AI summary: who the study is looking for
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for people aged 50 to 75 with Parkinsonism, including Parkinson's disease, and healthy volunteers with no neurological history.
- Age
- 50 to 75 years
- Sex
- All sexes can join.
- Disease stage
- Parkinsonism, including idiopathic Parkinson's disease or a related syndrome, with motor symptoms for 6 years or less.
- Earlier treatment
- If this applies, you must be able to safely leave home in the morning without having taken antiparkinsonian medication for the past 12 hours.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Major neurocognitive disorders
- Other neurological conditions, such as stroke, paralysis of a limb, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, orofacial dystonia or essential tremor
- History of oromandibular or laryngeal procedures
- Uncorrected deafness
- Any contraindication to pupillary dilation

- Original description
The working hypotheses are as follows: #1 The processing of performance signals by automated lognormal segmentation and the extraction of the parameters of interest will make it possible to distinguish groups of patients from healthy elderly subjects. #2 The three instrumental approaches will not have the same degree of reliability as a predictive biomarker of clinical diagnosis established by consensus.Read full original descriptionShow less
Contribution of the Kinematic Theory in the Early Differential Diagnosis of the Parkinson's Disease
The working hypotheses are as follows: #1 The processing of performance signals by automated lognormal segmentation and the extraction of the parameters of interest will make it possible to distinguish groups of patients from healthy elderly subjects. #2 The three instrumental approaches will not have the same degree of reliability as a predictive biomarker of clinical diagnosis established by consensus.
Inclusion: Being diagnosed with Parkinsonism including idiopathic Parkinson's disease or a related syndrome; Have motor symptoms of Parkinsonism for 6 years or less; Be a healthy volunteer subject in good general health with no prior neurological history; Age between 50-75 years old; If applicable, be able to safely leave home in the morning without having taken antiparkinsonian medication for the past 12 hours.
Exclusion: Major neurocognitive disorders; History of other neurological conditions, such as ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, paralysis of a limb, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, orofacial dystonia, essential tremor; History of oromandibular or laryngeal procedures; Uncorrected deafness; Any contraindication to pupillary dilation.
