Exercise and memory in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can improve memory and thinking in people with Parkinson's disease. You may be able to join if you are between 50 and 80, have mild to moderate Parkinson's, and can walk independently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
- Your Parkinson's is at an early to moderate stage (Hoehn & Yahr stage 3 or less).
- You are between 50 and 80 years old.
- You can stand and walk at least 10 meters (about 30 feet) without help.
- You are not currently doing more than 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise per week.
- You have not had deep brain stimulation (a brain pacemaker) and have no history of significant memory problems or other major health issues that would interfere with the exercise program.

This trial studies whether a physical activity program can improve brain health and thinking skills in people with Parkinson's disease who also have mild cognitive impairment. It is designed for those who are not already very active.
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 tests whether high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can improve thinking skills in people with Parkinson's. If you are willing to exercise in a group, this trial might help you understand the benefits of exercise.
This trial tests whether a high-intensity functional training program (a mix of strength, balance, and endurance exercises) can improve both physical movement and thinking skills in people with early-stage Parkinson's disease. You may qualify if you are in the early stages, exercise regularly, and can walk independently.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can change how your brain uses energy in Parkinson’s disease. It may help improve symptoms or brain-related measures, especially in people who currently exercise very little.
