Slowing cognitive decline with exercise in iRBD
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if increasing physical activity can help slow down cognitive (thinking) decline in people with iRBD, a sleep disorder that often leads to Parkinson's or dementia. You'll use a smartphone and a FitBit to track your activity and receive coaching.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with iRBD (a sleep condition where you physically act out dreams) through a sleep test, OR you are a healthy volunteer without iRBD.
- You currently do less than 2 hours of sports or outdoor activities per day and average fewer than 10,000 steps daily.
- You own a smartphone with a screen at least 4.6 inches (iPhone 6s or newer, or Android with Android 9 or later) and know how to use it. It cannot be a Huawei P8 Lite, P9 Lite, P20 Lite, or Xiaomi Mi 6.
- You speak German fluently (native or C1/C2 level).
- You do not have serious heart problems, or difficulty using your hands or thinking clearly that would make it hard to use a smartphone.

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 trial tests whether a motivating phone-based exercise plan can help people with early-stage Parkinson’s move more safely and consistently. You may qualify if you can walk on your own, understand Dutch, and are fairly inactive right now.
This trial tests whether a specific exercise program can slow the early stages of Parkinson's disease in people who have a genetic risk (LRRK2 or GBA variants). You will use a smartphone app to guide your exercise from home.
This study is testing whether a smartphone app can detect early signs of Parkinson's disease by tracking things like sleep and movement. It's for people with a sleep disorder called RBD, people with Parkinson's, and healthy volunteers.
This trial tests a 8-week online program to help people with Parkinson's disease improve their daily activities through behavioral strategies. You can join from home using a computer, tablet, or phone with internet.
This study looks at whether changes in “slow wave sleep” (a deep sleep stage) match improvements in thinking for people with Parkinson’s. It uses an exercise/recovery-focused approach and checks sleep and thinking scores to see if these changes go together.
