Home-based AI system for detecting freezing of gait in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are at least 18 years old and able to give informed consent
- You can walk about 30 feet on your own, with or without a cane or walker
- You do not live in a nursing home or assisted-living facility
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease by a neurologist
- You experience freezing of gait on a daily basis
- You are willing to skip your morning Parkinson's medication during one study visit

This study uses brain imaging to understand why some people with Parkinson's suddenly feel like their feet are glued to the floor (freezing of gait). It may help find better treatments for this symptom.
This trial tests whether a spinal cord stimulator can reduce freezing of gait (feeling stuck when walking) in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help you if you have daily freezing episodes and are willing to have a small device implanted.
This trial tests whether atomoxetine, a drug that boosts a brain chemical called noradrenaline, can help reduce freezing of gait—a feeling of your feet being stuck to the ground—in people with Parkinson's disease. You would continue your usual Parkinson's medications during the study and undergo walking tests and brain scans to see if the drug helps.
This study looks at people with Parkinson's disease or similar conditions who have walking problems like freezing of gait (feet feeling stuck) or balance issues. Researchers want to learn more about what causes these symptoms and how they affect people over time.
This study uses virtual reality and brain recordings from your DBS device to understand why some people with Parkinson's experience freezing of gait (feeling like your feet are stuck to the ground). You'll be asked to walk in a safe VR environment while researchers monitor your brain activity.
This study looks at how a special brain pacemaker (called the Medtronic Percept device) affects walking problems like freezing of gait in people with Parkinson's. It aims to help understand and improve treatment.
