Balance and walking study in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Parkinson's disease or dystonia (diagnosed by a neurologist).
- You are between 45 and 80 years old.
- You can walk 50 meters (about half a football field) without a cane or walker.
- You do not have a pacemaker, metal in your head, or a history of certain brain conditions (like stroke, seizures, or multiple sclerosis).
- You are not taking blood-thinning medication and have not had recent fainting episodes.

This study looks at how the balance system and brain work together to cause freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease. By understanding these factors, researchers hope to find better ways to help people walk more steadily.
This study looks at how people with rare or common neurological diseases walk and keep their balance. You will be asked to do simple walking and standing tasks to help doctors understand these problems better.
This study tests a new way to help people with Parkinson's disease improve their balance and standing ability through guided exercises in a lab setting. Researchers want to see if this approach can safely help reduce balance problems and fall risk.
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 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 tests a home-based walking and balance training program for people with cerebellar ataxia or Parkinson's disease. The training is done at home, so you don't need to travel. The goal is to see if this simple exercise program can improve your walking and balance.
