Cueing and video to help walking with Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests if watching short video cues or thinking about walking can help people with Parkinson's disease walk better. You will be asked to walk under different conditions to see what helps most.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
- You can get around without a cane or walker and can walk for at least 10 minutes on your own.
- You speak English comfortably.
- You do not have other conditions that affect your thinking or movement (like a past stroke or brain injury).
- You do not have a deep brain stimulation (DBS) implant.
- You must score at least 24 on a short memory and thinking test.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether watching guided movement videos and then imagining those movements can improve walking and movement in people with Parkinson's. It may help if you are in early to moderate stages and don't have serious thinking or health problems.
This study is developing digital services for people with Parkinson's disease and also includes healthy volunteers. It aims to understand movement problems like freezing of gait and festination, and uses a virtual reality system to measure these issues.
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 study tests whether a new device called Cue2Walk can help people with Parkinson's disease who have freezing of gait. The device detects when you freeze and sends a signal (like a beep) to help you start walking again. Researchers want to see if it is worth the cost compared to your usual care.
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 tests a device called cueStim to see if it can help people with Parkinson’s disease who experience freezing of gait (a sudden inability to move their feet). You may be able to join if you are between 60 and 90 years old, take levodopa, and can walk a short distance without help.
