Rhythmic beats to improve walking after stroke or Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether listening to rhythmic music while walking can improve gait problems caused by stroke, Parkinson's disease, or other parkinsonism conditions. It is designed for people who can walk on their own but have an uneven or slow pace.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 80 years old.
- You have had a stroke, Parkinson's disease, or a condition that causes parkinsonism symptoms (like slow or shuffling walking).
- You can walk without a cane or walker, but your walk is noticeably uneven or slow (walking speed between 0.4 and 0.8 meters per second).
- You have enough hearing and vision to follow simple instructions.
- You have not had a heart attack in the last 3 months, and your blood pressure is under control.
- You are not currently doing any other rehabilitation therapy for your walking.

This study tests whether using special sounds (sonification) during gait training can improve walking for people with stroke, Parkinson’s disease, or multiple sclerosis. It may help your walking speed, stamina (fatigue), and overall walking pattern.
This trial looks at how turning on and using a specific Parkinson’s brain stimulator affects your walking. It may help doctors understand what changes in gait (walking) can happen with this device and settings.
This study tests a targeted motor training approach to improve walking (gait) in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may be considered if your walking is affected but you can already walk steadily for 10 minutes without help.
This study tests whether using simple walking tricks (like stepping over lines or listening to a beat) can help people with Parkinson's improve their walking. If you haven't already been using these tricks daily, you may be able to join and see if they help you.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can help people with Parkinson's disease walk better and feel steadier. If you are in the early-to-moderate stages and have some walking issues, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether different types of gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp can help improve walking and balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find a better way to support rehabilitation.
