Sound-based training to improve walking after brain illness
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are under the age limit: stroke or Parkinson’s under 80; multiple sclerosis under 60
- Your thinking/memory test score is above 24 on the Mini-Mental State Exam
- Your condition affects walking and your walking problem is noticeable (gait parameters are impaired)
- Your disease has been stable for a required time window (for stroke/MS: not changing for at least 6 months)
- You can walk without braces/orthotics or walking aids, even though your walking pattern is abnormal
- Your leg stiffness from spasticity is not too high (Ashworth score must be under 2)

This study measures brain and nerve “biomarkers” to understand how Parkinson’s affects walking and balance. It may help researchers identify signs that relate to gait problems, and participants with a specific implanted stimulator may be able to take part in testing with stimulation turned off.
This study tests whether different types of gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp can help improve walking and balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find a better way to support rehabilitation.
This study tests whether walking to a steady beat of music can help improve your walking and balance. It is for people with mild to moderate multiple sclerosis who can walk but may need a little support.
This trial tests whether listening to rhythmic music while walking can improve gait problems caused by stroke, Parkinson's disease, or other parkinsonism conditions. It is designed for people who can walk on their own but have an uneven or slow pace.
This study tests a targeted motor training approach to improve walking (gait) in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may be considered if your walking is affected but you can already walk steadily for 10 minutes without help.
This trial tests whether combining corrective exercises with rhythmic music (auditory cues) helps people recover better balance, walking ability, and quality of life after a stroke. The goal is to see if music-guided movement improves recovery more than exercise alone.
