Developing Immersive Gamification Technology Systems For The Rehabilitation Management Of Adults With Parkinson's Disease (Phase 1 Trial)
Philippines30 participantsStarted 2026-02-01
Plain-language summary
This clinical trial aims to develop and test a prototype immersive gamification technology system (ImGTS) among healthy volunteers and to determine its acceptability, safety, and usability in a healthy population. The main question it aims to answer is:
Does ImGTS provide an acceptable, safe, and usable therapeutic modality for patients with Parkinson's Disease? Researchers will compare a head-mounted display (HMD) system and a semi cave automatic virtual environment (semi-CAVE) system to see if they are acceptable, safe, and usable as therapy for PD.
Participants will be will undergoing their assigned ImGTS intervention for four sessions (twice a week for two weeks) supervised by a trained therapist. Afterwards, they will be interviewed based on specific questionnaires used to check for acceptability, safety, and usability.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial is focused on testing whether a virtual reality and augmented reality gaming system is safe and comfortable to use for people with Parkinson's — not yet on whether it actually improves symptoms — so would participating in this early-stage study give me any direct treatment benefit, or is it mainly about helping researchers understand if the technology works without causing side effects like dizziness or nausea?
2Since one of the main things being measured is 'VR sickness' and 'AR sickness,' am I at higher risk of those kinds of side effects given my current stage of Parkinson's, my balance issues, or any medications I'm taking?
3The trial hasn't started recruiting yet — given where I am in my Parkinson's progression right now, do you think it would make more sense to focus on established rehabilitation options first, and then revisit this study once it opens?
4How demanding would this kind of VR and AR technology intervention likely be on me physically and cognitively, and do you think my current symptoms would make it difficult to participate safely or comfortably?
5If this trial does eventually open and I enroll, would it affect or interrupt my current treatment plan or any therapies I'm already doing for my Parkinson's?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
