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 Results may not be published yet.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
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study tests a home-based dual-task training program for people with Parkinson's disease who have mild cognitive impairment and are at high risk for dementia. Participants will cycle on a stationary bike while playing brain-training games on a tablet, three times a week for 30 minutes. The goal is to see if this combined physical and mental exercise can prevent worsening in everyday activities like managing finances or medication. The study will follow 42 participants for 12 months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
dual-task cognitive motor training (cycling plus tablet-based cognitive games)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a practical home-based therapy to help Parkinson's patients with mild cognitive impairment maintain their independence longer.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early proof-of-concept study with only 42 participants, so results may not apply widely. The training requires motivation and reliable internet, which may limit real-world use.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 42 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Mar 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Aug 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.
