Recruiting studies
- NCT07381751Recruiting
AI assessment of Parkinson's motor symptoms via video
This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze videos of standard motor tests (MDS-UPDRS Part III) for people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to see if AI can reliably assess your symptoms, which could lead to easier, more accessible monitoring in the future.

Recife, PernambucoAges 40 years+ - NCT07351032Recruiting
Learning walking movements in Parkinson's disease
This study looks at how people with Parkinson's learn and transfer walking movements from one task to another. You will walk on a special treadmill to help researchers understand how your brain adapts, which could lead to better rehab strategies.
Montreal, QuebecAges 50 years+ - NCT06487364Recruiting
How much change in a Parkinson's quality-of-life test matters
This study looks at a short questionnaire (Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-8) that measures how Parkinson's affects your daily life. The goal is to find out the smallest change in the questionnaire that really matters to patients.
IstanbulAges 40–80 - NCT06490809Recruiting
Understanding meaningful hand function changes in Parkinson's
This study looks at a simple hand-and-arm test (the Box and Block Test) to see how much improvement matters to people with Parkinson's. It helps doctors understand what small changes in hand function are meaningful to you.
IstanbulAges 50–80 - NCT07337226Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation and treadmill training for Parkinson's walking
This study tests whether a mild electrical stimulation on the ear (called taVNS) combined with treadmill walking can improve walking ability in people newly diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see if this combination helps you walk better and more safely.
Roma, RMAges 50–80 - NCT06482502Recruiting
Testing arm function in Parkinson's with a ring and board test
This study checks if a 6-minute pegboard and ring test is a valid way to measure arm function in people with Parkinson's. It may help find better ways to track arm movement issues.
IstanbulAges 45–75 - 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 - NCT07322887RecruitingPhase 2
Study of sul-238 for early untreated parkinson's disease
This study tests whether an experimental medicine called SUL-238 can improve energy levels in the brain cells of people with early, untreated Parkinson's. It uses a special type of MRI to see if the medicine affects brain energy.
GroningenAges 40 years+ - NCT07322939Recruiting
Exercise with visual feedback for Parkinson's
This trial tests whether adding visual feedback to exercise can help people with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease improve their movement and balance. It is designed for people who are only taking oral Parkinson's medications.
Gaziantep, ŞahinbeyAges 18–85 - NCT07323121Recruiting
Flickering light therapy for sleep problems in Parkinson's
This study tests whether a special flickering light (40 Hz) can help improve sleep in people with Parkinson's disease. Participants will be exposed to the light at home, and researchers will track changes in sleep quality.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 50–75 - NCT07308795Recruiting
Measuring belly breathing muscles in Parkinson’s patients
This trial uses ultrasound to measure the size of belly and rib muscles that help you breathe. It looks at how these muscles relate to the severity of Parkinson’s and your ability to exhale strongly.
Istanbul, BAHÇELİEVLERAges 18–75 - NCT07310264RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of a new drug for Parkinson's disease
This trial tests a new drug called VT-5006 to see if it is safe for people with Parkinson's disease. It focuses on those who have stomach or bowel issues, like constipation.
LeidenAges 18–80 - NCT07310147Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for parkinson?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 735 recruiting parkinson 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 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 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.
