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 physical exercise with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)—a non-invasive brain stimulation technique—can improve movement and motor function in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers know that exercise helps Parkinson's symptoms, and they want to see if adding this brain stimulation makes the benefits even stronger. The study will also help scientists understand how these treatments work in the brain.
Parkinson's disease significantly affects movement and quality of life, and while exercise is known to help, scientists don't fully understand why or how to optimize it. This trial aims to determine whether adding brain stimulation can enhance exercise benefits and to unlock the brain mechanisms involved, potentially leading to better, more personalized treatment approaches.

You will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: exercise with real brain stimulation, exercise with fake brain stimulation (placebo), exercise alone, or a control group with no treatment. If assigned to an active group, you'll attend 24 sessions of specialized reactive exercise—some sessions paired with the brain stimulation technique. The entire study lasts about 5 weeks, and researchers will test your movement, motor function, and brain activity before and after to measure any improvements.
