NCT ID NCT07478146
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a 12-week supervised aerobic exercise program can improve brain blood flow, thinking skills, and walking in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers will compare 40 participants who either do the exercise program or continue their usual care. The goal is to see if exercise can ease symptoms and improve quality of life.
