Study on balance and brain in Parkinson's freezing of gait
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (with or without freezing of gait).
- You can walk at least 50 meters without a cane or walker.
- You do not have other serious neurological conditions or a history of seizures, stroke, or brain surgery.
- You do not have a deep brain stimulator or other implanted devices in the brain.
- You are not pregnant, and you have no recent history of motion sickness or migraines.

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 how a special brain pacemaker (called the Medtronic Percept device) affects walking problems like freezing of gait in people with Parkinson's. It aims to help understand and improve treatment.
This study uses brain imaging to understand why some people with Parkinson's suddenly feel like their feet are glued to the floor (freezing of gait). It may help find better treatments for this symptom.
This study looks at how Parkinson's disease affects balance and walking, especially the freezing of gait. It uses a special brain implant (deep brain stimulation) to understand the brain signals and may help improve future treatments for movement problems.
This study tests motion-sensor devices (small inertial measurement units) to detect moments when walking suddenly “freezes” in Parkinson’s disease. If you have freezing episodes, it may help researchers measure them more accurately and support better monitoring.
This study tests whether a 6-week exercise program can help people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait. You would exercise three times a week to see if it reduces freezing and improves turning.
