Strength training for people with Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a guided strength training program can improve physical function and quality of life in people living with Parkinson's disease. You'll get expert-led exercises designed to strengthen muscles, which may help with daily movement and stability.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease
- You are at stage 2 or 3 of Parkinson's (able to walk and balance on your own, though maybe with some symptoms on both sides)
- You can handle your daily activities independently (with a score above 60% on a daily function scale)
- Your Parkinson's medications are working steadily or with only slight ups and downs
- You are not currently doing a specific strength training program

This trial tests whether a high-intensity functional training program (a mix of strength, balance, and endurance exercises) can improve both physical movement and thinking skills in people with early-stage Parkinson's disease. You may qualify if you are in the early stages, exercise regularly, and can walk independently.
This study tests whether a structured physical activity program can improve movement and quality of life for people with Parkinson's who have a deep brain stimulator (DBS) device. Half the participants will do the exercise program, and half will continue usual care, to see if exercise helps manage symptoms.
This study offers a home-based exercise program using a special system to help people with Parkinson's disease. You'll exercise at home, and the system will guide you and track your progress to see if it improves your movement and daily life.
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 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 tests whether a supervised exercise program can improve memory and thinking in people with Parkinson's disease. You may be able to join if you are between 50 and 80, have mild to moderate Parkinson's, and can walk independently.
