Study Summary

This trial will assess the impact of home-based physical and cognitive exercise interventions to reduce pain in Parkinson's disease, which is often disabling and untreated.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals with Parkinson's Disease who experience chronic pain. Participants must have a physician's diagnosis of idiopathic PD, show at least two key symptoms (resting tremor, rigidity, or slow movement), and respond to medication that increases dopamine. It excludes those with recent heart issues like angina or myocardial infarction within the last six months.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests home-based physical and cognitive exercises along with health education as interventions to reduce pain in Parkinson's patients using telemedicine. This could help veterans maintain these practices indefinitely through remote access technology.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While specific side effects are not detailed here, typical risks may include muscle soreness from physical exercise and mental fatigue from cognitive tasks; however, these activities are generally considered safe.
