This study uses online tasks to look at how people with Parkinson’s control reaching movements. You may benefit by contributing to research that could improve understanding and future treatments for movement problems.
Newark, DelawareAges 18–85 - NCT04715984Recruiting
Testing brain-circuit targets during DBS surgery in Parkinson’s
This study looks at how brain connections involved in movement may relate to thinking and memory problems in Parkinson’s disease. It happens during a deep brain stimulation (DBS) operation, using tests while the surgeon is placing an electrode.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 40 years+ - NCT06390761Recruiting
Acupuncture for constipation in Parkinson's disease
This trial tests whether acupuncture can help relieve constipation in people with Parkinson's disease. If you have both Parkinson's and constipation that is not caused by another medical condition, this study may offer a non-drug treatment option.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 35–80 - NCT06772220Recruiting
Homocysteine management for Parkinson's patients on levodopa
This trial tests whether controlling homocysteine levels can help people with Parkinson's disease who are taking levodopa. You may qualify if you take at least 300 mg of levodopa per day, are between 40 and 90 years old, and have no major kidney problems or uncontrolled high blood pressure.
Portland, OregonAges 40–90 - NCT07058285Recruiting
Exercise program for better walking in Parkinson's
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can help people with Parkinson's disease walk better and feel steadier. If you are in the early-to-moderate stages and have some walking issues, you may be able to join.
KielAges Any age - NCT07316296RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a drug to reduce freezing of gait in Parkinson's
This trial tests whether atomoxetine, a drug that boosts a brain chemical called noradrenaline, can help reduce freezing of gait—a feeling of your feet being stuck to the ground—in people with Parkinson's disease. You would continue your usual Parkinson's medications during the study and undergo walking tests and brain scans to see if the drug helps.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT07096336Recruiting
Vitamin D3 and brain waves in Parkinson's study
This study tests whether taking vitamin D3 can improve brain wave patterns in men with Parkinson's disease who have low vitamin D levels. It may help understand if vitamin D supports brain health.
Dhaka, ShahbagAges 51–70 - NCT06803784Recruiting
Bioproducts in body fluids for early brain disease detection
This study is looking for proteins in blood and other body fluids that could help detect brain diseases like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and ALS early. It aims to improve diagnosis and future treatments.
Pozzilli, ItalyAges 20 years+ - NCT01799915Recruiting
Study of causes and progression of synuclein-related nerve conditions
This study follows people over time to better understand “synucleinopathies,” which are conditions that affect the nervous system as it develops and progresses. You may be asked to return for visits and report symptoms, especially those that happen when you stand up.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06745011Enrolling by invitation
Parkinson's signs in people with nerve damage
This study looks for early signs of Parkinson's disease in people who have nerve damage in their hands and feet (polyneuropathy) with no known cause, along with drops in blood pressure when standing up. It aims to understand if these early symptoms might predict future Parkinson's.
Aarhus, JutlandAges 18–85 - NCT07193303Recruiting

Testing DBS settings for walking and balance in Parkinson’s
This early-phase study looks at whether adjusting deep brain stimulation (DBS) can improve posture, walking, and balance in people with Parkinson’s disease. If you already have DBS in place, the trial uses computer-based planning to try different DBS directions and settings to see what helps you most.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–89 - NCT07193355Recruiting

- Are there clinical trials for parkinson disease (disorder)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 497 recruiting parkinson disease (disorder) studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a parkinson disease (disorder) trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a parkinson disease (disorder) trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
