Testing tenofovir for Parkinson's disease
This trial is testing if a medicine called tenofovir, usually used for HIV and hepatitis B, can help people with early-stage Parkinson's disease. It's for people who are under 65 and have no other major health issues.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–65 - NCT06383247Recruiting
Precision TMS for parkinson's motor symptoms
This trial tests a precise form of brain stimulation (called TMS) to see if it can improve movement problems like stiffness, slowness, or tremors in people with Parkinson's disease. Participants must have a stable medication routine and no metal implants or brain surgery history.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 40 years+ - NCT06385184Recruiting
Social life and quality of life in Parkinson's
This study looks at how social life and quality of life are affected in Parkinson's disease. It compares people with Parkinson's to those without to better understand these changes.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 40 years+ - NCT06386497Recruiting
Bed for better sleep in Parkinson's disease
This study tests a special bed (Somnomat Casa) to help improve sleep in people with Parkinson's disease. It looks at whether the bed is comfortable and acceptable to use.
BernAges 18–85 - NCT06388863Recruiting
Fecal transplant for constipation in Parkinson's disease
This study tests whether a treatment called fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) can help relieve constipation in people with Parkinson's disease. FMT uses healthy donor stool to improve gut bacteria, which may ease constipation and possibly improve Parkinson's symptoms.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 40–75 - NCT06390761Recruiting
Acupuncture for constipation in Parkinson's disease
This trial tests whether acupuncture can help relieve constipation in people with Parkinson's disease. If you have both Parkinson's and constipation that is not caused by another medical condition, this study may offer a non-drug treatment option.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 35–80 - NCT06399731Recruiting
Brain stimulation for mild thinking problems in Parkinson's
This trial tests if non-invasive brain stimulation can help with memory and thinking problems (mild cognitive impairment) in people with Parkinson's disease. It uses magnetic pulses and mild electrical current to stimulate the brain over a few weeks.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges Any age - NCT06400017Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation study for Parkinson's disease
This trial studies how deep brain stimulation (DBS) works and can help control Parkinson's symptoms. It uses a special DBS device that is safe for MRI scans.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50–70 - NCT06402955RecruitingPhase 2
Imaging depression in Parkinson's disease
This study uses brain imaging (PET scans) to understand depression in people with Parkinson's disease. It may also test a depression treatment called ketamine, but the main goal is to see how the brain changes with depression.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 40–80 - NCT06405334Recruiting
Study on balance problems in Parkinson's disease
This study looks at how Parkinson's disease affects balance and the brain signals involved. It aims to understand why some people with Parkinson's have trouble with balance, and in part of the study, it will look at how deep brain stimulation (a device that sends electrical impulses to the brain) affects balance.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06416345Recruiting
Cue2Walk: Freezing detection and cues for Parkinson's walking
This study tests whether a new device called Cue2Walk can help people with Parkinson's disease who have freezing of gait. The device detects when you freeze and sends a signal (like a beep) to help you start walking again. Researchers want to see if it is worth the cost compared to your usual care.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges Any age - NCT06416722Recruiting
Remote therapy with two tasks at once for Parkinson's
This study tests whether a remote therapy program that combines physical exercises with a thinking task can help people with Parkinson's walk better and think more clearly. It's done from home using a smartphone or computer.
Istanbul, BakırköyAges 30–75 - NCT06425731Recruiting
Dance and energy in Parkinson's disease
This study looks at how dancing affects energy use in people with Parkinson's. If you already take Dance for PD® classes and have mild to moderate Parkinson's, researchers want to see how your body responds during a dance class.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT06438419Recruiting
Brain activity in Parkinson's during movement with DBS
This study records brain activity during movement in people with Parkinson's who have a special deep brain stimulation (DBS) device. It aims to understand how brain rhythms relate to movement, which could improve future treatments.
BordeauxAges 18–75 - NCT06439355Recruiting
Taste test for Parkinson's and Lewy body disease
This study measures how well people with Parkinson's or Lewy body disease can taste, using a special test. It aims to understand if taste problems are linked to these conditions and could help with earlier diagnosis.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT06442033Recruiting
Exercise and genetics to slow Parkinson's
This trial studies whether a regular aerobic cycling program can slow the progression of Parkinson's disease. Researchers will also look at how genetics may affect the benefits of exercise.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06444685Recruiting
Table Tennis for Parkinson's Disease
This trial tests whether playing table tennis can help people with Parkinson's disease improve their movement and quality of life. If you join, you'll play table tennis regularly, and researchers will see how it affects you.
LleidaAges 40–80 - NCT06446505Recruiting
Decision aid for deep brain stimulation in Parkinson's
This study tests a decision aid to help people with Parkinson's disease who are being considered for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. The goal is to see if the tool helps patients make more informed choices about their treatment.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06453226Recruiting
Detecting Parkinson's disease through skin and breath smells
This study looks for unique smells given off by the skin and breath of people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see if a simple, non-invasive test could help diagnose the condition.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for parkinsonism?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 746 recruiting parkinsonism 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 parkinsonism 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 parkinsonism 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.
