About this study

Official title: Acute Effects of Cycling Dual-task on Cognitive and Physical Function in Parkinson´s Disease: a Cross-sectional Study.

Taking into account the process of functional and cognitive evolution that patients with Parkinson's disease experience throughout the pathology, the objective of this study is to evaluate the acute effects of aerobic exercise in forced cycling performed with lower limbs and freecycling of upper limbs combined with cognitive stimuli on attention, exploration skills, and short-term motor skills in people with Parkinson's disease.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Cycling combined with cognitive tasksOther

    Also called Cycling dual task

    A 30-minute session of Forced Cycling aerobic exercise performed with lower limbs and free active cycling performed with upper limbs combined with cognitive stimuli. An intelligent cycle ergometer (Motomed Viva 2 Parkinson) will be used, at a reserve heart rate of 55-70% (Borg scale 12-14) during the active part. The forced cycling program will consist of a 6-minute passive warm-up part (40-60 RPM), a 20-minute active part (90 RPM), and a 4-minute passive cool down (40 RPM). The cognitive task will be a PowerPoint presentation structured in a way that is consistent with the phases of the cycling program. The passive phases (6 minutes of warm-up and 4 minutes of passive cycling back to cool down), images of the nearby environment will be played. For the active phase (20 minutes of assisted active cycling) the PowerPoint presentation will be structured with tasks related to: orientation, memory, calculation, language, similarities.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change from baseline Symbol Digit Modalities Test at 30 minutes

    Detection of cognitive dysfuntions.

    Measured: Pre and up to 30 minutes.

  2. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)

    To detect and estimate cognitive decline and dementia.

    Measured: Pre

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Borg Rated Perceived Exertion Scale

    Perceived exertion. These include a rating of 6 perceiving "no exertion at all" to 20 perceiving a "maximal exertion" of effort.

    Measured: Up to 30 minutes.

  2. Change from baseline Heart Rate at 30 minutes

    Heart rate

    Measured: Pre and up to 30 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cycling combined with cognitive tasks and Cycling in people with Parkinson Disease, run by University of Vigo at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline Symbol Digit Modalities Test at 30 minutes (time frame: Pre and up to 30 minutes.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05375032, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Apr 2025.
