Ischemic conditioning for Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment called ischemic conditioning, which uses brief blood-flow restriction to improve blood vessel health, to see if it can help with Parkinson's disease symptoms. It may help improve blood flow and potentially ease some motor and non-motor symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, with or without mild cognitive complaints that do not affect daily life.
- Your blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol are well controlled (e.g., blood pressure not above 160/100).
- You have not had a heart attack, stroke, or blood clot in the past 6 months.
- You do not have an autoimmune disease, active infection (within the last month), or other neurological condition that prevents training.
- You are not a smoker (or quit more than 6 months ago).

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 trial studies whether doing regular moderate aerobic exercise can help protect the brain in people with Parkinson’s disease. It also includes people without Parkinson’s to compare exercise effects, using fitness and safety screening to keep everyone safe.
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 different amounts of physical exercise affect brain chemicals, movement symptoms, and brain connections in people with Parkinson's disease. You would walk and do exercises while researchers track changes over time.
This study tests whether a simple, non-drug treatment (like using a blood pressure cuff to briefly restrict blood flow in the arm) can help improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment caused by small vessel disease. It may help by improving blood flow to the brain.
This study tests whether gently restricting blood flow to your legs during exercise can help improve balance for people with Parkinson's disease. You will do simple leg exercises while wearing a special cuff, which may strengthen muscles and improve steadiness.
