Clinical Trial Summary

α-Synucleinopathy is a cluster of neurodegenerative disease with motor and non-motor symptom. However, there is still a lack of research on the treatment for non-motor symptoms of α-synucleinopathy, especially autonomic dysfunctions such as orthostatic hypotension. Efficacy and safety of astragalus for non-motor symptoms of α-synucleinopathy will be assessed by an open-label self-controlled before-and-after study.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change from baseline mean arterial pressure after 3 minutes of upright posture versus decubitus position (mmHg) at 3 months. Mean arterial pressure was calculated as ? pulse pressure + diastolic pressure. Baseline vs 3 months after treatment.
Secondary OH Questionnaire score ?HR/?SBP means heart rate (HR) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) from baseline OH Questionnaire score Baseline vs 3 months after treatment.
Secondary Change from baseline Rate of change in ?HR/?SBP at 3months. ?HR/?SBP means heart rate (HR) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) from baseline lying position to standing for 3 minutes Baseline vs 3 months after treatment.
Secondary Change from baseline HRV (ms) at 3months. Heart rate variability (HRV) was calculated as the maximum bpm - minimum bpm. Baseline vs 3 months after treatment.
Secondary Change from baseline decumbent and orthostatic digit span (DDS) difference at 3months. DDS is an executive function measurement tool Baseline vs 3 months after treatment.
Secondary Change from baseline decumbent and orthostatic character conversion (CDS) difference at 3months. CDS is an executive function measurement tool Baseline vs 3 months after treatment.
Secondary Change from baseline MoCA scores at 3 months. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) Baseline vs 3 months after treatment.
Secondary Change from baseline CDR scores at 3 months. The Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) Baseline vs 3 months after treatment.
Secondary Change from baseline RAVLT scores at 3 months. The Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) Baseline vs 3 months after treatment.
Secondary Change from baseline HAS scores at 3 months. The Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAS) Baseline vs 3 months after treatment.
Secondary Change from baseline HDS scores at 3 months. The Hamilton Depression Scale (HDS) Baseline vs 3 months after treatment.
Secondary Change from baseline NPI scores at 3 months. The Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) Baseline vs 3 months after treatment.
Secondary Change from the baseline plasma a-synuclein levels (ng/ml) at 3 months. Baseline vs 3 months after treatment.
Secondary Change from baseline Vic at 3 months. The intra-cellular compartment (Vic) of the Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging (NODDI) model represents diffusion within the axons and cells. Baseline vs 3 months after treatment.
Secondary Change from baseline ODI at 3 months. NODDI models the dispersion of axonal fibers with the use of an Orientation Dispersion Index (ODI). Baseline vs 3 months after treatment.
Secondary Change from baseline PAF (Hz) at 3 months. The alpha-peak frequency (PAF) is the frequency with the highest power within the alpha-band. Baseline vs 3 months after treatment.
