Standing Balance Training Study for Parkinson's Disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to help people with Parkinson's disease improve their balance and standing ability through guided exercises in a lab setting. Researchers want to see if this approach can safely help reduce balance problems and fall risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. It uses simple tests to understand what causes trouble with standing and walking, which may help find better treatments.
This trial tests different ways to help people with Parkinson's disease improve their balance. If you have mild to moderate Parkinson's and are between 50 and 80 years old, you may be able to join and learn which approach works best for you.
This study compares two types of rehabilitation exercises—one focused on balance and one on doing two tasks at once—to see which helps people with Parkinson's disease more. It may help improve your balance and daily activities.
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 home-based walking and balance training program for people with cerebellar ataxia or Parkinson's disease. The training is done at home, so you don't need to travel. The goal is to see if this simple exercise program can improve your walking and balance.
This early-phase study looks at whether adjusting deep brain stimulation (DBS) can improve posture, walking, and balance in people with Parkinson’s disease. If you already have DBS in place, the trial uses computer-based planning to try different DBS directions and settings to see what helps you most.
