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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looked at how different types of exercise change brain activity in 15 people with Parkinson's disease who have a brain pacemaker (deep brain stimulation). Participants cycled while off their medication, and researchers measured brain signals and movement skills. The goal was to understand why exercise helps improve motor function in Parkinson's.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

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

15 people

The number who actually took part.

Started

Aug 2023

Finished

Sep 2024

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.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adult with a diagnosis of PD by a movement disorders neurologist 2. Previous placement, at least six months, of bilateral Medtronic Precept DBS as standard of care treatment for their PD. 3. Stable and clinically optimized DBS parameters for three months prior to enrollment. 4. Demonstrate the ability to safely mount and dismount a recumbent exercise cycle with an upright back. 5. Willingness to withhold antiparkinsonian medication and DBS stimulation. 6. Exercise clearance using the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Pre-participation Health Screen: a. If the ACSM screen recommends medical clearance, the subject must obtain medical clearance by their health care provider prior to participation; b. Those who choose not to obtain physician clearance will not be eligible for participation. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Diagnosis of dementia or any neurocognitive impairment that compromises the ability to provide informed consent. 2. A musculoskeletal issue that limits one's ability to cycle 3. Neurological disease other than Parkinson's disease (i.e. multiple sclerosis, stroke) that impacts motor or cognitive function 4. Uncontrolled cardiovascular risk factor such as a current cardiac arrhythmia, uncontrolled hypertension, untreated deep vein thrombosis, etc.
