Aerobic exercise for brain and movement in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether moderate aerobic exercise (like brisk walking or cycling) can improve thinking, memory, and walking ability in people with Parkinson's disease. It also looks at how exercise affects blood flow in the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a group exercise program designed for Parkinson's disease patients can be safely and practically run in a community setting. The program combines different types of movement and exercise to help improve function and quality of life.
This trial studies whether a physical activity program can improve brain health and thinking skills in people with Parkinson's disease who also have mild cognitive impairment. It is designed for those who are not already very active.
This trial studies whether doing regular moderate aerobic exercise can help protect the brain in people with Parkinson’s disease. It also includes people without Parkinson’s to compare exercise effects, using fitness and safety screening to keep everyone safe.
This study looks at how different amounts of physical exercise affect brain chemicals, movement symptoms, and brain connections in people with Parkinson's disease. You would walk and do exercises while researchers track changes over time.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can improve memory and thinking in people with Parkinson's disease. You may be able to join if you are between 50 and 80, have mild to moderate Parkinson's, and can walk independently.
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.
