NCT ID NCT07540325

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at how doing mental tasks—like naming objects or remembering words—changes the way people with Parkinson's disease walk. Researchers will compare 30 people with Parkinson's to healthy adults of the same age and sex. The goal is to find out which type of thinking has the biggest effect on walking, which could help design better treatments in the future.

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could reveal which specific cognitive problems most affect walking in Parkinson's, guiding future therapies or rehabilitation strategies.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early observational study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all people with Parkinson's. It does not test any treatment.
