Brain training game to improve balance in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a brain-training game designed to improve balance in people with Parkinson's disease. You may be eligible if you have mild to moderate Parkinson's, have had a fall and freezing episodes in the past year, and are not very active.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have mild to moderate Parkinson's and can stand and walk without help (no cane or walker).
- You have had at least one fall and one episode of freezing of gait in the past year.
- You currently do less than the recommended amount of aerobic exercise for older adults.
- Your Parkinson's medication dose has been stable for at least a month, or you are not on medication and don't expect to start in the next 3 months.
- You do not have metal implants in your head, dementia, or a recent psychiatric diagnosis.

This study tests whether using virtual reality exercises can help improve balance, reduce fall risk, and build exercise capacity in people with Parkinson's disease. It's a way to make physical therapy more engaging and might help you stay steadier and more active.
This study looks at balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. It uses simple tests to understand what causes trouble with standing and walking, which may help find better treatments.
This study looks at whether different types of instructions (like focusing on your movements) can help improve balance for people with Parkinson's. It might help you move better and feel more steady.
This study compares two types of rehabilitation exercises for people with Parkinson's disease: one focusing on balance (vestibular) and one combining balance with thinking tasks (dual-task). It aims to see which is better at improving balance and daily function. If you are between 40 and 75, have mild to moderate Parkinson's, and can do cognitive tasks, you might be eligible.
This study looks at whether a special balance-focused exercise program can help people with Parkinson's disease start walking more smoothly and activate the right muscles. The exercises may help improve your walking and balance.
This trial tests a “neurofeedback” training program using a special light-sensing cap (fNIRS) to help improve balance and walking in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may also do guided walking practice mentally (imagery training), and your ability to walk and balance will be measured.
