline assessment (V2). Each visit will consist of EEG, speech tasks recording and speech evaluation by a speech therapist; MR scanning will be done at V0 and V1. Both groups will undergo the same speech therapy (LSVT) via telepractice as the gold standard treatment for HD, in combination with real or sham tDCS.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: PD patients with real tDCS and speech therapy
Patients will receive real tDCS during 4 weeks, 5 sessions per week.
Altogether 20 sessions, each 20 minutes long.
Stimulation is combined with Lee-Silverman voice treatment, 4 sessions per week.
Altogether 16 sessions, each 1 hour long.

Home-based transcranial direct current stimulation- anode over right STG, cathode over left STG, 2 mA stimulation with 1x1 tDCS mini-CT device by Soterix Medical
Remote Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) delivered via telepractice by speech therapist.
LSVT is a high-effort speech therapy that is primarily focused on improving speech loudness during 16 individual one-hour sessions in one month.
|
Sham Comparator: PD patients with sham tDCS and speech therapy
Patients will receive sham tDCS during 4 weeks, 5 sessions per week.
Altogether 20 sessions, each 20 minutes long.
Stimulation is combined with Lee-Silverman voice treatment, 4 sessions per week.
Altogether 16 sessions, each 1 hour long.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Changes in score of the 3F Test (the unabbreviated title- "the 3F Test Dysarthric Profile")
Time Frame: At baseline assessment (Visit- V0), after completion of 4 weeks of intervention (stimulation+ speech therapy) (Visit V1) and 4 weeks after completion of intervention (Visit V2)
|
The 3F Test Dysarthric Profile enables clinicians to characterize a wide range of signs and symptoms of dysarthria.
The minimum value of this scale is 0 (anarthria), the maximum value is 90 (no disorder).
Higher scores of this scale mean better outcome.
This test will be administrated by speech pathologist.
|
At baseline assessment (Visit- V0), after completion of 4 weeks of intervention (stimulation+ speech therapy) (Visit V1) and 4 weeks after completion of intervention (Visit V2)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Resting state fMRI
Time Frame: At baseline assessment (Visit- V0), after completion of 4 weeks of intervention (stimulation+ speech therapy) (V1) and 4 weeks after completion of intervention (V2)
|
The effect of stimulation on the resting state networks will be studied using fMRI measurement.
