Strength training for Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a strength training program can improve function and body chemistry in people with Parkinson's. It may help if you are in the middle stages of the disease and have stable motor symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease
- You are in stage 2 or 3 of the Hoehn and Yahr scale (moderate symptoms)
- You can still do most daily activities on your own (score above 60% on the Schwab and England scale)
- Your motor symptoms are stable or only slightly changeable with medication
- You are not currently doing any strength training for your condition
- You can follow instructions and are willing to participate

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 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 exercises to help people with Parkinson's disease improve their arm control, posture, and body awareness. Researchers will measure how well these targeted movements help with daily activities like eating, dressing, and writing.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can change how your brain uses energy in Parkinson’s disease. It may help improve symptoms or brain-related measures, especially in people who currently exercise very little.
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 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.
