Slow Wave Sleep As a Biomarker of Rehabilitation-induced Cognitive Improvement in PD

Studying sleep's role in cognitive improvement for Parkinson's patients.

Recruiting
45 years and older
All
Phase N/A

This study looks at how exercise can help people with Parkinson's disease (PD) think better and if a type of deep sleep called **slow wave sleep (SWS)** can show how much they improve. SWS is a part of sleep that's important for memory and thinking skills. People with PD often have trouble sleeping, which can make thinking harder. In this study, participants will do exercises called **progressive resistance training (PRT)** for 12 weeks. If their SWS improves, they will continue for another 12 weeks. If not, they will switch to **endurance training (ET)** to see if that helps.

  • The study lasts for up to 24 weeks.
  • Participants need to be 45 years or older and have a specific type of PD.
  • No recent changes in medication and able to exercise safely.

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.
