Parkinson Disease and Exercise Snacks
Exercise Snacks for People With Parkinson Disease: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 15 Apr 2025 · Not updated for over 12 months - ask the site whether it is still open
Brief summary (registry, in English)
People with Parkinson's Disease (PD) benefit from exercise, but many face barriers like motor disability, fatigue, and lack of time, leading to reduced activity. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of "exercise snacks," short bursts of vigorous activity that can be done anywhere without equipment or a significant time commitment. These exercise snacks help integrate activity into daily life, making it more accessible for people with PD. The secondary goal is to evaluate the feasibility of this approach through this pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) to inform a larger, future RCT.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Have a scheduled event (e.g. medical or surgical procedure, prolonged travel in the next 3-4 months) that would interrupt participation in the study.
Other illness
- Comorbid condition with physical disability preventing participation in exercise (i.e., that cannot be accommodated with modifications to the prescribed exercise).
Other
- A score of \>=4 on the modified Hoehn \& Yahr scale (meaning they may be able to stand or walk but are not physically independent; this typically includes a need for gait aids such as a cane or walker)
- No access to reliable internet connection.
- Are currently participating in another clinical trial that would interfere with the study procedures described.
Who the study is looking for
- Adults (19 years of age or older) with Clinically Established PD (Postuma et al., 2015).
- Medically cleared to exercise by their physician.
- A score of ≤3 on the modified Hoehn \& Yahr scale (i.e. physically independent, may have unilateral or bilateral clinical signs, including mild impairment of postural reflexes).
- Have access to a computer, tablet, or smartphone with internet connection for intervention delivery and tracking.
