NCT ID NCT07378722
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding personalized music therapy to standard physical therapy can improve walking and balance in people with Parkinson's disease. About 50 participants will receive either physical therapy alone or physical therapy plus rhythmic music cues for 8 weeks. The goal is to see if music can help reduce freezing episodes and make movement smoother.
