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.

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 trial tests a digital program that provides behavioral and exercise support for people with Parkinson's disease. It is done remotely over 8 weeks Correo and aims to improve movement and quality of life.
This study uses a smartphone app and a smartwatch to see if it can help predict the risk of developing Parkinson's disease. It is for people who have certain early signs that might be linked to Parkinson's, but who don't have the disease yet.
This study tests a prevention program to see if it can help slow down or stop the early signs of Parkinson's disease. It is for people with a sleep disorder that is linked to a higher risk of Parkinson's, as well as people already diagnosed with early Parkinson's.
