Brain training with MRI for Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a brain-training technique called neurofeedback can help people with Parkinson's disease. You will learn to control certain brain signals while having an MRI scan, which may improve your symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
- Your Parkinson's symptoms are at a mild to moderate stage (Hoehn and Yahr stages 1, 2, or 3).
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are able to safely have an MRI scan (no metal implants or pacemakers, etc.).
- You do not have a history of certain severe mental health conditions (like psychosis or bipolar disorder).
- You have not used illegal drugs in the last 4 weeks and do not drink alcohol heavily.

This study uses a brain-training technique called neurofeedback to see if it can help people with Parkinson's disease. It might improve symptoms by training your brain to work differently.
This study looks at how people with Parkinson’s adapt their movements and how their brain sensorimotor system works. It may help researchers improve understanding of Parkinson’s and refine movement-focused therapies.
This trial tests a “neurofeedback” training program using a special light-sensing cap (fNIRS) to help improve balance and walking in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may also do guided walking practice mentally (imagery training), and your ability to walk and balance will be measured.
This study uses advanced brain scans to find early signs of nerve damage in people with Parkinson's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, and healthy volunteers. It aims to discover new markers that could help diagnose these conditions earlier.
This study tests a new type of therapy that combines brain training (neurofeedback), mild electrical stimulation to help with movement, and virtual reality exercises. It aims to improve walking and movement for people with Parkinson's disease.
This study uses a safe, noninvasive brain stimulation method (transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS) to look at brain signals related to thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find a better way to measure cognitive changes over time.
