How well the body bounces back in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how well people with Parkinson's disease handle physical stress. It measures heart rate, blood pressure, and physical function to understand 'physiological resilience' (how your body bounces back). It may help doctors better predict health changes in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Parkinson's disease diagnosed by a doctor.
- You can walk 30 meters (about 100 feet) with or without a walking aid.
- You have no serious heart or lung disease (except well-controlled high blood pressure or asthma).
- You have no severe memory or thinking problems (dementia).
- You have not had cancer in the last 2 years (except minor skin cancer or if you haven't had treatment in the last 3 months).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is testing a set of physical tests (called the Short Physical Performance Battery) to see if they are a good way to measure physical function in people with Parkinson's disease. By participating, you help doctors better understand how to assess mobility and balance in Parkinson's, which could improve future care.
This study looks at how different amounts of physical exercise affect brain chemicals, movement symptoms, and brain connections in people with Parkinson's disease. You would walk and do exercises while researchers track changes over time.
This study tests whether breaking exercise into short 'snacks' throughout the day can help people with Parkinson disease improve their movement and daily function. You'll do supervised activities at home using a device with internet, and you'll track your progress.
This study explores how physical activity affects people with Parkinson's disease. It's open to anyone with mild to severe Parkinson's who wants to be more active.
This study looks at balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. It uses simple tests to understand what causes trouble with standing and walking, which may help find better treatments.
This study looks at whether physical activity can reduce inflammation in the brain for people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to understand how exercise might help slow the progression of the disease.
