Exergaming for better arm and hand function in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether exergaming (video games that involve physical movement) can improve arm and hand function in people with early-stage Parkinson's disease. It may help you move better and do daily tasks more easily.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have early-stage Parkinson's disease (stages I to III on the Hoehn and Yahr scale).
- You score 24 or higher on the MMSE, a simple test of thinking and memory.
- You can talk, understand instructions, and follow directions.
- You take levodopa/carbidopa medication regularly.
- You do not have other brain or muscle problems that affect hand movement.
- You do not have any serious medical condition that requires treatment with other medicines.

This study tests whether doing arm-coordination exercises remotely (via video call) with dual tasks—like moving your arms while counting—can help improve hand function in people with Parkinson's disease. You'd do sessions at home with a caregiver's help.
This trial tests whether playing interactive video games that combine exercise and thinking challenges (called 'exergaming') can help people with dementia. It aims to see if this fun way to move and think can improve memory, daily function, and quality of life.
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 a fun video-game-based therapy to help improve arm movement in people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago. You will play interactive games that guide your arm exercises, which may help you regain strength and control.
This study tests a new robotic system that combines movement and mental exercises for people with Parkinson's. It may help improve both your physical and thinking skills.
This study tests whether combining motor (physical movement) exercises with cognitive (thinking) exercises can help people with Parkinson's disease. It may improve both movement and thinking skills.
