What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looks at how doing mental tasks—like naming objects or remembering words—changes the way people with Parkinson's disease walk. Researchers will compare 30 people with Parkinson's to healthy adults of the same age and sex. The goal is to find out which type of thinking has the biggest effect on walking, which could help design better treatments in the future.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could reveal which specific cognitive problems most affect walking in Parkinson's, guiding future therapies or rehabilitation strategies.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all people with Parkinson's. It does not test any treatment.
