Exercise and thinking in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (the kind with no known cause).
- You must be 40 years old or older.
- You must be willing and able to join high-intensity exercise classes (HIIT).
- You must not have a serious brain condition like stroke, epilepsy, or multiple sclerosis.
- You should not already be exercising heavily (like high-intensity 3+ times a week or moderate 5+ times a week).
- Your Parkinson's must be at a stage where you can still move around without help (Hoehn & Yahr stage 3 or less).

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 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 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.
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 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 whether physical activity can reduce inflammation in the brain for people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to understand how exercise might help slow the progression of the disease.
