Parkinson's study: letting patients choose may boost motor learning
NCT ID NCT05960331
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether allowing people with Parkinson's disease to make choices during practice helps them learn new motor skills. Researchers will compare two groups: one that can choose when to receive feedback and one that cannot. The goal is to see if autonomy improves learning, motivation, and brain changes.
