Portland, OregonAges 55–85 - NCT05700825RecruitingPhase 2
Rehab training to improve swallow safety in Parkinson’s
This trial tests a rehabilitation approach aimed at improving airway protection during swallowing in people with Parkinson’s disease. It may help reduce the risk of food or liquid going down the wrong way by improving swallow safety.
West Lafayette, IndianaAges 50–90 - NCT05741151Recruiting
Testing a nerve target in Parkinson’s disease
This trial is studying the “superior cervical ganglion” as a possible treatment approach for Parkinson’s disease. It may help people whose symptoms are truly caused by Parkinson’s, not by another condition.
RomeAges 30–80 - NCT05765110Recruiting
Tracking speech, movement, and thinking in Parkinson’s disease
This study looks at how people with Parkinson’s disease speak, move, and think to see whether these patterns can act like a “biomarker” (a measurable sign) of the disease. It also involves healthy volunteers to compare results.
PragueAges 30–75 - NCT05800470Recruiting
Brain-training with light sensors to improve walking in Parkinson’s
This trial tests a “neurofeedback” training program using a special light-sensing cap (fNIRS) to help improve balance and walking in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may also do guided walking practice mentally (imagery training), and your ability to walk and balance will be measured.
Taipei, None SelectedAges 40–85 - NCT05854524Recruiting
Exercise program to protect the brain in Parkinson’s disease
This trial studies whether doing regular moderate aerobic exercise can help protect the brain in people with Parkinson’s disease. It also includes people without Parkinson’s to compare exercise effects, using fitness and safety screening to keep everyone safe.
Las Vegas, NevadaAges 30–85 - NCT05960331Recruiting
Study how choice affects learning movement in Parkinson’s
This study looks at whether having more control or “autonomy” helps you learn new movement tasks. It may help researchers find ways to improve physical therapy training for people with Parkinson’s.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05982730Recruiting
Segway training for balance and thinking in Parkinson's
This study tests whether practicing balance on a Segway can improve walking and thinking for people with moderate Parkinson's. You will train on a Segway while getting special sensory cues, and researchers will see if it helps your motor skills and cognitive function.
Dallas, TexasAges 50–85 - NCT05986643Recruiting
Brain training game to improve balance in Parkinson's
