Brain activity during walking in atypical Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at brain activity while walking in people with atypical Parkinsonian syndromes like PSP or MSA. It may help understand how these conditions affect walking and balance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with PSP (progressive supranuclear palsy) or MSA (multiple system atrophy).
- You can walk for up to 5 minutes, with or without a walker or cane.
- You do not have severe memory or thinking problems that make it hard to follow instructions.
- You do not have severe freezing of gait (sudden inability to move your feet while walking).
- You do not have severe vision or hearing problems that would make assessments difficult.
- You have no other neurological disease or other health condition that affects walking or balance.

This study examines how your brain works when you walk and think at the same time after stroke. Researchers will use brain imaging to understand this process, which could help develop better rehabilitation strategies.
This study measures brain and nerve “biomarkers” to understand how Parkinson’s affects walking and balance. It may help researchers identify signs that relate to gait problems, and participants with a specific implanted stimulator may be able to take part in testing with stimulation turned off.
This study looks at how brain activity relates to thinking and walking in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help understand the connections between these functions.
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 looks at how your ability to pay attention and control actions relates to how well you can adjust your walking, especially on changing surfaces. It may help explain why some people with Parkinson's have more difficulty walking in busy environments.
This trial tests a “neurofeedback” training program using a special light-sensing cap (fNIRS) to help improve balance and walking in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may also do guided walking practice mentally (imagery training), and your ability to walk and balance will be measured.
