We investigate the dynamics of neutral test particles revolving around a non-rotating black hole immersed in dark matter DM. We derive exact solutions for the radial profiles of specific angular momentum and energy for equatorial stable circular orbits as a function of the parameters of the black hole. Using the effective potential approach, we explore the stability of these circular orbits and the effective force acting on particles in the presence of dark matter. Additionally, we examine the impact of dark matter on the innermost stable circular orbits. By numerically integrating the equations of motion, we plot the trajectories of particles around the black hole and analyze how dark matter affects these trajectories. We also calculate the analytical frequencies of radial and latitudinal harmonic oscillations as functions of the dark matter parameter for both local and distant observers. We compare these results with scenarios where dark matter is absent. Furthermore, we study the effects of dark matter on periastron precession. We present an analysis of the constraints on the dark matter and black hole mass parameters using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. Our study focuses on QPOs observed in X-ray binaries, in particular, the microquasars GRO J1655-40 and XTE J1550-564, and the centers of the galaxies M82 X-1 and Sgr A⁎. We also analyze the particle collisions, discussing the center-of-mass energy of the colliding particles. Our observations reveal that the motion of particles revolving around the black hole is significantly affected by varying the model parameters.
