High-Intensity Exercise for Parkinson's: Brain and Body
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, at an early stage (Stage I or II on the Hoehn-Yahr scale).
- You are between 45 and 80 years old.
- You can walk on your own for at least 10 minutes without help.
- You already exercise regularly (like walking, biking, or other workouts).
- You do not have any medical condition that makes exercise unsafe, such as severe hearing or vision loss, balance problems, or a recent surgery.

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.
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 trial tests whether a strength training program can improve function and body chemistry in people with Parkinson's. It may help if you are in the middle stages of the disease and have stable motor symptoms.
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 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 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.
