Balance and thinking training for Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests if combining balance and walking exercises with thinking tasks can improve movement and daily life in people with Parkinson's disease. It is for those in early to moderate stages who can participate in physical and cognitive training.

This study looks at whether doing a thinking task while walking (called a 'dual-task') affects how people with Parkinson's disease walk. It may help improve balance and movement.
This study tests whether combining a type of brain stimulation with balance exercises can improve walking and balance in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help you move more easily and reduce fall risk.
This study compares two different training approaches that combine cognitive (thinking) and physical exercises to help improve balance, walking, and daily functioning in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find which method works better for maintaining independence and preventing falls.
This study compares two types of rehabilitation exercises for people with Parkinson's disease: one focusing on balance (vestibular) and one combining balance with thinking tasks (dual-task). It aims to see which is better at improving balance and daily function. If you are between 40 and 75, have mild to moderate Parkinson's, and can do cognitive tasks, you might be eligible.
This study tests two types of physical therapy to help improve balance, walking, and daily independence in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help you move more safely and feel more confident in daily activities.
This study tests a training program that combines physical tasks with thinking challenges (dual tasking). It may help people with Parkinson's feel more confident in their daily activities and improve their quality of life.
