Exercise with a pressure cuff on your arm for balance and anxiety in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a type of exercise called blood flow restriction aerobic exercise, which uses a pressure cuff on your arm to make the workout more effective. It may help improve balance and reduce anxiety in people with Parkinson's disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
