Mental practice for freezing in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether remote mental practice can help reduce freezing of gait in people with Parkinson's disease. If you experience freezing episodes, you may be able to participate from home through video calls.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson's disease.
- You take medication for Parkinson's (dopaminergic drugs).
- You experience freezing of gait (feeling like your feet are stuck to the ground).
- You can walk independently at home without help from another person.
- You have internet access and a device that can make video calls.
- You do not have other serious medical conditions or untreated vision/hearing problems.

This study uses brain imaging to understand why some people with Parkinson's suddenly feel like their feet are glued to the floor (freezing of gait). It may help find better treatments for this symptom.
This study tests whether a 6-week exercise program can help people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait. You would exercise three times a week to see if it reduces freezing and improves turning.
This study uses virtual reality and brain recordings from your DBS device to understand why some people with Parkinson's experience freezing of gait (feeling like your feet are stuck to the ground). You'll be asked to walk in a safe VR environment while researchers monitor your brain activity.
This study looks at people with Parkinson's disease or similar conditions who have walking problems like freezing of gait (feet feeling stuck) or balance issues. Researchers want to learn more about what causes these symptoms and how they affect people over time.
This trial tests whether a spinal cord stimulator can reduce freezing of gait (feeling stuck when walking) in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help you if you have daily freezing episodes and are willing to have a small device implanted.
This study looks at how the balance system and brain work together to cause freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease. By understanding these factors, researchers hope to find better ways to help people walk more steadily.
