Osteopathic massage study for leg muscle in Parkinson’s disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial studies whether osteopathic manipulative medicine (gentle hands-on treatment) can change how leg muscles work in people with Parkinson’s disease. It may help with leg pain, cramping, or walking problems caused by Parkinson’s.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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.
This trial tests a home-based exercise platform to help people with Parkinson’s disease improve their movement and quality of life. You will use a tablet or computer at home to do guided exercises and have your progress tracked.
This trial uses new technology (like sensors or apps) to help diagnose and monitor Parkinson's disease early. Researchers want to see if a simple, widespread healthcare service model can improve care. Both people with Parkinson's and healthy volunteers are needed.
This study looks at patients with Parkinson's disease who visit a clinic that offers complementary medicine (like natural therapies). It aims to learn more about their experiences and health outcomes.
