Assessment of Actigraphy Procedures on the Initiation of an Apomorphine Treatment Delivered Through a Pump to Patients With Parkinson's Disease
Assessment of Actigraphy Procedures on the Initiation of an Apomorphine Treatment Delivered Through a Pump to Patients With Parkinson's Disease
The goal of the study is to compare the impact of different actigraphy procedures on the healthcare organization of Parkinson's disease (PK) patients using an apomorphine pump. To do so, the study design includes a patients' randomisation in two groups that will be followed during 6 months.
The two groups are:
Referent group with one actimetric report at baseline Actimetry group with one actimetric report at baseline and during the follow-up. Using these reports the investigator will be able to modify the prescription of the apomorphin pump without seeing the patient.
It is planned to follow the patients during 6 months of follow-up and 3 medical visits will be conducted as per the standard practice:
1 visit before the installation of the pump
1 visit after the pump installation straight after the patient comes out the hospital
1 visit at 6 months
Inclusion Criteria:
Adult suffering from Parkinson's disease aged up to 75 years (included) Patient for whom a first set-up of an apomorphine pump has been decided under medical guidelines Patient who chose the OPTIPARK package (ORKYN nurses) Patient willing to wear the actigraphy bracelet as per the protocol Patient who read, understood and signed the consent form.
Exclusion Criteria:
Patient not willing to take part in the study Patient who had a previous set-up of an apomorphine pump Patient with dementia Dependant patients or patients living in institutional care Patient with a temporary pump of apomorphine compromising a six months follow-up Patient with non-major motor fluctuations Patient already enrolled in an interventional study.
