Recruiting studies
- NCT07674264Recruiting
Breathing therapy for thinking and movement in Parkinson's

Vagus Nerve Stimulation to Improve Heart Function in Parkinson's Disease
This study tests a non-invasive ear-based stimulation technique (taVNS) to help regulate heart function in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see if this gentle stimulation can improve blood pressure and heart rate control.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT06586320Enrolling by invitation
Eye movement test for Parkinson's and Essential tremor
This study uses a simple eye movement test to see if it can help tell the difference between Parkinson's disease, Essential tremor, and healthy people. The goal is to find a better way to diagnose and track these conditions.
Manchester, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT05843084Recruiting
7-Tesla brain scans to map networks for Parkinson’s DBS
This study uses a very strong MRI (7-tesla) to analyze how parts of the brain connect in people with Parkinson’s who already have deep brain stimulation (DBS). It may help researchers better understand DBS and how it works in the brain.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07687979Recruiting
Mobile app for walking training in Parkinson's disease
This trial tests whether a mobile phone app can help improve walking in people with Parkinson's disease. If you have mild to moderate Parkinson's and can use a smartphone, you may be able to join.
Izmir, İzmirAges 60–80 - NCT06425731Recruiting
Dance and energy in Parkinson's disease
This study looks at how dancing affects energy use in people with Parkinson's. If you already take Dance for PD® classes and have mild to moderate Parkinson's, researchers want to see how your body responds during a dance class.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT06848205Recruiting
Brain pacemaker study for freezing of gait in Parkinson's
This study looks at how a special brain pacemaker (called the Medtronic Percept device) affects walking problems like freezing of gait in people with Parkinson's. It aims to help understand and improve treatment.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 21–75 - NCT07176091Enrolling by invitation
Magnetic brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease pain
This trial tests a special type of magnetic brain stimulation (called TMS) to see if it can help with Parkinson's disease and the pain that often comes with it. You must have had Parkinson's for at least 3 years, have frequent pain, and be on stable medications.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 40–80 - NCT07636720Recruiting
Sleep monitoring with Parkinson's deep brain stimulation device
This study uses a special sensing device in your existing Parkinson's deep brain stimulation implant to monitor your sleep patterns. Researchers want to understand how sleep and the stimulation device interact, which could help improve treatment for Parkinson's patients.
San Antonio, TexasAges 40–80 - NCT04664634RecruitingPhase 3
Digital treatment for drooling and swallowing in Parkinson’s
This trial tests a smartphone/tablet digital program meant to help with drooling (sialorrhea) and swallowing problems in people with Parkinson’s disease. If you’re eligible, you’ll use the platform during clinic study visits to see whether it can improve symptoms and safety.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 22 years+ - NCT05395624RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Safety imaging study of a PET tracer in ALS, Alzheimer, MS, Parkinson
This early-phase study tests the safety of a radioactive tracer (“18F-OP-801”) and how the tracer moves through the body (biodistribution) in people with ALS, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and in healthy volunteers. It also measures how the body processes the tracer (“pharmacokinetics”) to support future studies.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT05820074Recruiting
Neural signals and walking changes in Parkinson’s patients
This study measures brain and nerve “biomarkers” to understand how Parkinson’s affects walking and balance. It may help researchers identify signs that relate to gait problems, and participants with a specific implanted stimulator may be able to take part in testing with stimulation turned off.
Vitznau, Canton of LucerneAges 18 years+ - NCT06205043Recruiting
Smart DBS tuning for Parkinson's disease
This study tests a new computer-guided method for fine-tuning Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) settings in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find the best stimulation settings more efficiently and improve symptom control.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges Any age - NCT06885541Recruiting
Measuring internal tremors in Parkinson's patients
This study uses a device on your body to detect internal tremors (tiny vibrations you may feel inside) in Parkinson's disease. It helps researchers understand these tremors better and compare them to people without Parkinson's.
Toulouse, OccitanieAges 18–80 - NCT07390825Recruiting
Water therapy for daily living and movement in Parkinson's
This study tests if aquatic therapy (exercises in water) can improve walking, balance, posture, pain, and daily activities for people with Parkinson's. It aims to see if water-based exercise helps more than standard care.
Çankaya, AnkaraAges 40–80 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05433441Recruiting
Parkinson care team program for people living at home
This study tests whether “Parkinson specialized teams” can improve care for people with Parkinson’s disease who live at home, with help from a main family caregiver. It looks at whether specialized support can be followed over time and whether it helps daily functioning.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT07284719Recruiting
Focused Ultrasound for Parkinson's Tremor
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment called MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) to reduce severe tremor in Parkinson's disease. It uses sound waves to target the brain area causing the shaking, without surgery.
AarhusAges 50–80 - NCT04426786Recruiting
Exercise study to improve brain energy in Parkinson’s
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can change how your brain uses energy in Parkinson’s disease. It may help improve symptoms or brain-related measures, especially in people who currently exercise very little.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 40–80 - NCT06416722Recruiting
Remote therapy with two tasks at once for Parkinson's
This study tests whether a remote therapy program that combines physical exercises with a thinking task can help people with Parkinson's walk better and think more clearly. It's done from home using a smartphone or computer.
Istanbul, BakırköyAges 30–75 - NCT07213232Enrolling by invitation
Balance and thinking training for Parkinson's
This study tests if combining balance and walking exercises with thinking tasks can improve movement and daily life in people with Parkinson's disease. It is for those in early to moderate stages who can participate in physical and cognitive training.
Ankara, ÜniversitelerAges 40 years+ - NCT07082595Recruiting
