Brain activity, thinking, and walking study for Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how brain activity relates to thinking and walking in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help understand the connections between these functions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (idiopathic, meaning the cause is not known)
- You have been on a stable dose of Parkinson's medication for at least 2 weeks
- You can walk 10 meters (about 33 feet) without help from another person or a walking aid
- You score at least 24 on a test of thinking and memory
- You have at least a junior high school education
- You do not have any other medical condition that affects your balance or brain (like a stroke, severe arthritis, or a lung problem), and you have not had brain surgery such as deep brain stimulation

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies walking patterns and how walking is controlled in people with Parkinson’s disease. It may help researchers understand movement control and improve future therapies by comparing walking ability and patterns.
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 walking, daily activity, and sleep are connected in Parkinson's disease. It compares people with Parkinson's to healthy volunteers to understand these links better.
This study measures brain activity while you walk using a noninvasive light sensor setup. Researchers want to see how Parkinson’s medication and simple “walking cues” change balance and brain signals.
This study measures brain and nerve “biomarkers” to understand how Parkinson’s affects walking and balance. It may help researchers identify signs that relate to gait problems, and participants with a specific implanted stimulator may be able to take part in testing with stimulation turned off.
This study uses digital tools to assess and help people with Parkinson's and other conditions that affect walking. It aims to improve how gait problems like freezing or shuffling are measured and treated.
