Recruiting studies
- 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 - NCT07519096Recruiting
Home-Based Fall Prevention Program for Parkinson's Disease
This study tests a fall prevention program designed for people with Parkinson's disease and their care partners. It aims to help reduce falls and improve balance and safety at home.
Beachwood, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07400731Recruiting
Ear stimulation for Parkinson's symptoms
This study tests whether a device that stimulates the ear can improve Parkinson's symptoms during 'off' periods, when medication wears off. It compares how you feel before and after ear stimulation.
IstanbulAges 44 years+ - NCT07193355Recruiting
Motor imagery training for Parkinson's disease
This trial tests if thinking about movements (motor imagery) can help improve hand function in people with Parkinson's disease. It may offer a non-drug way to manage symptoms.
Kahramanmaraş, OnikişubatAges 40–75 - NCT07193303Recruiting
Mental imagery for arm and hand skills in Parkinson's
This study tests if mental imagery exercises can help improve upper body movement in people with Parkinson's disease. It may offer a safe, drug-free way to practice daily tasks.
Kahramanmaraş, OnikişubatAges 40–75 - NCT05893186RecruitingEarly Phase 1
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 - NCT05826457Enrolling by invitation
Study for early RBD as a possible Parkinson’s risk
This study looks at people with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), confirmed by a sleep test, who may be in the early “prodromal” stage before Parkinson’s or related diseases. It also enrolls healthy controls to compare results from brain and body testing to better understand who is at risk.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04071847Recruiting
Study tracking results after Abbott deep brain stimulator surgery
This study follows people who are getting a new Abbott deep brain stimulator (DBS) device or replacing the battery/implantable pulse generator to see how outcomes change over time. It mainly applies to certain DBS targets and diagnoses, and it uses follow-up visits to track results.
Tucson, ArizonaAges Any age - NCT02119611Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s, dystonia, or tremor
This study tests deep brain stimulation (DBS), a therapy that sends electrical signals to the brain, for movement problems like Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, and essential tremor. It may help people whose symptoms are not controlled enough with medications, or who already have a DBS device and need ongoing management.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT06733077Recruiting
Digital services for Parkinson's disease
This study is developing digital services for people with Parkinson's disease and also includes healthy volunteers. It aims to understand movement problems like freezing of gait and festination, and uses a virtual reality system to measure these issues.
ExeterAges 18 years+ - NCT07213219Recruiting
PET-MRI scan for Parkinson's with sleep behavior disorder
This trial uses a combined PET and MRI scan to study the brain's reward system in people with Parkinson's disease who also have REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD). It aims to understand how the brain changes and may help guide future treatments.
Clermont-FerrandAges 45–80 - NCT07142044RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing EC5026 for Parkinson's disease
This study tests a new oral medication called EC5026 for Parkinson's disease. It aims to see if the drug is safe and if it might help control symptoms when added to your current levodopa treatment.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 50–80 - NCT06920134Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for blood pressure in Parkinson's disease
This trial tests if electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can help manage blood pressure drops (orthostatic hypotension) in people with Parkinson's and related conditions. It might make daily activities like standing and walking easier.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18–90 - NCT06899022Recruiting
Attention and eye movement in Parkinson's disease
This study looks at how attention and eye movements work in people with Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, or dystonia. It tests abilities during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery and when DBS settings are changed.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 19–90 - NCT05070013Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve sleep in people with Parkinson’s disease
This study tests an adaptive brain stimulation device to help restore better sleep in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may be eligible if your Parkinson’s motor symptoms are severe despite best medical treatment and you are already being considered for a specific deep brain stimulation surgery.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 18–80 - NCT02795052Recruiting
Stem cell treatment trial for nerve injury
This study tests whether bone-marrow stem cells can improve nerve function in people with nerve damage that usually doesn’t recover with current care. It also checks whether the treatment is safe and whether people can be followed over time with repeated nerve exams.
Westport, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05769699Recruiting
Blood test study for Parkinson’s stages
This study measures blood biomarkers (measurable substances in blood) in people with Parkinson’s at different stages. It may help doctors understand how Parkinson’s changes over time and could guide future testing or treatments.
RomaAges 18–80 - NCT06090682Recruiting
Brain stimulation for Parkinson's with thinking problems
This trial tests a brain stimulation technique (deep brain stimulation) to see if it can help people with Parkinson's disease who also have mild cognitive problems. The goal is to understand how stimulation affects both movement and thinking.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges Up to 75 years - NCT06570421Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for Parkinson's and essential tremor
This study tests a non-invasive nerve stimulation device for reducing tremors in people with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor. It follows up participants from a previous trial to see if benefits last up to 24 months.
OstravaAges 18 years+ - NCT07156773RecruitingPhase 2
Nasal spray for Parkinson's off episodes
This study tests a new nasal spray called XJN010 for people with Parkinson's who have 'off' episodes—times when their regular medication wears off and symptoms come back. The goal is to see if the spray can safely and effectively help during those periods.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 30–85 - NCT07097298Recruiting
Empathy and compassion study for Parkinson's patients and caregivers
This study explores empathy and self-compassion in people with Parkinson's disease and their caregivers. If you have mild to moderate Parkinson's and a caregiver at home, you and your caregiver may join together to help researchers understand how to better support both of you.
LuganoAges 50–80 - NCT06588920Recruiting
Brain activity, thinking, and walking study for Parkinson's
This study looks at how brain activity relates to thinking and walking in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help understand the connections between these functions.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 496 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.
