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 - NCT05981261Recruiting
Experimental pain study in Parkinson's and healthy adults
This study looks at how people with Parkinson’s, treated either with levodopa or deep brain stimulation (DBS), and healthy volunteers experience pain. The goal is to understand how Parkinson’s treatments affect pain perception.
AarhusAges Any age - NCT06329453Recruiting
Gut immunity and brain health study
This study looks at how your gut's immune system relates to brain and nerve diseases. Researchers will collect samples during a colonoscopy to better understand connections between gut health and neurologic conditions like multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease.
North Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–99 - NCT06450418Recruiting
Digital app for speech and health monitoring
This trial tests a digital app that tracks speech and health changes. It is open to people with certain neurological conditions, their caregivers, and healthy volunteers.
EdinburghAges 16 years+ - NCT07134634Recruiting
Vibrating therapy ball for tremor relief
This trial tests whether a vibrating ball can help reduce tremor and make daily tasks easier. It is for people with different types of tremor, as long as they don't have major thinking problems or certain other health issues.
Beelitz, BrandenburgAges Any age - NCT06193252Recruiting
Exercising to slow Parkinson's in iRBD
This study tests whether a specific amount of exercise can slow the development of Parkinson's disease in people who have a sleep condition called iRBD. If you have iRBD and are not very active, researchers will help you start a personalized exercise program and track your progress with a smartphone app.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 50 years+ - NCT07187843Recruiting
Parkinson's type study: brain-first vs body-first
This study looks at how Parkinson's disease affects thinking, movement, and brain health differently depending on whether it starts in the brain or the body first. Participants will have tests and scans to track these differences over time.
Reggio EmiliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07092995Enrolling by invitation
Understanding freezing of gait in Parkinson's using VR and brain signals
This study uses virtual reality and brain recordings from your DBS device to understand why some people with Parkinson's experience freezing of gait (feeling like your feet are stuck to the ground). You'll be asked to walk in a safe VR environment while researchers monitor your brain activity.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06576713Recruiting
Genome and RNA sequencing for genetic diagnosis of early Parkinsonism
This study uses advanced genetic testing (genome and RNA sequencing) to find the genetic causes of Parkinsonism that starts before age 40 or runs in families. If you join, you will provide a blood sample and a small skin biopsy to help researchers understand your condition better.

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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for parkinson s disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 740 recruiting parkinson s disease 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 s disease 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 s disease 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.
