Experimentation of a Personalized Physical Self-education Program at Home: Feasibility Study (PROSOL TELEKINECT)

TELEKINECT
Start date: February 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

ALCOTRA (Alpes Latines COoperation TRAnsfrontalière) is one of the European cross-border cooperation programmes covering France and Italy and financed by the ERDF (European Regional Development Fund). It includes the thematic plan (PITEM), called "PROSOL" (PROximity and SOLidarity), set up in the PIEDMONT region (Italy). The PITEM PROSOL strategy aims to develop new social and health services for vulnerable populations in the rural areas and cross-border Franco-Italian mountains of the South regions (Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur, Liguria, Piedmont and Aosta valley). As part of the PITEM PROSOL project, a PROSOL telemedicine platform has been developped for the management of isolated patients from the territory of the Latin Alpes and suffering from neurological diseases (neurodevelopmental disorders, neuromuscular diseases and neurodegenerative diseases). These patients are divided into 3 experimental groups: WOMEN (project 5106), SENIORS (project 4128) and YOUTH (project 5162). A PROSOL e-learning platform (https://www.prosol-elearning.com/) has also been developped for these patients, their caregivers and community physicians to improve knowledge and management of these diseases. Experimentation of these platforms by several participants (and their caregivers) has highlighted the need, often discontent, of a personalized management of physiotherapy for patients with neuromuscular diseases (MNM) and neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's disease). As physical activity has a beneficial and protective effect of these diseases, and inactivity is one of the important risk factors in worsening symptoms contributing to the loss of patients' motor and cognitive functional abilities, a program of self-physical rehabilitation has been designed by neurologists and physiotherapists of expert centers for a personalized and adapted treatment for each patient. The PROSOL TELEKINECT project offers a physical rehabilitation program to be carried out autonomously at home, with coaching by physiotherapists via the telemedicine platform, as well as close monitoring of exercise response regarding the level of pain and fatigue of patients, thus ensuring their maximum safety. The objective of the PROSOL TELEKINECT project is to evaluate the value of an appropriate physical rehabilitation programme for each type of patient. The feasibility and beneficial effects of this program will be assessed using conventional assessments of motor function and patient quality of life, but also using a connected watch coupled with artificial intelligence algorithms to collect and analyze physiological data remotely in real time in the patients' natural environment. The results of this pilot study will be used to lay the foundation for a larger clinical study to test a new digital strategy for self-treatment rehabilitation, aimed at reducing unequal access to care for patients with neuromuscular and neurodegenerative diseases, and residents of transboundary territories, thus offering the establishment of a preventive and supportive approach to these diseases.

Contribution of the Therapies of Resolution of Problem in the Care of the Natural Caregivers of Patients Affected by Neurodegenerative Disease Living at Home

TRAMPD
Start date: July 5, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The coverage of the caregivers of patients reached of neurodegenerative disease becomes essential. The psychic, physical but also social impacts for the caregivers are widely documented in the literature just like the stress associated with this role, we speak then about "burden of the caregivers". It seems that the caregivers set up little effective strategies of adaptation pulling fatal consequences on their well-being. He was shown in the literature, that a level of high stress is going to engender a decrease of mental flexibility and so entrainer a rigidity of adaptation. To decrease the burden of the caregivers, numerous interventions were proposed. The analysis of the literature highlights that these interventions are rarely developed from theoretical models pulling(entailing) a stream of techniques proposed to the caregivers but without precise objective. The most effective interventions concerning the coverage(care) of the burden of the caregivers are the ones which are targeted and structured, those who put the helper in active position and who have an effect on the subjective burden. The cognitive-behavioral therapy (TCC) would seem particularly effective. So, to modify the perception (collection) of the caregivers in front of cognitive, behavioral, functional modifications of their close friend(relation), to bring them to estimate positively their role and to favor the employment(use) of adaptive strategies turns out to be a privileged target of intervention to be used(employed) to improve the well-being of the caregivers and so decrease their burden. Considering this, an intervention based on the techniques of resolution of problems (TRP) could show itself very relevant as specific coverage (care). The works concerning the contribution of the TRP and the adaptation generally concerning situations of health showed that this type(chap) of intervention facilitated an adapted situational coping, but also increased generally the social, academic and professional performances. Various searches(researches) also showed that the resolution of problem is associated with indicators of adaptation at patients' nursing reached(affected) by Alzheimer's disease. So we propose to the family caregivers a coverage(care) based on the therapy of resolution of problems taking support on the model of Lazarus's stress and Folkman and according to the model stemming from works of D' Zurilla and Nezu. We make the hypothesis that this intervention is going to allow a decrease of the burden by allowing the caregivers to find a capacity to modulate their strategies to fit at best the evolutions of the clinical situation. The main objective of our study is to compare the efficiency of a coverage(care) based on the Therapy of Resolution of Problems to a group of word and to that proposed at the moment within the pole of gerontology in the decrease of the burden of the caregivers of patients reached(affected) by neurodegenerative disease in 12 months. Our secondary objectives will concern the evolution of the burden in 6 months and the evolution of the strategies of coping, the anxious, depressive symptomatology, the quality of life, the mental flexibility in 6 and 12 months. According to the data of the current literature, we expect a decrease of the psychological distress, an increase of the good(property) to be psychological. More specifically, by proposing an intervention targeted in particular at the management of the stress, the helper is going to acquire fitnesses which will have a long-lasting(sustainable) therapeutic effect. By associating techniques of psychoeducation with techniques of management of the stress we hope we can propose a type(chap) of intervention suited to the natural caregivers to favor the preservation at home.

NCT ID: NCT02086240 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Neurodegenerative Disorders

Reproducibility of the 11C-PBR28 PET Signal

Start date: March 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The Translocator Protein (TSPO) is a protein which reaches very high levels when there is inflammation in the brain. Recently, radioligands have been developed which attach to the TSPO (a radioligand is a drug which has been tagged with radioactivity). Using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, the radioligand can be detected following injection into a patient. However, it is difficult to accurately measure the amount of TSPO using PET at the moment. This is because the brain does not have a "reference region" for TSPO (ie an area in the brain with no TSPO at all). "Reference regions" are very useful to help work out how much of a PET signal represents "specific binding" (of the radioligand to the target of interest), and how much represents "non specific binding" (of the radioligand to many other structures which are not of interest). In the absence of a reference region, non specific binding can be estimated by giving a drug which binds to the TSPO. The drug prevents the radioligand binding the TSPO and (in a manner of speaking) "creates" a temporary reference region so non specific binding can be measured. To do this, we will use XBD173 (Emapunil is an anxiolytic drug which acts as a selective agonist at the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor) to bind TSPO and block binding of the PET ligand ([11C]PBR28), a TSPO ligand from the phenoxyarlyacetamide class. Most TSPO PET studies (and in one of our previous studies approved by West London REC) quantify the signal using a ratio of specific binding in the brain to radioactivity in the blood. This requires arterial line insertion which is burdensome for subjects, and increases variability. In this study we aim to determine the ratio of specific binding in the brain to nonspecific binding in the brain by using the temporary reference region. For more accuracy the participants will repeat the scanning procedure so determine test-retest variability of the amount of TSPO.

NCT ID: NCT01954875 Withdrawn - Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Trials

Establishment of a Human Tissue Bank for Studying the Microbial Etiology of Neurodegenerative Diseases

Start date: December 2, 2009
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The etiology of many neurodegenerative diseases is unknown. A few studies have suggested the role of infection in the gastrointestinal tract in the etiology and pathogenesis of neurological diseases such as idiopathic Parkinson. For example, infection with Helicobacter pylori has been suggested to play a role in Parkinson disease. In addition, bacterial pathogens such as spirochetes and bacterial products such as cyanobacterial toxins have been speculated as the contributing factors in the development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The effect of microbial composition of the gut in the pathogenesis of ALS is suspected. The difference in the bacterial profile of the gut has been documented in diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease and obesity. The goal of this IRB protocol is to create a human tissue bank and to obtain patients' demographic information for future investigation of the role of bacterial pathogens and the role of gut flora composition in the development of neurodegenerative diseases including but not limited to ALS, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis.
