Exercise and genetics to slow Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a regular aerobic cycling program can slow the progression of Parkinson's disease. Researchers will also look at how genetics may affect the benefits of exercise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease by a doctor or nurse practitioner.
- Your Parkinson's is at an early to moderate stage (Hoehn and Yahr stage I to III).
- You can safely get on and off a stationary bike without help.
- You have a smartphone to track your activity data.
- Your Parkinson's medications have been stable (same dose) for at least 30 days.
- You are not currently using deep brain stimulation (DBS) or focused ultrasound for Parkinson's.

This study tests whether a virtual, guided stationary bike exercise program is safe and helpful for people with Parkinson disease. It may help improve movement and fitness by letting you ride at home or in a controlled setting while using visual and audio guidance.
This trial tests whether a specific exercise program can slow the early stages of Parkinson's disease in people who have a genetic risk (LRRK2 or GBA variants). You will use a smartphone app to guide your exercise from home.
This study tests whether breaking exercise into short 'snacks' throughout the day can help people with Parkinson disease improve their movement and daily function. You'll do supervised activities at home using a device with internet, and you'll track your progress.
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 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 looks at whether physical activity can reduce inflammation in the brain for people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to understand how exercise might help slow the progression of the disease.
