This study builds a research database of people who receive care for Parkinson’s disease, including those with mild memory problems or dementia. It aims to collect consistent information that researchers can use to better understand Parkinson’s and related thinking changes.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04804202Recruiting
Virtual cycling program for people with Parkinson disease
This study tests whether a virtual, guided stationary bike exercise program is safe and helpful for people with Parkinson disease. It may help improve movement and fitness by letting you ride at home or in a controlled setting while using visual and audio guidance.
Newark, New JerseyAges 45–75 - NCT04720365Recruiting
Home video game rehab to help Parkinson’s walking and balance
This trial tests whether a serious (therapeutic) home video-game program can improve walking and balance problems for people with Parkinson’s disease who still have trouble even with levodopa. It also looks at whether the approach is worth it in real-world care (cost and benefits).
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT04239079Recruiting
Study of immune-related changes in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s
This study looks for “autoimmune-like” (immune-system) features in brain-related diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, using genetic testing and other assessments. Results may help researchers understand what drives these conditions and who might be more likely to have immune-related changes.
New York, New YorkAges 55–90 - NCT03623672Enrolling by invitation
Study for early signs of Parkinson-related brain changes
This study enrolls people with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder, a sleep problem that can come before Parkinson’s disease or related conditions. It aims to better understand early (“prodromal”) changes so future treatments can be targeted earlier.
Sun City, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03217110Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for thinking and control
This trial tests whether stimulating the cerebellum (a part of the brain involved in coordination and learning) can improve “cognitive control,” or the ability to focus and manage thoughts. You may be able to join if you have a diagnosis they are specifically enrolling for and you can safely complete the stimulation and study procedures.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–90 - NCT03174938Recruiting
BioFINDER 2 study for healthy aging and memory problems
This study uses brain scans and a spinal fluid test to better understand memory and thinking changes in different groups, from people with healthy thinking to early or established dementia. If you qualify, it may help researchers learn what’s driving these conditions and how they progress.
ÄngelholmAges 20–100 - NCT00001215Enrolling by invitation
Understanding Genetic Lysosomal Storage Disorders
This study aims to understand genetic factors in lysosomal storage disorders—rare conditions where the body cannot break down certain substances. Researchers will collect information from patients with these disorders, their family members, and healthy volunteers to learn how these diseases develop and affect people over time.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 week–110 years - NCT05025254Recruiting
Online thinking tests for people with Parkinson’s disease
This study tests online “thinking” (cognitive) abilities in people with Parkinson’s disease. It may help researchers better understand how thinking changes over time and how tests can be done from home.
Montreal, QuebecAges 45–90 - NCT05741151Recruiting
Testing a nerve target in Parkinson’s disease
This trial is studying the “superior cervical ganglion” as a possible treatment approach for Parkinson’s disease. It may help people whose symptoms are truly caused by Parkinson’s, not by another condition.
RomeAges 30–80 - NCT07863219Recruiting
Cognitive effects of a 10-week exercise program for Parkinson's disease
This trial tests whether a 10-week program combining exercise and other activities can improve thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease.
Ghent, Oost-VlaanderenAges 18 years+ - NCT07842926Recruiting
Radiofrequency heat therapy for leg stiffness in Parkinson's disease
This study tests a therapy called capacitive-resistive radiofrequency (a type of heat treatment) to see if it helps reduce stiffness in the legs of people with Parkinson's disease. You may receive this therapy during a session, and we will measure how it affects your movement and walking.
Zaragoza, ZaragozaAges 55–90 - NCT06456684Recruiting
AV133 PET scan study in early Parkinson's disease
This study uses a special PET scan to look at a protein (VMAT2) in the brain that is linked to Parkinson's disease. It helps researchers understand early changes in people with newly diagnosed Parkinson's or those at high risk of developing it.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 30 years+ - NCT07832695Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus practice for Parkinson's disease
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation, called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), combined with guided practice can improve movement and daily function in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help you move better and do everyday tasks more easily.
Taipei, Zhongzheng Dist.Ages 18 years+ - NCT07810296Recruiting
Comparing two tremor medications for Parkinson's disease
This trial compares two commonly used medications, benzhexol and procyclidine, to see which works better for controlling tremor in people with Parkinson's disease. If you have bothersome tremors despite your current levodopa/carbidopa treatment, this study could help find a more effective option.
