Ras training to improve arm movement in Parkinson’s
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether “RAS training” can improve upper-limb (arm/hand) movement in people with Parkinson’s disease. It also studies how the training works and whether it improves movement in everyday tasks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Parkinson’s disease diagnosed by a neurologist (not a different cause)
- Your Parkinson’s symptoms are in stage 2 or 3 (affects both sides or mild balance issues)
- Your thinking/memory screening score (MoCA) is 21 or higher so you can follow instructions
- You are right-handed (handedness score above 60)
- Your Parkinson’s medicine type and dose have not changed in the month right before starting
- You do not have other conditions that could affect hand movement, vision, or hearing

This trial tests an upper limb rehabilitation program for people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to improve arm and hand function while on regular medication.
This study tests exercises to help people with Parkinson's disease improve their arm control, posture, and body awareness. Researchers will measure how well these targeted movements help with daily activities like eating, dressing, and writing.
This trial looks at how turning on and using a specific Parkinson’s brain stimulator affects your walking. It may help doctors understand what changes in gait (walking) can happen with this device and settings.
This study uses online tasks to look at how people with Parkinson’s control reaching movements. You may benefit by contributing to research that could improve understanding and future treatments for movement problems.
This study looks at how people with Parkinson’s adapt their movements and how their brain sensorimotor system works. It may help researchers improve understanding of Parkinson’s and refine movement-focused therapies.
This study tests an online program and task-based training to help people with mild Parkinson's disease improve their movement and reaching ability. It is designed for people who can still sit and reach for objects without major tremors or other health problems.
