Monitoring Brain Waves in Response to Visual and/or Auditory Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease Patients

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 100 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Rambam Health Care Campus · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 99 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

Voltage fluctuation as a result of brain activity will be recorded into the computer using an EEG device.

Detailed description

Patients with Parkinson's disease may have gait disturbances including freezing of gait. Visual and auditory stimuli may improve gait. Investigators will analyze brain wave during walking while giving the subject different stimuli. The voltage fluctuation (in hundreds of microvolts) will be recorded using the EEG cap and amplifier into a computer.

Conditions

• Parkinson's Disease

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Baseline	Patients will walk naturally with EEG measuring brain waves
BEHAVIORAL	visual stimuli	Patients will walk naturally with EEG measuring brain waves while seeing a grid through glasses
BEHAVIORAL	Auditory stimuli	Patients will walk naturally with EEG measuring brain waves while hearing an auditory stimuli
BEHAVIORAL	Visual and auditory stimuli	Patients will walk naturally with EEG measuring brain waves while seeing a grid through glasses and hearing an auditory stimuli simultaneously
