Jacksonville, FloridaAges 40–80 - NCT04229056Recruiting
Computer training to improve thinking and planning after stroke or Parkinson’s
This trial tests computer-based “self-training” to improve executive function, such as working memory—your ability to hold and use information in mind. It’s for adults with a prior stroke, cardiac arrest, or Parkinson’s disease who have trouble on a specific working-memory task.
CopenhagenAges 18–100 - NCT04246437RecruitingPhase 1
Brain imaging study for autonomic failure with possible Parkinson disease
This Phase 1 study uses a special injected imaging tracer and an MRI scan to look at brain function in people with autonomic failure. It may help researchers understand what’s happening in conditions that can be related to Parkinson disease, multiple system atrophy, or dementia with Lewy bodies.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT04286308Recruiting
Testing brain-speech recordings during DBS for movement disorders
This study looks at how brain and speech networks work while people with Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, or dystonia are getting deep brain stimulation (DBS). It may help doctors better understand and possibly improve speech outcomes for people receiving DBS.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT04492345Recruiting
Back muscle training for posture problems in Parkinson’s
This trial tests a special way to strengthen the back muscles to improve posture problems in people with Parkinson’s (or similar conditions). It may help reduce postural deformities and improve movement comfort while your Parkinson’s treatment stays steady.
Le LamentinAges 18–85 - NCT04607174Recruiting
Test knee muscle activation in people with nerve or movement disorders
This study checks how well your knee muscles “turn on” during guided, controlled knee movements. It may help researchers understand movement problems and improve testing or therapies for neuromotor (nerve/movement) disorders.
Milan, MIAges 18–70 - NCT04635436Recruiting
Split-walking training for one-sided leg weakness when walking hurts
This trial tests whether a “split gait” walking training method can improve walking balance and how you move when you have one-sided leg problems and pain or limitations when walking. It may help reduce walking difficulties by training your stepping pattern safely.
Milan, MIAges 18–70 - NCT04681534Recruiting
Testing safer adaptive deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s
This trial studies an “adaptive” form of deep brain stimulation (DBS) that adjusts based on brain signals, and is mainly done when the DBS battery (IPG) needs replacement or when people are getting DBS for the first time. It aims to improve safety and effectiveness for Parkinson’s symptoms by using recorded brain activity during treatment.
MilanAges Any age - NCT04796506Recruiting
Tracking sleep changes to improve thinking in Parkinson’s
This study looks at whether changes in “slow wave sleep” (a deep sleep stage) match improvements in thinking for people with Parkinson’s. It uses an exercise/recovery-focused approach and checks sleep and thinking scores to see if these changes go together.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 45–100 - NCT04876339Recruiting
Sound-based training to improve walking after brain illness
This study tests whether using special sounds (sonification) during gait training can improve walking for people with stroke, Parkinson’s disease, or multiple sclerosis. It may help your walking speed, stamina (fatigue), and overall walking pattern.
PaviaAges Up to 80 years - NCT04957095Recruiting
Testing brain wiring signals during planned deep brain stimulation
This study looks at how brain networks work during a procedure used to treat movement symptoms in Parkinson’s disease. It may help researchers better understand the brain signals involved, which could improve future deep brain stimulation planning.
