Effects of Dual-Task Training on Upper Extremity Function in Parkinson's Disease
Summary
NIH has registered a clinical trial (NCT07536542) on ClinicalTrials.gov to study the effects of dual-task training on upper extremity function and muscle thickness in individuals with Parkinson's disease. The randomized controlled trial will enroll approximately 60 participants who will be assigned to either an 8-week dual-task training group (3 days per week) or a control group receiving routine care. Researchers will assess upper extremity function, grip strength, pinch strength, and muscle thickness via ultrasonography at baseline and post-intervention.
What changed
NIH registered a new clinical trial (NCT07536542) on ClinicalTrials.gov investigating whether 8 weeks of dual-task training improves upper extremity function and muscle thickness in individuals with Parkinson's disease compared to routine care. The trial will enroll approximately 60 participants assigned to either the intervention group (dual-task training 3 days/week) or a control group.
For research institutions and clinical investigators, this represents a new clinical trial registration in the Parkinson's disease space. The study measures grip strength, pinch strength, and muscle thickness via ultrasonography. This registry entry does not create compliance obligations but documents an ongoing research activity subject to FDA clinical trial registration requirements.

Effects of Dual-Task Training on Upper Extremity Function in Parkinson's Disease
N/A NCT07536542 Kind: NA Apr 17, 2026
Abstract
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of dual-task training on upper extremity function and muscle thickness in individuals with Parkinson's disease. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does dual-task training improve upper extremity function in individuals with Parkinson's disease? Does dual-task training lead to changes in upper extremity muscle thickness measured by ultrasonography?
Researchers will compare a dual-task training group with a control group receiving routine care to determine whether 8 weeks of dual-task training results in greater improvements in upper extremity outco
Participants will:
complete baseline and post-intervention assessments of upper extremity function, muscle thickness, grip strength, and pinch strength be assigned to either a control group or a dual-task training group receive dual-task training 3 days per week for 8 weeks if assigned to the intervention group
Conditions: Parkinson Disease (PD)
Interventions: Dual-Task Training
