Read our Parkinson Disease research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether combining high-intensity exercise with virtual reality games can help improve symptoms and brain function in people with Parkinson's disease. Half of the participants will do intense cardio workouts paired with VR games, while the other half will do stretching exercises paired with VR games. The study will measure changes in balance, walking ability, brain activity, and quality of life over 8 weeks.
Parkinson's disease affects balance and walking, which can significantly impact daily life. Researchers believe that combining the benefits of intense physical exercise with the brain-stimulating effects of virtual reality might work better together than either treatment alone to improve motor function and promote brain healing.
You will come to the study site 3 times per week for 8 weeks. During each session, you'll either do high-intensity cardio exercise or gentle stretching (depending on which group you're assigned to), followed by playing virtual reality games. Researchers will test your balance, walking ability, and brain function at the start and end of the study, and will also take blood samples to measure markers of brain health.
