Telerehabilitation for Dysautonomia in Parkinson's Disease

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

People diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease (PD) exhibit a combination of motor and non-motor symptoms, with the latter posing challenges in terms of identification and management. These non-motor symptoms tend to manifest before the motor symptoms and progressively worsen over time, significantly impacting the symptoms and everyday life activities of those affected. However, there remains a noticeable lack of scientific literature addressing the assessment and rehabilitation of cardiovascular dysautonomia in PD patients. Thus, our research aims to address this gap by pursuing the following objectives: 1) assess the feasibility, acceptability, and potential effectiveness of a hybrid telerehabilitation program designed to target cardiovascular health in individuals with Parkinson's disease; and 2) characterize cardiovascular dysautonomia using non-invasive measurements of cardiovascular and autonomic nervous system (ANS) function and self-reported symptom assessments.

Clinical Trial Description

This pilot clinical trial employs mixed methods and aims to recruit 16 participants meeting the criteria of stage 1 to 3 Parkinson's disease according to the Hoehn and Yahr scale, aged 50 or above, under optimized drug therapy, having home internet access, and without exercise contraindications, but exhibiting cardiovascular dysautonomia based on positive clinical results from active orthostatic hypotension maneuver, with or without reported symptoms and/or SCOPA-AUT questionnaire score ≥ 2/3 items. The 12-week telerehabilitation program comprises three weekly sessions, encompassing different exercise modalities to improve walk capacity (aerobic, strength, balance, coordination, flexibility) and education on symptom management. A progressive increase in autonomy is implemented, starting with synchronous/asynchronous sessions of 3/0 in week 1 to 0/3 in week 12. Feasibility (recruitment, adherence, retention), acceptability (questionnaire, semi-structured interviews), and potential effectiveness on motor (walking, mobility, balance) and non-motor aspects (pain and cardiovascular dysautonomia) will be measured before and after the intervention. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
