Pain in Parkinson's Disease: Exploration of the Serotonin System in Positron Emission Tomography (PET [18F]-MPPF)

Sponsor: University Hospital, Toulouse

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This project will explore the involvement of the serotonin system in the pathophysiology of PD-related central pain. Thus, the serotonin system will be evaluated in PD patients with and without central pain who will benefit from brain positron emission tomography (PET) allowing in vivo imaging of 5HT1A receptors and multimodal brain MRI including morphometric imaging and functional connectivity (resting state acquisition).

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Clinical assessment

The clinical assessment consists on behavioural and motor evaluations to determine the characteristics of the population

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Pain characteristics assessment

The pain characteristics assessment will be made with a variety of scales and questionnaires which allow to identify the extent of central pain and functional impairment

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

MRI

The MRI examination allows anatomical imaging, diffusion imaging and functional imaging to measure specific markers

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Thermotest

The thermotest is performed to assess the pain perception threshold

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

UPDRS-III Scale

The UPDRS-III scale allows to asses motor functionality of PD patients

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

[18F]-MPPF PET scan

The PET scan after injection of \[18F\]-MPPF at a dose of 200 Megabecquerel/kg +/-10% allows in vivo imaging of 5HT1A receptors
