Cane training for walking in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether learning to use a simple cane can improve walking in people with Parkinson's disease. You will be trained to use a cane and then your walking will be measured.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease by a neurologist.
- Your Parkinson's is at a moderate stage (Hoehn and Yahr stage II, III, or IV).
- You have been on the same Parkinson's medications for at least 6 months.
- You can walk on your own (even if slowly) in a hallway, and you are not already using a cane or walker regularly.
- You do not have serious memory problems, a brain stimulator, or other conditions that might affect walking.

This trial tests whether a new type of walking exercise (called CsDCS) can help improve your ability to move around and do daily activities. It is designed for people with Parkinson's who are already on medication and can walk independently.
This study tests whether a 24-week community walking program (brisk walking) can help people with Parkinson's disease who have trouble walking. If you join, you will walk regularly with others in your community and have your walking ability checked before and after.
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 trial studies walking patterns and how walking is controlled in people with Parkinson’s disease. It may help researchers understand movement control and improve future therapies by comparing walking ability and patterns.
This study tests a community-based walking program designed for people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to see if regular walking can help improve movement and overall well-being.
