Nanjing, JiangsuAges 50–75 - NCT07299240Recruiting
Arm cuff exercise for better sleep in Parkinson's
This trial tests if a simple, non-invasive arm cuff treatment can improve sleep and other non-motor symptoms in people with early Parkinson's disease. It involves using a blood pressure-like cuff on your arm to briefly restrict blood flow, then release it, hoping to train your body's protective systems.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 50–70 - NCT07725562RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing a new pill for early-to-mid-stage Parkinson's disease
This trial tests a new tablet (VG081821AC) for people with early-to-mid-stage Parkinson's disease who have not recently used levodopa. The goal is to see if it can improve movement symptoms safely.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT06814431Recruiting
Cancer risk in parkinson's patients with GBA gene mutation
This study looks at whether people with Parkinson's disease who have a specific gene change (GBA mutation) have a higher chance of developing cancer. It will help doctors understand the link between these conditions.
BrindisiAges 18 years+ - NCT07721688Recruiting
Different frequency brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease
This study tests a new, noninvasive brain stimulation technique (called temporal interference stimulation) given at different frequencies. It aims to improve Parkinson's symptoms by gently stimulating the brain area involved in movement.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT07710625Recruiting
Heat sensitivity scale for Parkinson's disease
This study is testing a new questionnaire to measure how heat affects people with Parkinson's disease. If you have Parkinson's and notice changes with heat, this may help doctors better understand your symptoms.
Istanbul, TurkeyAges 40–85 - NCT04799470Recruiting
Testing new brain-stimulation patterns for Parkinson’s with DBS
This study tests whether different deep brain stimulation settings can improve symptoms in people with Parkinson’s who already have an implanted DBS system in the subthalamic nucleus (STN). To join, you must already have the specific Medtronic device and show good brain signal and symptom response after surgery.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 19–80 - 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+ - NCT07610369RecruitingPhase 2
Psilocybin therapy for depression in Parkinson's disease
This study tests whether psilocybin (a psychedelic compound) combined with therapy can reduce depression in people with Parkinson's disease. If you have moderate-to-severe depression and Parkinson's, this trial may offer a new treatment option.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 40–80 - NCT05357612RecruitingPhase 4
PET scan study for brain serotonin in neurodegenerative diseases
This study uses a special PET brain scan tracer to better understand serotonin receptor activity in people with certain neurodegenerative conditions, especially when they develop hallucinations or delusions. The results may help researchers improve how these brain changes are measured and tracked over time.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 50–85 - NCT07432958RecruitingPhase 2
Study of AP-472 with levodopa for Parkinson's motor fluctuations
This trial tests an experimental drug called AP-472, taken alongside your regular Parkinson's medications, to see if it can reduce the amount of "OFF" time you experience each day when symptoms return between doses of levodopa.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 30–80 - 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 - NCT07488377Recruiting
