Shake or sync: two therapies put to the test for Parkinson's mobility
NCT ID NCT07723027
First seen Jul 23, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares two rehabilitation approaches for people with Parkinson's disease: whole-body vibration therapy and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) patterns combined with rhythmic-based training. The goal is to see which method better improves balance, walking speed, and overall motor function. The study includes 42 adults aged 40 to 60 with mild to moderate Parkinson's (Hoehn and Yahr stages 2 and 3) who can walk independently.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- whole-body vibration and rhythmic-based training
- What this could lead to
- If one approach proves more effective, it could offer a better, more tolerable rehabilitation option for people with Parkinson's, potentially improving mobility and quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 42 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The interventions are physical therapies, so benefits may be modest and adherence could vary.
