BIG for Life: a Pilot Study
NCT04090476 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This research study will aim to evaluate BIG for LIFE as a group exercise program, and determine whether three time a week exercise sessions with heart rate monitoring is beneficial to maintain or improve physical function, cognitive function, and quality of life over a period of 8 weeks (pre/post testing and 24 visits). The specific objective of this study is to investigate the impact of this exercise group (BIG for LIFE) on motor functions (i.e. balance, gait, strength, balance confidence) and quality of life functions (sleep, depression, activities of daily living) The investigators will test the following hypotheses: 1. that participation in this community-based exercise group will improve mobility level and balance confidence 2. that participation in this group will increase performance of activities of daily living as measured by self-assessment 3. that participation in this group will increase quality of life, cognition, sleep, or depression measures 4. that providing real time heart rate feedback in this group setting will increase the amount of time spent exercising in the target heart rate zone

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04090476
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04090476 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 10 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is State University of New York - Upstate Medical University, which has 50 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Parkinson Disease appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Exercise is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04090476 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include New York. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
