This study tests whether a specific amount of exercise can slow the development of Parkinson's disease in people who have a sleep condition called iRBD. If you have iRBD and are not very active, researchers will help you start a personalized exercise program and track your progress with a smartphone app.
This study tests if short bursts of exercise (called 'snacks') help people with Parkinson's disease. You would do quick exercises at home and track them online. It might improve your movement and daily function.
This study looks at whether an exercise program can improve sleep problems in people with Parkinson’s disease. It’s mainly for those who already have poor sleep quality while taking stable Parkinson’s medicine.
This study tests whether a group exercise program designed for Parkinson's disease patients can be safely and practically run in a community setting. The program combines different types of movement and exercise to help improve function and quality of life.
This trial tests a program to help people with Parkinson's disease improve their walking and balance through physical exercise. It's for people in early to moderate stages who have some walking trouble.
This study looks at sleep problems in people with Parkinson's disease, people with REM sleep behavior disorder (a condition that causes acting out dreams), and healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand how sleep is affected in early and full Parkinson's disease.
