Study Summary

This trial will test a device to help people with Parkinson's improve their motor & cognitive functions. Possible benefits will be tested in a future study.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with Parkinson's Disease who can follow the study rules. It's not for those with other serious health issues, psychiatric conditions, or a big drop in blood pressure when standing. The researchers will also exclude anyone they think might be at risk or unable to handle the research tasks.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing a new Multifunctional Rehabilitation Device (MRD) against standard rehab devices through three parts: tests in a lab setting both once and multiple times, and use at home. Participants may keep the device after the trial to provide feedback on its long-term use.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed, participants could experience discomfort using the MRD based on their feedback during an optional open label extension where they can report their user experience.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: In-lab and in home feasibility testing of research device in people with Parkinson's disease (PwP)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Multifunctional rehabilitation device for PwP for human user acceptance testing for 2 lab sessions (aim 1) and 5 lab sessions (aim 2). This arm will use the experimental device in home feasibility testing (aim 3). This arm will be asked to participate in the open label extension.
Group II: In-home feasibility testing (no device in at home portion)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Multifunctional rehabilitation device for PwP for human user acceptance testing for 2 lab sessions (aim 1) and 5 lab sessions (aim 2). For the at home portion, this arm will not use any device but have the same outcomes measured. (aim 3)
Group III: In-home feasibility testing (alternate device)Active Control2 Interventions
Multifunctional rehabilitation device for PwP for human user acceptance testing for 2 lab sessions (aim 1) and 5 lab sessions (aim 2). This arm will use another device to compare to the experimental device for in home feasibility of using the device at home (aim 3). This arm will be asked to participate in the open label extension.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are there any spots available for enrollment in this experiment?

"Affirmative - According to clinicaltrials.gov, this medical study which was initially posted on October 13th 2022 is actively enrolling participants. The trial needs 18 patients from a single site to reach completion."

Answered by AI

What goals is this trial attempting to accomplish?

"This 14 week long trial seeks to quantify the Mean of Kinematic Variable from APDM Joint Sensors, whilst also assessing the Proportion of Participants with Decrease in Pain on the Modified Numeric Stance Discomfort Rating Scale (whereby ratings 0-10 denote no discomfort through to severe pain), evaluating alertness using Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores and determining performance during a Computerized Reaction Stick Test which gauges reaction time differences pre/post intervention."

Answered by AI

How many participants has this research enrolled thus far?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov displays that, as of October 13th 2022, this clinical trial is actively soliciting volunteers with the aim of recruiting 18 subjects from one medical facility."
