Virtual reality for balance and fall prevention in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether playing virtual reality games can improve balance, reduce fall risk, and boost exercise ability in people with Parkinson's disease. You will attend therapy sessions that use a VR headset designed to help with movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 55 and 75 years old.
- You have Parkinson's disease that is mild to moderate (stages I to III on the Hoehn and Yahr scale).
- You can understand simple instructions and take part in the therapy sessions.
- You have no serious memory or thinking problems (tested by a short questionnaire).
- You have no vision, inner-ear, or other health problems that would make using virtual reality unsafe.

This trial compares two therapies for people with Parkinson's disease: virtual reality exercises and a type of physical therapy called proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. It aims to see which one helps improve movement and balance more.
This trial tests a brain-training game designed to improve balance in people with Parkinson's disease. You may be eligible if you have mild to moderate Parkinson's, have had a fall and freezing episodes in the past year, and are not very active.
This study tests whether a virtual reality training program called 'Virtual Park' can help motivate people with certain neurological conditions (like Parkinson's disease, MS, or stroke recovery) to exercise. The goal is to see if exercising in a virtual environment makes training more engaging and effective.
This trial tests a new gamified system to help manage Parkinson's symptoms through immersive exercises. It may improve your movement and quality of life.
This trial tests a walking program to help people with Parkinson's disease improve their mobility and reduce symptoms. You may join if you can walk with some difficulty and have no other conditions that affect walking.
This trial tests an innovative, technology-supported rehabilitation program to help older adults with early-stage Parkinson’s disease improve daily function. It may be helpful if your symptoms are mild and your treatments have been stable for at least a month.
