Study Summary

Identification of an effective disease-modifying intervention (e.g. pharmaceutical, surgical or behavioral) is an unmet need in Parkinson's disease (PD). Increasing evidence indicates high intensity aerobic exercise is a candidate to alter PD progression. The primary aim of this study is to examine the disease-altering capabilities of a long-term, high-intensity aerobic exercise intervention. A multi-site pragmatic randomized controlled trial design has been selected. Individuals with PD will be randomized into 1) a home-based aerobic exercise program, or 2) a usual and customary care (UCC). Subjects in the home exercise group will receive an indoor stationary bicycle delivered to their home for a 12 month exercise period. Individuals in the UCC group will continue their current level of physical activity. Motor and non-motor assessments will be conducted at the main campus of the Cleveland Clinic or the University of Utah at enrollment, 6 months, and 12 months. Each assessment will last approximately one hour.

Primary Outcome

Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III: Motor Examination score, measured off medication. Range of scores is 0 to 132, with lower score indicating better motor function.

Interventions

  • OTHER High-Intensity Aerobic Exercise (AE)
  • OTHER Usual and Customary Care (UCC)
