Improving turning and freezing in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease by a neurologist
- You experience freezing of gait (feeling like your feet are stuck to the ground)
- You are between 50 and 80 years old
- Your Parkinson's is at stage II, III, or IV (you can still walk but may need some help)
- You can stand and walk for 2 minutes without a walker or cane
- You are willing to exercise with the study team 3 times a week for 6 weeks

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 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 trial tests whether remote mental practice can help reduce freezing of gait in people with Parkinson's disease. If you experience freezing episodes, you may be able to participate from home through video calls.
This trial tests whether atomoxetine, a drug that boosts a brain chemical called noradrenaline, can help reduce freezing of gait—a feeling of your feet being stuck to the ground—in people with Parkinson's disease. You would continue your usual Parkinson's medications during the study and undergo walking tests and brain scans to see if the drug helps.
This study tests a new type of deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting a specific brain area to help people with Parkinson's disease who have severe freezing of gait that doesn't improve with medication. It aims to see if this treatment can reduce freezing episodes and improve walking.
This study tests a brain-computer interface device to help people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait. The goal is to see if the device can reduce freezing episodes when medication isn't enough.
