Rhythm and timing study for people with Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests how people with Parkinson's perceive rhythm (like timing in music). It aims to understand how the brain processes rhythm and may help guide future therapies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
- Your Parkinson's should be in early stages (stage 1 or 2 on the Hoehn-Yahr scale).
- You need to be taking immediate-release levodopa, a common Parkinson's medication.
- You must score 26 or higher on a short thinking and memory test (MoCA).
- You cannot have dementia, other brain conditions, substance abuse, hearing problems, or other psychiatric conditions.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two types of music therapy to see which one helps people with Parkinson's disease more. Participants will either listen to music passively or actively engage in music activities, and researchers will track how it affects their movement and well-being.
This trial tests whether using wearable sensors can help doctors adjust Parkinson's medications more precisely to reduce motor fluctuations (times when symptoms worsen or improve unpredictably). It might help you have more stable symptom control throughout the day.
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.
This study tests whether listening to rhythmic sounds can help improve attention and alertness in people with Lewy body dementia or mild cognitive impairment with Lewy bodies. You and a study partner will participate, and the therapy involves tapping along to a beat.
This study follows people with Parkinson's disease who still have movement symptoms despite taking medication. It aims to understand how the disease changes over time, which could help improve future treatments.
This study looks at how people with Parkinson’s adapt their movements and how their brain sensorimotor system works. It may help researchers improve understanding of Parkinson’s and refine movement-focused therapies.
