Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of Magnetic Fields for Treatment of Parkinson's Disease (NCT NCT00779155)

NCT ID: NCT00779155

Last Updated: 2011-07-12

Results Overview

The UPDRS is used to measure different aspects of Parkinson's Disease (PD). The UPDRS subscale II assesses how PD affects a person's daily life, with scores ranging from 0-52, with 52 representing greatest severity. The UPDRS subscale III assesses how PD affects how a person moves about, with scores ranging from 0-108, with 108 representing greatest severity. The combination of these 2 scores is used in clinical trials and in clinical practice to get a good overall idea of how PD affects a person's life. Combined score ranges from 0-160, with 160 being greatest severity.

Timeframe: Baseline and 8 weeks

Population: Analysis was by intention to treat and all enrolled subjects completed the entire protocol.
