Study Summary
This trial explores how exercise can reduce inflammation in older adults and people with Parkinson's, which may slow the progression of the disease.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 30-85 with Parkinson's disease who can do 30 minutes of moderate exercise with short breaks, and healthy adults in the same age range. It excludes those with conditions like heart issues or uncontrolled blood pressure that prevent safe exercise, and those with dementia as indicated by a low score on a cognitive assessment.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study investigates how aerobic exercise might protect brain cells from dying in Parkinson's disease by reducing inflammation. Participants will engage in regular moderate aerobic exercises to see if this slows down the progression of their condition.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed, potential side effects may include typical risks associated with moderate physical activity such as muscle soreness, fatigue, joint pain, or exacerbation of pre-existing conditions.
