Thinking and walking flexibility in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how thinking skills (like the ability to stop or change a movement) relate to how well people with Parkinson's can adapt their walking to different situations. Participation may help you understand your own movement and could lead to better rehabilitation approaches.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (idiopathic type).
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You can walk independently for at least 30 meters (about 100 feet) without a cane or walker.
- Your Parkinson's medication has been stable for at least two weeks.
- You have no other major neurological, muscle, bone, or heart conditions that could affect walking.
- You have not had brain surgery (like deep brain stimulation).

This trial tests a program to help people with Parkinson's disease improve their walking and balance through physical exercise. It's for people in early to moderate stages who have some walking trouble.
This study looks at how brain activity relates to thinking and walking in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help understand the connections between these functions.
This trial tests a “neurofeedback” training program using a special light-sensing cap (fNIRS) to help improve balance and walking in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may also do guided walking practice mentally (imagery training), and your ability to walk and balance will be measured.
This study looks at whether doing a thinking task while walking (called a 'dual-task') affects how people with Parkinson's disease walk. It may help improve balance and movement.
This study measures brain activity while you walk using a noninvasive light sensor setup. Researchers want to see how Parkinson’s medication and simple “walking cues” change balance and brain signals.
This study tests a questionnaire about thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to see how well the questionnaire works and may help doctors better understand cognitive changes in Parkinson's.
