To Evaluate the Dose-response Effects of a Defined Volume of Physical Exercise on the Change of Peripheral Biomarkers, Clinical Response and Brain Connectivity in Parkinson's Disease: a Prospective, Observational, Cohort Pilot Study

Sponsor: Casa di Cura San Raffaele Cassino

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This is a prospective, observational, cohort pilot study of standardize volume of aerobic exercise on changes in BDNF concentration at 4-weeks of exercise training among Parkinson disease patients. Thirty (N=30) participants will be consecutively enrolled and assigned to 2 groups: 1) Extensive Rehabilitation Group (exercise volume: 180 METs-min/week) or 2) Intensive Rehabilitation Group (exercise volume: 1350 METs-min/week). The primary objective is to evaluate the dose-response effects of two different rehabilitation settings, characterized by different workload (measured as energy expenditure), on blood BDNF levels.
