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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study looked at 80 people with Parkinson's to see if there is a link between how much their trunk sways and how well they can use their hands. Researchers used a motion sensor to measure trunk sway and a pegboard test to measure hand dexterity. The goal is to understand if better trunk control might help with fine hand movements.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If the link is confirmed, it could help design better physical therapy that targets trunk stability to improve hand function in Parkinson's.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study, not a treatment trial. It only measures relationships, so it cannot prove that improving trunk sway will improve hand skills.

Inclusion Criteria: * Healthy individuals aged 40-75 years, diagnosed with idiopathic PD according to the UK Parkinson's Disease Association Brain Bank criteria by a specialist neurologist, with a Modified Hoehn \& Yahr (m-HY) scale stage ≤4, and with a Mini Mental State Examination score of ≥22 for those with training and ≥18 for those without training, and with no known disease, volunteered to participate in the study. * Individuals with no other known neurological and/or systemic disease * Individuals without any upper extremity contractures Exclusion Criteria: * Individuals with severe balance and walking difficulties * Individuals with diagnosed and/or treated psychiatric illnesses who are considered unable to complete the required tests * Those taking neuroleptic medications or antidepressants * Individuals with orthopedic conditions that interfere with manual dexterity tests, such as severe dyskinesia, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendon injuries, or finger amputations; rheumatological diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis; and individuals with any neurological disease other than PD
