# Reduce freezing episodes while walking

**Goal (in five words):** Reduce freezing episodes while walking

**Official Title:** Effect of AR Environment Stimulation on Proactive and Reactive Modulation of Gait in Individuals With Parkinson Disease

**Trial ID:** [NCT06598878](https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06598878)

## Key Facts

- **Phase:** NA
- **Status:** RECRUITING
- **Study Type:** INTERVENTIONAL
- **Sponsor:** Chang Gung University
- **Target Enrollment:** 60 participants
- **Start Date:** 2024-10-04
- **Completion Date:** 2026-07
- **Conditions:** PD - Parkinson's Disease
- **Interventions:** AR gait training
- **Intervention Types:** PROCEDURE

## Summary For Families

The goal is to see whether augmented reality stimulation can help people with Parkinson's improve proactive planning and rapid reactive adjustments while walking, which could reduce freezing and trips. The approach uses AR gait training that overlays visual cues and simulated obstacles in real time to prompt better step timing, stride length, and quick corrective steps, as a non-drug therapy meant to complement existing treatments like levodopa. Adults 20 years and older with a clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's can join, but people with leg musculoskeletal injuries, osteoporosis, or other peripheral or central nervous system diseases are excluded.

## Eligibility

- **Minimum age:** 20 Years
- **Sex:** ALL

### Full Criteria

```
