Improve walking through cognitive rehabilitation
- Trial ID
- NCT06588920
- Official Title
- Brain Activity, Cognitive Function, and Walking Ability in People With Parkinson's Disease
- Goal
- Improve walking through cognitive rehabilitation
- Status
- RECRUITING
- Sponsor
- National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University
- Study Type
- OBSERVATIONAL
- Enrollment
- 70 participants
- Conditions
- Healthy Older Adults, Parkinson Disease
- Interventions
- Cognitive function, gait, and electroencephalogram
Plain-Language Summary
The goal is to map how brain electrical activity, thinking skills, and walking relate in people with Parkinson's compared with healthy older adults, to spot patterns that might explain mobility or thinking problems. The team will record EEG while you do walking and cognitive tests, plus measure gait, so they can link specific brain signals to changes in thinking or walking; it is observational, not a drug trial, and participants should be on stable dopaminergic medication so findings reflect the usual effect of levodopa or similar drugs. Looking for adults 40 to 80 with idiopathic Parkinson's who can walk 10 meters unaided, have an MMSE of 24 or higher, at least junior high education, and no prior brain surgery or other major neurological, musculoskeletal, or cardiopulmonary conditions.
