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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tested whether adding arm and hand exercises to leg exercises during high-intensity circuit training helps people with Parkinson's disease more than leg exercises alone. Sixty-four participants completed eight exercise classes. Researchers measured changes in reaction time, balance, walking speed, endurance, and quality of life. The goal is to find the best exercise approach to improve daily function.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
high-intensity circuit exercise classes
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a more effective exercise program for people with Parkinson's that improves both mobility and daily function.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 64 participants, so results may not apply to everyone with Parkinson's. Exercise benefits can vary widely, and the study does not test a drug or cure.

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.

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

Children (under 18), adults (18 to 64) and older adults (65 and over)

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

Inclusion Criteria: * diagnosis of Parkinson's disease * Hoehn and Yahr level of 1 to 3 * ability to walk independently with or without an assistive device * obtain medical clearance to participate in moderate or vigorous exercise. Exclusion Criteria: * diagnosis of any neurological disease other than PD (including but not limited to stroke, dementia, and multiple sclerosis; mild cognitive impairment is not excluded) * bone instability (non-consolidated fractures, unstable spinal column, severe osteoporosis) * muscle or ligament tears * uncontrolled hypertension * uncontrolled diabetes * severe cardiovascular disease that impairs walking or exercise * a major change in medication during the study training period (pre-test to post-test)
