Official study title

Randomized multicenter trial for investigating effect of neurofeedback with gait imagery training on Parkinson's disease patients

Short title used by the registry

Neurofeedback with Gait imagery for PD

Original description

Intervention: In This study, participants asked to perform motor imagery training with neurofeedback, which provided as visual indicator based on the brain activities measured by the near-infrared spectroscopy mediated neurofeedback system (NIRS-NFB). this intervention consist of 4 training session per week for 4 weeks. Participants would perform motor imagery training after waring this NIRS-NFB system attached to their head. In each session, participants asked to perform two different task sets, consist of rising-up from the chair task and walking along task. Each task is consisted of several 5 seconds imagery periods and pseudo-randomized 8-16 seconds rest periods. They are asked to perform motor imagery task only during the imagery periods, and stay calm during rest periods. Each intervention session contains less than 30 minurtes of imagery training and lasts within 40 minutes;D058765;Neurofeedback , motor imagery Primary outcome: 10m walk test Secondary outcome: 10m walk test, MDS-UPDRS, Mini-BESTest, 3m-Timued Up and Go test, FOGQ, PDQ8, number of falls, any adverse effect
