REFINE-PD
Brief Summary:
The REFINE-PD study is a controlled trial embedded within a larger cluster controlled study the IMPACT study The study aims to investigate the efficacy of a multifactorial falls prevention program for patients with Parkinsons Disease PD This program contains PD-specific elements eg optimizing dopaminergic therapy plus a generic falls prevention program The intervention will be tailored to each individuals specific risk profile for falls as identified during detailed baseline examination
Detailed Description:
Falls and postural instability are common complications of advanced Parkinsons Disease PD Falls in PD often have devastating consequences leading to a poor overall prognosis In addition falls in PD are associated with substantial medical expenses due to treatment of injuries and nursing home admission The risk of falls in older PD patients is aggravated by generic age-related factors such as sedative medication or poor vision Observations on elderly persons without PD suggest that a multifactorial prevention program might be more effective We propose to investigate the effectiveness of a multifactorial prevention program aimed at the prevention of falls in PD which is based on disease-specific treatment strategies with demonstrated efficacy in PD as well as prevention strategies with proven effectiveness for the general elderly population
In this study an individualised multifactorial program aimed at the prevention of falls in PD containing PD-specific elements and a generic falls prevention program will be compared to usual care
