You are Needed in a Key Parkinson's Study at UAB

Jun 5, 2023
1 min read

The UAB Department of Physical Therapy is in Phase 3 of a Clinical Trial that studies exercise in Parkinson called SPARX3. They are seeking volunteers to participate to determine how the effects of aerobic exercise on people with Parkinson’s could benefit the delay in disease progression.


SPARX3 is a research study to learn more about the effects of aerobic exercise on people with Parkinson’s disease who have not yet started medication for their PD. It will compare the effects of moderate intensity treadmill exercise to high intensity treadmill exercise on the signs and symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.


Participants will receive information regarding their health status at no cost. This may include:

  • Physical Examination

  • Blood Test

  • Fitness Test

  • Exercise Prescription

You may be eligible to participate if you:

  • Have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease within the last 3 years and are not taking medication for your PD symptoms

  • You do not plan to start medication for PD within the next 6 months

  • Are willing to take part in a regular treadmill exercise program four times per week for 18 months and participate in study visits periodically for 24 months

  • You are 40-80 years old

  • You are not already participating in a structured exercise program

This study is funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. The principle investigator for this study is Christopher Hurt, Ph.D. Participants are being recruited under study number IRB-300007184.


To participate, call or email Sarah Bruton at 1.205.975.1008, sbruton@uab.edu

Parkinson’s disease is such a difficult condition, and when my husband was diagnosed, it was heartbreaking for our whole family. Watching someone you love face the challenges of Parkinson’s is never easy, and we wanted to find additional support for him.Our family doctor recommended that we look into NaturePath Clinic, so we decided to learn more about their herbal program. From the beginning, we appreciated the care, kindness, and support we received throughout the process.I’m sharing our experience because I know how difficult it can be to find support when someone you love is living with Parkinson’s. Every family’s experience is different, but we are grateful for the encouragement and support NaturePath Clinic has provided to our family. ❤️

Good Morning!! My name is Justin Simporios from Canada. My daughter was unable to walk for several months after an accident that required her to have surgery. Because I haven't won the Lotto I've been playing for so long, I haven't been able to pay for the surgery. A friend online recommended Lord Meduza to me and he deserves a really, really big THANK YOU. This man chose to help me with a lottery spell and he gave me the precise numbers to play the Canada Lotto Max Lottery. After two weeks, I was proclaimed the winner of $80 MILLION DOLLARS. Now, my daughter will be able to walk once more after so much time as her surgery is now…

   I battled Multiple Sclerosis for 6 years, trying countless conventional treatments without success. My younger brother also suffered from Parkinson’s disease for 9 years. Doctors told us there was no cure for either condition. Everything changed when we discovered Dr. Madida Sam through www.earthcureherbalclinic.com. With the help of Dr. Sam, his team, and co-doctors, both my MS and my brother’s Parkinson’s symptoms were completely reversed and cured. We are truly grateful to EarthCure Herbal Clinic for giving us our lives back.

When my husband was diagnosed with dementia four years ago, it was heartbreaking to watch his memory fade and his independence slip away. For over two years, he was on conventional medications, but his symptoms only got worse he became more forgetful, confused, and dependent.Out of desperation and hope, we decided to try a herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Honestly, we were skeptical at first, but within a few months, the changes were remarkable. His clarity improved, he became more alert, and gradually regained confidence and calm.It’s been a life-changing experience not just for him, but for our whole family. If your loved one is struggling with dementia, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach. Visit www.naturepathherbalclinic.com.
