Study how choice affects learning movement in Parkinson’s
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are older than 20 years
- You can follow task instructions (score 24 or higher on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment)
- No surgery or injury to your upper arms/hands in the past 6 months
- You do not have other nervous system (neurological) conditions besides Parkinson’s
- You do not have Parkinson’s dementia

This trial examines how self-controlled practice affects motor learning and motivation in people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to determine if giving participants control over their practice schedule can improve their ability to learn and perform motor tasks.
This study tests a type of training that combines thinking tasks with movement exercises to see if it can improve symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease.
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 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 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 tests a way to help people control reaching movements during a task. You may be able to join if you can understand the instructions and successfully perform the reaching task during the experiment.
