NCT ID NCT04340492
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a program that teaches people with early-stage Parkinson's disease how to add more physical activity into their daily lives. 89 participants either received the program or were placed on a waiting list. Researchers measured their daily moderate-to-vigorous activity with a device called an actimeter to see if the program helped them become more active.
