Brain Activity, Cognitive Function, and Walking Ability in Parkinson's Disease

Study on brain, thinking, and walking in Parkinson's Disease.

Recruiting
40-80 years
All
Phase N/A

Study Purpose: The study explores how brain activity and thinking skills (called cognitive functions) affect walking in people with Parkinson's Disease (PD). Researchers want to understand how these factors influence walking ability while doing two tasks at once, known as dual-task walking.

Eligibility: To join, you need to have PD, be on stable medication, and be able to walk 10 meters without help. You should also score 24 or above on the Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE)

  • **Study Length:** Not specified.
  • **Visits Needed:** Participants may need to visit a research center for tests.
  • **Potential Risks:** No specific risks are mentioned, but consider discussing with your doctor.

This study could help scientists understand how brain functions relate to walking in people with PD, possibly leading to better treatments in the future.

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.
