Slowing Parkinson's Early With Exercise
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a specific exercise program can slow the early stages of Parkinson's disease in people who have a genetic risk (LRRK2 or GBA variants). You will use a smartphone app to guide your exercise from home.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a specific genetic change (LRRK2 G2019S or GBA N370S) that is known to increase the risk of Parkinson's disease.
- You must be 50 years old or older.
- You must be able to walk inside your home without a cane, walker, or other walking aid.
- You must have a smartphone with a screen size of at least 4.6 inches, running Android 9 or newer, or iOS 15 or newer.
- You cannot be already doing a high amount of physical activity (the trial is testing a new exercise program).
- You cannot have a diagnosed neurodegenerative disease (like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, etc.) or fall more than 2 times per year.

This study tests whether a specific amount of exercise can slow the development of Parkinson's disease in people who have a sleep condition called iRBD. If you have iRBD and are not very active, researchers will help you start a personalized exercise program and track your progress with a smartphone app.
This trial tests whether a motivating phone-based exercise plan can help people with early-stage Parkinson’s move more safely and consistently. You may qualify if you can walk on your own, understand Dutch, and are fairly inactive right now.
This study tests if increasing physical activity can help slow down cognitive (thinking) decline in people with iRBD, a sleep disorder that often leads to Parkinson's or dementia. You'll use a smartphone and a FitBit to track your activity and receive coaching.
This trial studies whether a regular aerobic cycling program can slow the progression of Parkinson's disease. Researchers will also look at how genetics may affect the benefits of exercise.
This trial tests a home-based exercise platform to help people with Parkinson’s disease improve their movement and quality of life. You will use a tablet or computer at home to do guided exercises and have your progress tracked.
This study tests if short bursts of exercise (called 'snacks') help people with Parkinson's disease. You would do quick exercises at home and track them online. It might improve your movement and daily function.
