Patients With Parkinson's Disease

Brief summary

This is a multi-center, randomized, open-label, multi-center, randomized controlled study of 80 Parkinson's disease patients with gait and balance disorders in which 40 patients will be treated with serious games, in addition to their usual care, for 12 months and 40 patients will be treated with their usual care during this period. This study will be conducted in 4 centers, all of which are expert in the management of these patients. After randomization, each patient in the "Intervention-Rehabilitation through Toap Run" group will have to complete 2 to 3 sessions per week at home with the serious game "TOAP RUN" using the Kinect® system for 1 year.

Detailed description

This is a multi-center, randomized, open-label, multi-center, randomized controlled study of 80 Parkinson's disease patients with gait and balance disorders in which 40 patients will be treated with serious games, in addition to their usual care, for 12 months and 40 patients will be treated with their usual care during this period. This study will be conducted in 4 centers, all of which are expert in the management of these patients. After randomization, each patient in the "Intervention-Rehabilitation through Toap Run" group will have to complete 2 to 3 sessions per week at home with the serious game "TOAP RUN" using the Kinect® system for 1 year. The primary endpoint is a medical-economic endpoint: the difference in incremental cost-utility ratio at 12 months between the 2 groups of patients. Costs will be assessed at inclusion, at the end of 6 and 12 months. Secondary endpoints include clinical and neurophysiological assessments, focusing on gait and balance disorders, as well as cognition and emotional state. An imaging study for patients included in the Paris-ICM center is also planned to study the effects of serious game rehabilitation on brain function. Patients in both groups will be free to use SG at the end of the intervention.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The incremental cost-utility ratio at 12 months for the management of patients with Parkinson's disease using therapeutic gamesat 12 months for the management of patients with Parkinson's disease using therapeutic gamesThe result criterion is the additional cost in euros of a QALY gained. The QALY will be calculated from the utilities derived from the EuroQuality scale of life-5 dimensions EQ5D-3L.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The frequency of fallsThrough study completion, an average of 24 monthsThe frequency of falls will be measured using item 12 of the Freezing of gait questionnaire (FOG-Q), with falls being absent (score=0), very rare (about 1/year, score=1), rare (about 1/ month, score=2), frequent (about 1/week, score=3) or very frequent (every day or several falls per day, score=4).
The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of Toap Run therapeutic gambling management compared to usual management.Through study completion, an average of 24 monthsThe outcome criterion will be measured by the number of days of hospitalization at 12 and 24 months.
Cost-effectiveness ratio of falls preventionThrough study completion, an average of 24 monthsFor the cost-effectiveness ratio of falls prevention, the clinical outcome criterion will be measured by the number of falls at 12 and 24 months.
Criterion for the cost-utility ratioThrough study completion, an average of 24 monthsThe criterion for the cost-utility ratio at 24 months will be the QALY calculated from the utilities derived from the EuroQuality scale of life-5 dimensions EQ5D-3L.
The budgetary impact of Toap RunThrough study completion, an average of 24 monthsThe budgetary impact of Toap Run in the management of Parkinson's patients will be measured by the resources directly consumed using the SNIIRAM/SNDS database (order of March 22, 2017 of the Public Health Code).
Incidence of treatment on Patients' quality of lifeThrough study completion, an average of 24 monthsPatients' quality of life will be assessed using the PDQ-39 scale, which is specific to Parkinson's disease.
Incidence of treatment on Motor skillsThrough study completion, an average of 24 monthsMotor skills (walking and balance) will be assessed using clinically validated scales (UPDRS, Gait and Balance Scale, Freezing-of-gait questionnaire, Fear of falling)
Incidence of treatment on Neurological motor skillsThrough study completion, an average of 24 monthsNeurological motor skills will be assessed using a neurophysiological evaluation (VICON® System).
Overall functioningThrough study completion, an average of 24 monthsOverall functioning will be assessed by the Global Functioning Scale (GFS).
Evaluation of usability and feasibility of SGsThrough study completion, an average of 24 monthsThe usability and feasibility of SGs will be assessed through by patients' usability and feasability questionnaire.
Mood and anxietyThrough study completion, an average of 24 monthsMood and anxiety will be assessed with the Hospital Anxiety Depression scale (HAD).
Emotional stateThrough study completion, an average of 24 monthsEmotional state will be assessed with the Positive Affect Negative Affect Scale (PANAS).
The level of physical activityThrough study completion, an average of 24 monthsThe level of physical activity evaluated with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ).
Patient and caregiver satisfactionThrough study completion, an average of 24 monthsPatient and caregiver satisfaction will be assessed through a satisfaction survey.
Physician user satisfactionThrough study completion, an average of 24 monthsPhysician user satisfaction will be assessed through a satisfaction survey.
