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 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 if combining online video games with physical therapy can help people with Parkinson's disease improve their movement and daily function. It may be a good fit if you have mild to moderate symptoms and no severe memory problems.
This study tests a fun exercise program that includes games for people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to see if this type of program can help improve movement and daily life.
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 whether playing video games that involve movement (exergaming) or using a robotic arm device can help improve arm function and reduce inflammation after a stroke. It may be a good fit if you are ready to start therapy and can sit up and watch a screen.
