Exercise effects on brain health in neurological diseases
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how exercise might change the body and brain in people with certain neurological disorders compared to healthy people. If you join, you may do some exercise tests and MRI scans, which could help us learn how to improve brain health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are fluent in English.
- You have one of these conditions: epilepsy, functional neurological disorder, mild cognitive impairment, dementia, Parkinson's disease, concussion, or brain tumor. Or you are a healthy person with no neurological condition.
- You are able to use a stationary bike for exercise and do not have conditions that make exercise unsafe (like severe heart disease or uncontrolled high blood pressure).

- You can have an MRI scan (no metal implants, not pregnant, etc.).

This study looks at how different amounts of physical exercise affect brain chemicals, movement symptoms, and brain connections in people with Parkinson's disease. You would walk and do exercises while researchers track changes over time.
This trial studies whether doing regular moderate aerobic exercise can help protect the brain in people with Parkinson’s disease. It also includes people without Parkinson’s to compare exercise effects, using fitness and safety screening to keep everyone safe.
This study looks at whether physical activity can reduce inflammation in the brain for people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to understand how exercise might help slow the progression of the disease.
This trial studies whether a physical activity program can improve brain health and thinking skills in people with Parkinson's disease who also have mild cognitive impairment. It is designed for those who are not already very active.
This study tests whether a mix of physical exercise and computer brain training can improve working memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It may help by strengthening memory skills and supporting brain health through supervised activity and computer-based practice.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can improve memory and thinking in people with Parkinson's disease. You may be able to join if you are between 50 and 80, have mild to moderate Parkinson's, and can walk independently.
