Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of a 6-month telephone-based motivational interviewing intervention and a web-based application intervention to improve physical activity in participants with Parkinson's Disease.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants will be randomized into one of four groups to examine two separate interventions. The groups are: motivational interviewing (a counseling/coaching style), a web-based application for participants to keep track of their physical activity, a combination of the motivational interviewing and the web-based application, and an educational program on various issues related to Parkinson's Disease. The intervention will last 6 months with a follow-up appointment at 9 months. Participants will be asked to come to Galter Pavilion at Northwestern Memorial Hospital or Shirley Ryan AbilityLab a total of five times over the course of the nine months.

Caregivers Outcome Assessors
Participants will be aware which group they are assigned to. Study team members who will be providing assessments will be blinded to the condition the participant is in.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Motivational Interviewing

Participants will talk to a coach on the phone who will employ Motivational Interviewing as a coaching style.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Motivational Interviewing

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Motivational interviewing will consist of weekly phone calls for two months, bi-weekly phone calls for two months, and monthly phone calls for two months.

Web-Based Application

Participants will use a Web-Based Application to track their daily physical activity.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Web-based application

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Web-based application participants will be asked to log activity at least on a daily basis.

Combination MI and App

Participants will have both a coach by phone who will employ Motivational Interviewing as a coaching style and use a Web-Based Application to track their daily physical activity.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Motivational Interviewing

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Motivational interviewing will consist of weekly phone calls for two months, bi-weekly phone calls for two months, and monthly phone calls for two months.
