- Registration Number
- NCT06260228
- Lead Sponsor
- Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center
- Brief Summary
The goal of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of adapting and delivering the existing home-based epilepsy self-management intervention, HOBSCOTCH, for people with Parkinson's Disease (PD)
The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Can the current HOBSCOTCH program be adapted for people with PD?
2. Will people with PD experience improved quality of life similar to that found in people with epilepsy after participating in the HOBSCOTCH program?
Participants will be asked to:
* attend nine, one-hour virtual (online and/or by telephone) HOBSCOTCH-PD sessions with a one-on-one certified HOBSCOTCH-PD coach
* complete a brief clinical questionnaire about their diagnosis of PD
* complete two questionnaires before and after the HOBSCOTCH-PD sessions about their quality of life and about memory and thinking processes
* keep a short daily diary about their PD symptoms and use of the self-management strategies taught in the HOBSCOTCH-PD program
* complete a brief Satisfaction Survey after the entire HOBSCOTCH-PD program

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in quality of life as measured by comparing PDQ-39 (Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire) scores pre- and post-HOBSCOTCH-PD intervention. Baseline (pre-HOBSCOTCH-PD) and post-HOBSCOTCH-PD, approximately 9 weeks later. The Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) is a 39-item validated, patient reported measure of quality of life. The questionnaire assesses how often people with PD experience difficulties across 8 dimensions of daily living including relationships, social situations and communication as well as the impact of Parkinson's on specific dimensions of functioning and wellbeing. The dimension scores are coded on a scale of 0 (perfect health as assessed by the measure) to 100 (worst health as assessed by the measure).
Change in subjective cognition as measured by comparing Neuro-QOL Item Bank v2.0 Cognitive Function scores pre- and post-HOBSCOTCH-PD intervention. Baseline (pre-HOBSCOTCH-PD) and post-HOBSCOTCH-PD, approximately 9 weeks later. The Cognitive Function sub-scale of the Neuro-QOL is a brief validated tool developed by the NIH for use in patients with neurological disease. Scores range from 8 to 40, with a higher score indicating better reported cognitive functioning.
