NijmegenAges 18 years+ - NCT06145711Recruiting
Stem cell therapy for Parkinson's disease
This trial uses special stem cells (made from skin or blood cells) to replace damaged brain cells in people with Parkinson's. The goal is to see if these cells can improve movement and reduce symptoms.

Remote assessment for people with Parkinson's
This trial tests a remote way to assess people newly diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, to help monitor their condition and guide care.
LondonAges 18–90 - NCT06161636Recruiting
Studying hand movement to diagnose Parkinson's early
This trial looks at how analyzing hand movements might help doctors tell the difference between Parkinson's disease and other similar conditions early on. It may help improve diagnosis so patients get the right care sooner.
Montreal, QuebecAges 50–75 - NCT06167681RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cell Therapy NouvNeu001 for Parkinson's Disease
This trial tests a new cell therapy called NouvNeu001 for Parkinson's disease. It involves a one-time brain surgery to deliver the treatment, and researchers will check if it's safe and helps with symptoms.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50–75 - 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+ - 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 - NCT06207136Recruiting
Diet and Gut Bacteria in Parkinson's
This study looks at how diet and the bacteria in your gut (microbiome) affect Parkinson's symptoms. You'll work with a coach and take cooking classes to see if changing what you eat can help you feel better.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 40–80 - NCT06231563RecruitingPhase 2
Ketamine for depression in veterans with Parkinson's

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.
