Music Listening and Movement in PD Study

A new study identifying biomarkers of music listening and how they are related to movement is now starting at Iowa State University (ISU). To participate, you must be between 18-30 if you are a young adult or between 50-85 if you are an older adult or have Parkinson’s disease (PD), do not have any other neurological or musculoskeletal disorder, and you are on stable medications for the last 30 days. Participants will complete a series of movement tasks of the fingers, hand, arm, and foot, a sit to stand task, and a short walking task. You will also be asked to sit quietly with a sensor placed and an EEG headband on the forehead for 3-45 minutes. You will do these tasks in the rounds, once while listening to no sound, once while listening to your preferred music, and once while listening to white noise. This study requires one visit to the Alterrnative Medicine and Music for PD lab on the ISU campus and may take approximately 2 hours. Further screening for eligibility will occur during the first study visit. If you would like more information, please contact the AMMPD Lab at 515-294-5476.
