Recruiting studies
- NCT06485986Recruiting
Brain Networks in Parkinson's and DBS
This study uses a brain scan called MEG to look at how Parkinson's disease and impulse control disorders affect brain networks in people who have already had deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. You will be asked to delay your morning medication so the researchers can study your brain without the effects of the drugs.
OxfordAges 18 years+ - NCT06498349Recruiting
DBS for Parkinson's impulse control problems
This trial tests whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus can help control impulse control problems (like gambling, overeating, or shopping) in people with Parkinson's disease. It is for patients whose medication-related impulse symptoms are moderate to severe and who are good candidates for DBS surgery.
CologneAges 18–70 - NCT06508801Recruiting
Blood flow restriction to improve balance in Parkinson's
This study tests whether gently restricting blood flow to your legs during exercise can help improve balance for people with Parkinson's disease. You will do simple leg exercises while wearing a special cuff, which may strengthen muscles and improve steadiness.

Skin protein study for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and related disorders
This study looks at the skin of people with memory or movement disorders (like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS) to find proteins that may help diagnose these conditions. If you have one of these diseases or are a healthy older adult, you may be able to join by giving a small skin sample.
San Luis Potosí CityAges 45 years+ - NCT06582121Recruiting
Sleep disorders in early and advanced Parkinson's disease
This study looks at sleep problems in people with Parkinson's disease, people with REM sleep behavior disorder (a condition that causes acting out dreams), and healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand how sleep is affected in early and full Parkinson's disease.

GenovaAges 18 years+ - NCT06629207Recruiting
AI predicts Parkinson's risk in sleep behavior disorder
This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze brain scans and predict whether people with REM sleep behavior disorder are at risk of developing Parkinson's disease. It aims to find early signs before symptoms appear.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT06631742Recruiting
Exergaming for dementia: a fun exercise trial
This trial tests whether playing interactive video games that combine exercise and thinking challenges (called 'exergaming') can help people with dementia. It aims to see if this fun way to move and think can improve memory, daily function, and quality of life.
Wetzikon, Canton of ZurichAges Any age - NCT06679374RecruitingPhase 2
Can varenicline help reduce falls in Parkinson disease?
This phase 2 trial tests a medicine called varenicline (brand name Chantix) to see if it can reduce falls in people with Parkinson disease who also have a specific brain change (loss of a chemical called acetylcholine in the back of the brain) and mild cognitive problems. The study will help determine if this medicine is safe and effective for this group.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 45 years+ - NCT06695455Recruiting
Can music help people with Parkinson's swallow better?
This trial tests if a rhythmic sound cue can reduce rolling (a swallowing problem) in people with Parkinson's. If you have trouble with solid foods but not severe liquid aspiration, you may qualify.
Saint-Sébastien-de-Morsent, NormandyAges 18 years+ - NCT06705517Recruiting
Mediterranean diet study for Parkinson's disease
This trial tests whether a Mediterranean diet can help people with Parkinson's disease. You would either follow your usual diet or switch to a Mediterranean diet for six months and provide blood and stool samples.
Varese, VareseAges 40–85 - NCT06710574RecruitingPhase 4
Probiotics for sleep problems in Parkinson's disease
This study tests whether taking probiotics can improve REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) in people with Parkinson's disease. You will receive either a probiotic supplement or a placebo, and researchers will use brain scans to see how it affects your symptoms.
BeijingAges 40–85 - NCT06713265Recruiting
Parkinson's: freezing while walking and swallowing
This study looks at a possible link between two specific Parkinson's symptoms: freezing while walking and freezing of the throat muscles during swallowing. It aims to understand if people who have one type of freezing are more likely to have the other, which may guide future therapies.
Saint-Sébastien-de-MorsentAges 18 years+ - NCT06821230Recruiting
Mindfulness for Parkinson's patients and their caregivers
This study tests whether a dyadic mindfulness program can help both people with Parkinson's disease and their caregivers manage negative emotions. You and your care partner would attend sessions together to learn mindfulness techniques.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06846658Recruiting
Finding early signs of Parkinson's and related diseases
This study looks at cells from the nose, blood, and urine to find early markers for Parkinson's disease, similar conditions, and memory problems linked to Lewy bodies. If you have one of these conditions, joining could help improve early diagnosis.
Sesto Fiorentino, FIAges Any age - NCT06852352Recruiting
Modified brain lymph surgery for Alzheimer's or Parkinson's
This study tests a new, less invasive surgery to improve lymph drainage from the brain. It may help clear harmful proteins linked to Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 50–80 - NCT06856941Recruiting
Walking exercise study for Parkinson's mobility
This trial tests whether a new type of walking exercise (called CsDCS) can help improve your ability to move around and do daily activities. It is designed for people with Parkinson's who are already on medication and can walk independently.
Recife, PernambucoAges 40 years+ - NCT06868160Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve walking in Parkinson's disease
This study tests whether different types of gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp can help improve walking and balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find a better way to support rehabilitation.

Measuring alpha-synuclein changes in Parkinson's disease progression
This study examines changes in alpha-synuclein, a protein linked to Parkinson's, to better understand how the disease progresses. It may help researchers learn more about Parkinson's and improve future care.

- 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.
