Swimming toward relief: water therapy tested for Parkinson's symptoms
NCT ID NCT07390825
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether supervised pool exercises (aquatic therapy) can improve daily activities, walking, balance, posture, pain, and mood in people with Parkinson's disease. 42 participants will either do home exercises alone or add three 45-minute pool sessions per week for six weeks. The goal is to see if the water-based program leads to meaningful improvements in quality of life and movement.
