About this study

Official title: Adapting High-Intensity Exercise and Sleep Monitoring Technology for Home Use in Parkinson's Disease

Exercise is a primary intervention for symptom management in Parkinson's Disease (PD). However, challenges related to transportation, mobility, and socioeconomic factors often hinder consistent participation in exercise programs. To promote increased access and participation, remote exercise programs offer a promising solution.

The investigators previously showed that laboratory-based, high-intensity resistance exercise improves sleep efficiency in individuals with PD in a randomized, controlled, clinical trial. The investigators aim to adapt this protocol for remote delivery and to evaluate the usability of a remote sleep-monitoring device in people with Parkinson's Disease (PwP). Guided by the IDEAS framework for digital health intervention design, the investigators will modify the exercise protocol to ensure safety, accessibility, and fidelity in a home setting. Specific aims include: (1) assessing the adaptability of the HIRE protocol for remote implementation through participant acceptability ratings, adherence, exertion levels, and safety outcomes, (2) evaluating the usability of the Waveband sleep monitoring headband and adherence to night wear schedules, and 3) gather qualitative feedback through semi-structured interviews to understand participant perspectives on protocol design, session completion, and safety.

By integrating behavioral theory, participant engagement, and real-world constraints, this research will inform scalable, home-based interventions that are both effective and responsive to the lived experiences of PwP. The findings will lay the groundwork for future clinical trials and broader dissemination of remote therapeutic strategies in neurodegenerative care.

What participants receive

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

  • High Intensity Resistance ExerciseBehavioural

    5 upper and lower extremity resistance exercises for 10 repetitions for 3 sets; with additional body weight exercises in between sets

Receives: Behavioral: High Intensity Resistance Exercise

What is being measured

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

  1. Acceptability Survey

    Participants will complete an acceptability survey after the completion of the exercise intervention

    Measured: Post intervention: Within one week after completion of the 3 exercise intervention

  2. Semi Structured Interviews

    Participants will complete semi-structured interviews with a qualitative expert and focus on safety, barriers/facilitators, exercises, protocols, and additional questions.

    Measured: Post Intervention: Within one week after completion of the 3 exercise intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High Intensity Resistance Exercise in people with PARKINSON DISEASE (Disorder), run by University of Colorado, Denver at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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 5 Nov 2026. 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 United States. 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?

Acceptability Survey (time frame: Post intervention: Within one week after completion of the 3 exercise intervention). 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?
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 5 Nov 2026.
