Recruiting studies
- NCT06999330Enrolling by invitation
TMS for anxiety in Parkinson's disease
This study tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive brain treatment, can help reduce anxiety in people with Parkinson's disease. You may qualify if you have both Parkinson's and significant anxiety symptoms.

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 - NCT06872203Enrolling by invitation
Sensing brain signals with new DBS leads during surgery
This study tests a new way to measure brain signals during Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's disease. It uses special leads that can sense brain activity, which may help doctors better adjust the stimulation in the future.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–75 - NCT06841718Enrolling by invitation
Brain study of freezing in Parkinson's disease
This study uses brain imaging to understand why some people with Parkinson's suddenly feel like their feet are glued to the floor (freezing of gait). It may help find better treatments for this symptom.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT06838741Enrolling by invitation
Virtual reality vs. Otago exercises for Parkinson's
This study tests whether doing virtual reality exercises or the Otago exercise program (a set of balance and strength moves) can help people with Parkinson's disease improve their balance and walking. It may be a good option if you are comfortable with light exercise and technology.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 50–70 - 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+ - 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 - NCT06750224Enrolling by invitation
Alexander vs Feldenkrais for Parkinson's Disease
This study compares two gentle movement re-education methods—the Alexander Technique and Feldenkrais Method—to see which helps improve movement and balance in people with Parkinson's. If you are in early to moderate stages and can stand and walk, you may be able to join.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 50–70 - NCT06745011Enrolling by invitation
Parkinson's signs in people with nerve damage
This study looks for early signs of Parkinson's disease in people who have nerve damage in their hands and feet (polyneuropathy) with no known cause, along with drops in blood pressure when standing up. It aims to understand if these early symptoms might predict future Parkinson's.
Aarhus, JutlandAges 18–85 - NCT06642519Enrolling by invitation
Brain-computer interface for freezing of gait in Parkinson's
This study tests a brain-computer interface device to help people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait. The goal is to see if the device can reduce freezing episodes when medication isn't enough.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT06642454Enrolling by invitation
Breathing-guided nerve stimulation for Parkinson's disease
This study tests a type of nerve stimulation (vagus nerve) for Parkinson's disease. It compares a method that uses your breathing cycle to deliver stimulation versus standard stimulation. The goal is to see which works better for movement and non-movement symptoms.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 40–80 - NCT06641193Enrolling by invitation
rTMS for arm slowness in early Parkinson's
This trial tests a brain stimulation technique called rTMS to see if it can help improve slowness of movement in the arm and hand. It's for people with early-stage Parkinson's whose symptoms started on the left side and whose main problem is moving slowly.
Shanghai, ChinaAges 50–75 - NCT06618157Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation study for Parkinson's tremor
This study tests a new way to adjust deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease. It focuses on people who still have at least mild tremor after their DBS device has been in place for three months or more, to see if targeting specific brain connections can help improve tremor control.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06597071Enrolling by invitation
Eye movement test to help diagnose Parkinson's-like conditions
This study uses a simple eye-tracking test to see if eye movement patterns can help tell the difference between Parkinson's disease and similar conditions like PSP or MSA. It aims to find a faster, easier way to diagnose these disorders.
SevilleAges 30–80 - NCT06592014Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Lithium for Parkinson's: an extension trial
This trial extends a previous study to see if lithium can help Parkinson's symptoms. It's for people who already took part in a related study at the University at Buffalo.
Williamsville, New YorkAges 45–80 - 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+ - NCT06451419Enrolling by invitation
Non-motor symptoms in GBA-related Parkinson's disease
This study looks at non-motor symptoms (like mood, thinking, or sleep problems) in people with a specific genetic change linked to Parkinson's disease. It compares those with the GBA gene change to those without it to see how symptoms differ.
Pozuelo de Alarcón, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06422208Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Parkinson's cell transplant trial using your own cells
This trial tests whether transplanting special dopamine-producing cells made from a patient's own skin cells can help treat Parkinson's disease. It is for people who have had Parkinson's for at least 5 years and still respond well to medication.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 55–80 - NCT06344026Enrolling by invitationPhase 1

This trial tests a new treatment made from your own cells to replace damaged brain cells, aiming to improve movement and reduce symptoms. It's for people who have had Parkinson's for at least 4 years and respond well to levodopa.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 40–75 - NCT06341829Enrolling by invitation
Vision and emotions in Parkinson's disease
This study explores how Parkinson's disease affects visual and emotional abilities. It aims to understand these challenges better to improve future care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for parkinson?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 749 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.
