FAST therapy to treat freezing of gait in Parkinson’s
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests “FAST therapy,” an approach that uses stimulation to help reduce freezing of walking in people with Parkinson’s disease. It may help improve walking and movement by training the brain in a targeted way.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have Parkinson’s disease and were diagnosed using standard PD criteria
- You are between 45 and 89 years old

- You can speak English and complete study consent in writing
- You do not have other neurologic conditions besides Parkinson’s
- You do not have certain implanted metal/medical devices that can’t be used with stimulation

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a noninvasive ultrasound treatment targeting a brain area called the pedunculopontine nucleus to help reduce freezing of gait (a sudden inability to walk) in Parkinson's disease. If you have Parkinson's and experience freezing, you may be eligible to try this new approach.
This trial tests whether a spinal cord stimulator can reduce freezing of gait (feeling stuck when walking) in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help you if you have daily freezing episodes and are willing to have a small device implanted.
This trial tests an adaptive deep brain stimulation (DBS) system designed to improve freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease. It is for people who still have trouble walking despite medications and are already planning to have DBS surgery.
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 looks at how a special brain pacemaker (called the Medtronic Percept device) affects walking problems like freezing of gait in people with Parkinson's. It aims to help understand and improve treatment.
This trial tests if a special type of brain stimulation (called TMS) can help people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait—when your feet feel stuck to the floor. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve walking and reduce those freezing episodes.
