This study looks at balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. It uses simple tests to understand what causes trouble with standing and walking, which may help find better treatments.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 45–80 - NCT06467695Recruiting
Low voltage brain stimulation for depression in Parkinson's
This study tests whether a gentle, low-voltage electrical stimulation (tDCS) can help improve depression in people with Parkinson's disease. It involves coming to the lab for sessions where a small device sends a mild current to your brain, and you'll also have an EEG (a non-invasive brain wave recording).
Mobile, AlabamaAges 19–65 - NCT06476912Recruiting
Balance exercise and nerve stimulation for Parkinson's with anxiety
This study tests whether combining balance exercises with a gentle nerve stimulation (called vagus nerve stimulation) can help people with Parkinson's disease who also have anxiety. The goal is to see if this combination improves walking and balance.
TaipeiAges 40–85 - NCT06479083Recruiting
Parkinson's telemedicine support and treatment study
This study uses telemedicine to help coordinate care for people with Parkinson's disease or related conditions. It aims to improve treatment and support across different doctors and services.
HomburgAges 30–85 - 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 - NCT06562569Recruiting
Non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation for Parkinson's gait issues
This study tests a non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation device to see if it can improve walking and reduce freezing of gait in people with Parkinson's disease. It is done at VA hospitals and involves wearing a device on the neck during walking tasks.
Hines, IllinoisAges 50–88 - NCT06485986Recruiting
Brain Networks in Parkinson's and DBS
This study uses a brain scan called MEG to look at how Parkinson's disease and impulse control disorders affect brain networks in people who have already had deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. You will be asked to delay your morning medication so the researchers can study your brain without the effects of the drugs.
OxfordAges 18 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 - NCT06490861Recruiting
Testing a sleeve to track Parkinson's symptoms
This study tests a special sleeve that measures and tracks Parkinson's movement symptoms like stiffness, shaking, and slowness. It aims to see if the sleeve can help monitor your condition at home.
MadridAges 50 years+ - NCT06500182Recruiting
Horseback riding therapy for older adults with Parkinson's disease
This study tests if horseback riding therapy can help people with Parkinson's disease who are 75 or older. It aims to see if this gentle activity improves balance, walking, and quality of life.
Saint-Quentin, AisneAges 75 years+ - NCT06506058Recruiting
Study on balance and brain in Parkinson's freezing of gait
This study looks at how the balance system and brain work together to cause freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease. By understanding these factors, researchers hope to find better ways to help people walk more steadily.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 21–80 - NCT06518824Recruiting
Theta brain stimulation to boost thinking in Parkinson's
This study tests whether a special pattern of deep brain stimulation (called theta bursts) can improve thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease. It's for patients who already have a DBS device in their brain that is at least 3 months old.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18–80 - NCT06528964Recruiting
Skin protein study for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and related disorders
This study looks at the skin of people with memory or movement disorders (like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS) to find proteins that may help diagnose these conditions. If you have one of these diseases or are a healthy older adult, you may be able to join by giving a small skin sample.

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