Gut nerve cell biomarkers study for Parkinson’s risk
This trial studies nerve cell “biomarkers” from the gut to learn whether they can help detect Parkinson’s disease (or related conditions) earlier. You may be asked to undergo a colonoscopy to collect gut tissue for testing.
New York, New YorkAges 45–75 - NCT06928519Recruiting
Entacapone with Madopar for early Parkinson's
This study tests whether adding entacapone to Madopar (a common Parkinson's medication) safely improves symptoms in people with early-stage Parkinson's. It aims to see if the combination works better than Madopar alone.
Nanning, GuanxiAges 18–80 - NCT07207057RecruitingPhase 3
Platform trial testing multiple drugs for Parkinson's disease
This trial tests several experimental drugs at once to find new treatments for Parkinson's disease. If you have Parkinson's and take medication, you may be able to join and help speed up research.
LondonAges 30 years+ - NCT00575081Recruiting
Brain mapping during stereotactic procedures
This study builds a “brain atlas” by collecting information during stereotactic brain procedures. It may help doctors better plan and understand these brain procedures in the future.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 6–90 - NCT05721911Recruiting
Study using brain-cell tests to better understand Parkinson’s risk
This study collects blood and related samples to create a “biobank” and uses lab tests to study genetic risk in Parkinson’s disease and idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD). It may help researchers understand why symptoms develop and improve future prevention or treatment approaches.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06799923Recruiting
MRI-guided laser therapy for hard-to-treat tremor
This trial tests a new, less invasive treatment for severe tremor that hasn't responded to medication. It uses a laser guided by MRI to carefully target and treat the brain area causing tremor, as an alternative to traditional brain surgery.
SalouëlAges 18 years+ - NCT04706234Recruiting
Check swallowing and voice function in neurodegenerative diseases
This study looks at how well the throat and voice-related functions work in people with certain long-term brain or nerve conditions. It uses a specific throat exam during FEES to better understand swallowing and laryngopharyngeal (throat-area) function.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18 years+ - NCT07222605Enrolling by invitation
MemorEM device study for brain diseases
This study tests a device called MemorEM to see how it works for people with brain diseases that cause memory and thinking problems (like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS). It aims to understand your experience with the device.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 45–100 - NCT07488351Recruiting
Self-kindness and confidence in Parkinson's: symptoms, function, quality of life
This study looks at how self-compassion and self-belief affect symptoms, daily function, and quality of life in people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to help researchers understand how emotional well-being relates to physical health.
Istanbul, TurkeyAges 40–85 - NCT07083089Recruiting
Hearing and thinking in early Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
This trial studies how hearing relates to early memory and movement problems in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. It may help find new ways to detect and track these conditions.
MontpellierAges 50–85 - NCT06949865Recruiting
AI-enhanced levodopa challenge test for parkinsonism
This study uses artificial intelligence (AI) to improve a standard test for parkinsonism called the levodopa challenge test. It may help doctors better understand how your movement symptoms respond to levodopa, a common Parkinson's medication.
BeijingAges 50–75 - NCT07698236Enrolling by invitation
Temporal interference brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease
This trial tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation method called temporal interference to see if it can improve symptoms of Parkinson's disease. It is for people aged 40 to 80 who are on stable Parkinson's medications and have mild to moderate symptoms.
ShanghaiAges 40–80 - NCT05934188Recruiting
Study how gut signals relate to brain aging and diseases

- 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.
