Aerobic exercise benefits in Parkinson's with DBS
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether aerobic exercise (like walking or biking) can improve brain function in people with Parkinson's who have a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device. It may help you learn how exercise affects your symptoms and DBS treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease
- You have a Medtronic Percept DBS device implanted in both sides of your brain
- Your DBS settings have been stable for at least one month
- You can walk for 5 minutes straight, with or without a walker or cane
- You are willing to temporarily stop your Parkinson's medication and DBS for testing

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether adjusting deep brain stimulation (DBS) can improve how you see and move. DBS uses a device implanted in your brain to help control Parkinson's symptoms. This research aims to find better settings for that device to improve your coordination and daily function.
This study looks at factors that predict how well deep brain stimulation (DBS) works for people with Parkinson's disease. If you are considering DBS, joining this research could help doctors better understand who benefits most from the procedure.
This study tests whether different deep brain stimulation settings can improve symptoms in people with Parkinson’s who already have an implanted DBS system in the subthalamic nucleus (STN). To join, you must already have the specific Medtronic device and show good brain signal and symptom response after surgery.
This study looks at whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) — a surgery that uses small electrical pulses to help control movement — is linked to a higher risk of falls in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help doctors better understand how to keep people safer after DBS.
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects walking and balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help improve treatments for freezing of gait.
This study tests if a smart brain stimulator (deep brain stimulation, or DBS) can adjust itself during exercise to help people with Parkinson's disease move better. The goal is to improve how well the device works while you're active.
