How Parkinson's Affects Your Sense of Rhythm
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This research study explores how Parkinson's disease changes your ability to perceive and respond to rhythms and timing. Understanding this may help doctors develop better treatments to improve movement and coordination.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease
- Your Parkinson's is in early stages (Stage 1 or 2 on the Hoehn-Yahr scale, which measures disease progression)
- You are currently taking immediate-release levodopa medication (a common Parkinson's drug)
- You score 26 or higher on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, indicating normal thinking and memory skills
- You do not have dementia, other brain diseases, or a history of hearing problems
- You have no significant history of substance abuse or psychiatric conditions like depression or anxiety requiring treatment

This study compares passive listening to music versus active music-making for people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to see which approach better helps movement and well-being.
This study looks at how your ability to pay attention and control actions relates to how well you can adjust your walking, especially on changing surfaces. It may help explain why some people with Parkinson's have more difficulty walking in busy environments.
This trial tests if using a wearable sensor can help doctors better adjust Parkinson's medications to reduce motor fluctuations (times when symptoms are not well controlled). It is for people with Parkinson's who have been on levodopa for at least 4 years and experience ups and downs in their movement control.
This study tests how different exercise programs affect movement, fitness, and quality of life in people with Parkinson’s disease. It may help you find an exercise routine that improves your symptoms.
This study looks at how people with Parkinson's disease learn and produce speech. It may help researchers understand how Parkinson's affects talking and how to improve communication.
This study checks whether measuring levodopa (a Parkinson medicine) in real time can help better understand Parkinson medication effects. You may be asked to wear/perform study monitoring while taking your usual carbidopa/levodopa tablets.
