This study looks at how the brain controls walking and freezing of gait in people with Parkinson's disease who have deep brain stimulation (DBS). It aims to help understand why freezing happens and improve treatments.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT06885138Enrolling by invitation
Testing brain stimulation for depression in Parkinson's disease
This trial tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve depression symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease. You'll receive either real or placebo stimulation over several sessions to see if it helps your mood.
MilanAges 35–75 - NCT06819020Enrolling by invitation
Adaptive deep brain stimulation for freezing of gait in Parkinson's
This trial tests an adaptive deep brain stimulation (DBS) system designed to improve freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease. It is for people who still have trouble walking despite medications and are already planning to have DBS surgery.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 21–75 - NCT06823921Enrolling by invitation
Exercise and thinking in Parkinson's disease
This study tests whether high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can improve thinking skills in people with Parkinson's. If you are willing to exercise in a group, this trial might help you understand the benefits of exercise.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 40 years+ - NCT06142448Recruiting
Walking tricks for better gait in Parkinson's
This study tests whether using simple walking tricks (like stepping over lines or listening to a beat) can help people with Parkinson's improve their walking. If you haven't already been using these tricks daily, you may be able to join and see if they help you.
NijmegenAges 18 years+ - NCT05800470Recruiting
Brain-training with light sensors to improve walking in Parkinson’s
This trial tests a “neurofeedback” training program using a special light-sensing cap (fNIRS) to help improve balance and walking in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may also do guided walking practice mentally (imagery training), and your ability to walk and balance will be measured.
Taipei, None SelectedAges 40–85 - NCT06692920Recruiting
Parkinson's brain signals study during DBS surgery
This study looks at brain signals in people with Parkinson's who are already scheduled for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery. The goal is to better understand how certain brain pathways work, which could lead to improved treatments.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 21–75 - NCT05982730Recruiting
Segway training for balance and thinking in Parkinson's
This study tests whether practicing balance on a Segway can improve walking and thinking for people with moderate Parkinson's. You will train on a Segway while getting special sensory cues, and researchers will see if it helps your motor skills and cognitive function.
Dallas, TexasAges 50–85 - NCT06506058Recruiting
Study on balance and brain in Parkinson's freezing of gait
This study looks at how the balance system and brain work together to cause freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease. By understanding these factors, researchers hope to find better ways to help people walk more steadily.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 21–80 - NCT06464029Recruiting
Balance and walking study in Parkinson's disease
This study looks at balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. It uses simple tests to understand what causes trouble with standing and walking, which may help find better treatments.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 45–80 - NCT06455293RecruitingPhase 2
Psilocybin therapy for depression in Parkinson's disease
This study tests whether psilocybin, a substance found in certain mushrooms, can help improve depression in people with Parkinson's disease. If you have Parkinson's and are feeling depressed, this treatment may offer a new option.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 40–80 - NCT06248073Recruiting
Online program and task training for Parkinson's disease
This study tests an online program and task-based training to help people with mild Parkinson's disease improve their movement and reaching ability. It is designed for people who can still sit and reach for objects without major tremors or other health problems.
Linkou DistrictAges 45–70 - NCT06234995RecruitingPhase 4
Brain activity and movement control in Parkinson's
This study looks at how the brain controls movement in people with Parkinson's disease, including those who have had deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. It involves recording brain activity and may help doctors understand how to improve treatment.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 45–75 - NCT05765110Recruiting
Tracking speech, movement, and thinking in Parkinson’s disease
This study looks at how people with Parkinson’s disease speak, move, and think to see whether these patterns can act like a “biomarker” (a measurable sign) of the disease. It also involves healthy volunteers to compare results.
PragueAges 30–75 - NCT05680597Recruiting
Video balance rehab program for Parkinson’s symptoms
This trial tests a 4-week, at-home video rehabilitation program focused on balance problems in people with Parkinson’s disease. It aims to see whether this tele-rehab approach helps with walking and stability while keeping medications steady.
Portland, OregonAges 55–85 - NCT05644327Recruiting
Exercise program to improve sleep in Parkinson’s disease
This study looks at whether an exercise program can improve sleep problems in people with Parkinson’s disease. It’s mainly for those who already have poor sleep quality while taking stable Parkinson’s medicine.
Laval, QuebecAges 40 years+ - NCT05504902Enrolling by invitation
Device training for advanced Parkinson’s using touch feedback
This study tests whether coordinated touch (vibrotactile) training can improve symptoms in people with Parkinson’s. You may be asked to use a special device and attend virtual check-ins, with some visits requiring stopping Parkinson’s meds for short periods.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05268887Recruiting
Light, sound, and touch therapy for Parkinson’s symptoms
This trial tests whether high-frequency light, sound, and gentle touch can improve movement and thinking problems in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may help the researchers learn if this kind of stimulation is safe and beneficial alongside your usual Parkinson’s medications.
Cambridge, MassachusettsAges 45–90 - NCT05266417RecruitingPhase 2
Nasal insulin plus glutathione for Parkinson’s symptoms
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding nasal insulin and glutathione can improve Parkinson’s disease symptoms and function. You would use study medicine through the nose while keeping your other treatments mostly the same during the trial.
Davie, FloridaAges 30 years+ - NCT05166655Enrolling by invitation
Recording brain signals during deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s
This study uses special recordings during deep brain stimulation surgery to better understand how movement gets easier in Parkinson’s disease. It may help researchers improve how this therapy is used for advanced symptoms.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04650932Recruiting
Study tests new stimulation settings for advanced Parkinson’s
This study looks at whether changing how deep brain stimulation (DBS) pulses are delivered can improve symptoms in people with advanced Parkinson’s disease. You may be eligible if you already have a specific Boston Scientific DBS device and have had it implanted for at least 3 months.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06324422Recruiting

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 209 recruiting parkinson disease, idiopathic 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, idiopathic 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, idiopathic trial?
