Developing Personalized Medicine Strategies to Increase Physical Activity in Parkinson's Disease (PD) Through Digital Health Technology
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 29 Jul 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Under a grant from the Department of Defense's PD program, Dr. Morley's is investigating new approaches that 1) use "gamification"- applying rules of games like point scoring, achieving silver, gold or platinum levels and competition-- to increase physical activity in PD; 2) identify whether certain PD patient respond differently to gamification interventions than others.; 3) use readily and commercially available (including Fitbits) digital health technologies to perform all study activities remotely and enable a "touchless" study where patients don't have to come in person for any studies visits. The study is underway and actively recruiting.

What you commit to
- Study type: Observational
- Participants enrolled: 88
- From 3 Dec 2021 to the primary completion date, 1 Jul 2024
- 1 site in 1 country
- Visits and tests: ask the trial team, the registry does not list them
Built from the registry fields of ClinicalTrials.gov. It describes the study, not your situation.
Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Diagnosis of an atypical parkinsonian syndrome or concomitant administration of a drug that could cause parkinsonian syndromes.
Other illness
- PD Hoehn/Yahr stage \>2.5 indicating significant balance or functional impairment that would preclude participation in an intervention to increase physical activity
- Clinical diagnosis of dementia
- Active impulse control disorder
Other
- Cardiovascular or other medical comorbidities that preclude participation in an intervention to increase physical activity
- Lack of access to a smartphone or other device (tablet or networked computer) that can be used to interface with the Fitbit app and Way to Health platform
Who the study is looking for
- Have a clinical diagnosis of PD.
- Are on a stable regimen of anti-parkinsonian medication that have not changed since the prior visit.
- Have not fallen more than once within the past year.
- To the greatest extent possible, seek to include and study Veterans with deployment, environmental, or occupational exposures as risk factors for Parkinson's disease. These will include neurotoxins (Agent Orange, Camp Lejune groundwater, Southwest Asia burn pits) and Traumatic Brain Injury, as these exposures are commonly encountered in our Veteran population and are of significant interest as risk factors for PD.
