Vibrating platform may improve balance and thinking in Parkinson's
NCT ID NCT07678983
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026
Summary
This study investigates whether whole-body vibration (WBV) therapy, added to standard exercise, can improve balance, walking, thinking, and the ability to do two things at once in people with Parkinson's disease. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either low-frequency or medium-frequency WBV during supervised exercise sessions twice a week for eight weeks. The goal is to see if different vibration frequencies offer different benefits for movement and cognition.
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 (WBV) therapy
What this could lead to
If effective, WBV could become a simple, drug-free way to help people with Parkinson's move better and think more clearly during daily tasks.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with 66 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The benefits, if any, might be modest and not outweigh the effort of twice-weekly sessions.
