A tool to ease freezing episodes in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a system designed to help people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait, a sudden inability to move forward. The tool aims to reduce these episodes and improve walking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
- You have experienced freezing of gait before.
- You are able to walk on your own.
- You score at least 21 on a memory and thinking test (MOCA).
- You do not have nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy), dementia, or severe walking problems unrelated to Parkinson's.

This trial tests a noninvasive ultrasound treatment targeting a brain area called the pedunculopontine nucleus to help reduce freezing of gait (a sudden inability to walk) in Parkinson's disease. If you have Parkinson's and experience freezing, you may be eligible to try this new approach.
This study tests whether a 6-week exercise program can help people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait. You would exercise three times a week to see if it reduces freezing and improves turning.
This study tests a new type of deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting a specific brain area to help people with Parkinson's disease who have severe freezing of gait that doesn't improve with medication. It aims to see if this treatment can reduce freezing episodes and improve walking.
This study tests a device that may help people with Parkinson's disease who experience 'freezing'—when their feet feel stuck to the ground. It aims to see if using the device can reduce these episodes.
This study tests whether a new device called Cue2Walk can help people with Parkinson's disease who have freezing of gait. The device detects when you freeze and sends a signal (like a beep) to help you start walking again. Researchers want to see if it is worth the cost compared to your usual care.
This study tests an artificial intelligence system that detects freezing of gait—sudden, involuntary pauses while walking—using sensors you wear at home. The goal is to better understand and eventually help manage this common Parkinson's symptom.
