Study Summary

This trial is testing whether different types of movement cues can help people with Parkinson's disease move more normally, and whether brain mapping techniques can help understand how this works.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with Parkinson's disease, showing at least two main symptoms: tremor, stiffness or slow movement. Healthy adults without neurological diseases can also join. People with dementia, active hallucinations, psychosis or who cannot undergo MRI due to metal implants or claustrophobia are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study investigates how certain stimuli facilitate movement in Parkinson's patients by using brain mapping techniques like EEG and MRI during movement tasks. The goal is to understand the brain networks that improve motion which could lead to new treatments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive brain mapping rather than medication or invasive procedures, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort from wearing EEG equipment or staying still in an MRI machine.
