NCT ID NCT07424924
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how balance problems, walking difficulties, physical activity, and sleep quality are related in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers will compare 34 Parkinson's patients to healthy adults of similar age to see which issues are due to Parkinson's and which are part of normal aging. The goal is to better understand how these symptoms interact, which could help improve treatment strategies.
