Moving Mindfully for Freezing of Gait
Moving Mindfully: A MBSR-Centered Approach to Freezing in Parkinson Disease - Randomized Control Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 17 Jun 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The investigators will conduct an randomized controlled trial (RCT) among people with Parkinson disease (PD) and freezing of gait (FOG) to evaluate the feasibility of a mindfulness intervention compared to a educational program about FOG. FOG is a severe motor disturbance that prevents people from stepping normally and is associated with anxiety, frustration, sedentary behaviors, poorer quality of life, and falls. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an evidence-based practice that creates a culture to reduce stress and anxiety by increasing conscious awareness and self-compassion. In this study, the investigators will develop a mindfulness-based walking intervention to address both mental health and mobility challenges that constitute FOG.
