Phase N/A

Parkinson's disease (PD) affects millions globally, causing walking problems for many, even with medication. This study explores if treadmill training can improve walking. Treadmill training involves walking on a moving belt, sometimes with added challenges or virtual reality experiences, to boost balance and reduce falls. Participants will undergo 12 treadmill training sessions, with check-ins before, after, and 8 to 12 weeks later. A phone app will also help patients practice at home. The app plays beats to guide walking speeds.

The main goal is to understand how the training helps and if improvements carry over into daily life. Researchers will study the brain and muscles using EEG (electroencephalogram, measures brain waves) and EMG (electromyogram, measures muscle activity) to see how walking stability improves. Not everyone may benefit the same, and this study aims to find out why.

  • 12 treadmill training sessions and follow-up assessments.
  • Home-based training app for additional practice.
  • Research involves brain and muscle activity studies.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
