Beat the shuffle: can a simple rhythm improve walking in Parkinson's?

NCT ID NCT05763732

First seen May 14, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether listening to a steady beat (like a metronome) can improve walking in people with Parkinson's disease who have a brain implant (deep brain stimulation). Ten participants will walk while the beat plays, and researchers will measure their walking speed, step length, and brain activity. The goal is to understand how rhythm affects movement, not to test a new treatment.
