In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The aim of this pilot study is to assess whether an online Mediterranean diet programme called MediPD is acceptable and practical for people living with Parkinson's disease, and whether it can help them make and maintain changes towards a Mediterranean-style diet. The study will include 120 adults living in the United Kingdom with Parkinson's disease who have access to an internet-enabled device and currently have low adherence to a Mediterranean-style diet. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive access to the MediPD online programme, which includes short educational videos, personalised dietary information, practical resources, goal-setting tools, and online dietetic support. The other group will continue with their usual care and will receive access to MediPD after completing the final study assessment. Researchers will compare the groups
