Recruiting studies
- NCT07570212Recruiting
Personalized Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's and Similar Disorders
This study tests whether customized transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive technique that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain activity) can help improve symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, or progressive supranuclear palsy. The treatment is tailored to each person's brain activity patterns.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation to Improve Heart Function in Parkinson's Disease
This study tests a non-invasive ear-based stimulation technique (taVNS) to help regulate heart function in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see if this gentle stimulation can improve blood pressure and heart rate control.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT07545473Recruiting
Eye Imaging to Detect Brain Disease Markers
This study uses a special camera to photograph the back of your eye in detail. Researchers believe changes in the eye may reflect brain diseases like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, and this imaging could help detect these conditions earlier.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 30 years+ - NCT07533799Recruiting
Swedish BioFINDER Sleep Study: Brain imaging in RBD and Parkinson's
This study examines brain changes in people with REM sleep behavior disorder (acting out dreams during sleep) and early Parkinson's disease using brain imaging scans. Researchers want to understand how sleep problems relate to Parkinson's development and find early warning signs.
MalmöAges 50–100 - NCT07519096Recruiting
Home-Based Fall Prevention Program for Parkinson's Disease
This study tests a fall prevention program designed for people with Parkinson's disease and their care partners. It aims to help reduce falls and improve balance and safety at home.
Beachwood, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07521384Enrolling by invitation
Real-World Study of Intranasal Cell Therapy for Brain Injuries
This study follows people who receive intranasal stem cell or exosome therapy (tiny packages from special cells) for brain or neurological conditions like stroke, brain injury, or cerebral palsy. Researchers track how well the treatment works by measuring inflammation markers in the blood and monitoring clinical improvements over time.
Monterrey, Nuevo LeónAges 4–80 - NCT07509125Recruiting
Ultra-high resolution PET brain scans for aging, dementia, and psychosis
This study uses a new ultra-high resolution PET scanner to look at brain changes in healthy aging, dementia, ALS, movement disorders, and psychosis. It aims to better understand these conditions and improve imaging techniques.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18–90 - NCT06162013RecruitingPhase 2
NAD supplement trial for atypical parkinsonism
This trial tests whether a supplement called nicotinamide riboside (NR) can help people with rare forms of parkinsonism (PSP, MSA, or CBS). It is a double-blind study, meaning neither you nor the doctors will know if you are getting the real supplement or a placebo.
Oslo, OsloAges 30–85 - NCT06481540Recruiting
Smartphone app for cough training in Parkinson's
This trial tests a smartphone app called SpiroGym to help people with Parkinson's disease improve their cough strength. It aims to see if app-guided exercises can make coughing more effective for clearing the airway.
PragueAges 40–80 - NCT07455760Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation and speech sequencing study
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation affects speech in people with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor. It tests whether the stimulation changes the way you say sequences of sounds.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06519279Recruiting
Freezing of gait study for Parkinson's patients
This study looks at how Parkinson's disease affects freezing of gait (a sudden feeling of being stuck while walking). It may help researchers better understand this symptom and improve future treatments. You may be able to join if you can walk 10 meters without help and don't have a deep brain stimulator.
Tel AvivAges 18 years+ - NCT07449117Recruiting
Brain stimulation for language in mild cognitive decline
This study tests a new type of gentle brain stimulation (called temporal interference) to see if it can improve language processing in people with mild cognitive impairment. The stimulation uses electrodes placed on the head and is done while you are in an MRI scanner.
Brno, South MoravianAges 60–80 - NCT07442747RecruitingPhase 2
Aerobic exercise benefits in Parkinson's with DBS
This trial tests whether aerobic exercise (like walking or biking) can improve brain function in people with Parkinson's who have a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device. It may help you learn how exercise affects your symptoms and DBS treatment.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06120049RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Comparing new PET scans for Parkinson's, MSA, Lewy body dementia, and Alzheimer's
This study tests if a new radioactive tracer called [18F]-MFBG can help doctors better distinguish between Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy (MSA), dementia with Lewy bodies, and Alzheimer's disease. It compares the new scan with two standard scans to see which is most accurate.
Ghent, GentAges 18–85 - NCT07428447Recruiting
Skin test to see if essential tremor may progress to Parkinson's
This study uses a small skin sample to look for a protein linked to Parkinson's disease. It aims to help people with essential tremor understand their risk of developing Parkinson's, which could guide future care.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 50–85 - NCT06460038RecruitingPhase 2
Medication study for constipation in Parkinson's
This study tests whether a medication called tenapanor can help relieve constipation in people with Parkinson's disease. If you have Parkinson's and have been struggling with constipation for at least 6 months, this trial may offer a new option to improve bowel regularity.
Waterloo, IowaAges 50–89 - NCT07424365Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation for thinking skills in health and Parkinson's
This study explores whether vagus nerve stimulation (a gentle electrical pulse that travels through a nerve in your ear) can boost thinking and decision-making skills in healthy people and those with Parkinson's disease. It involves a noninvasive device that stimulates the ear, and you may participate if you meet certain health criteria.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–65 - NCT07417280Recruiting
Focused ultrasound for neurological disorders
This trial tests a gentle ultrasound treatment (LIFUS) for people with various brain conditions like epilepsy, tumours, or movement disorders. It aims to see if this non-invasive approach can help where other treatments are being used.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–85 - NCT07424508Enrolling by invitation
Adaptive brain stimulation for Parkinson's movement symptoms
This trial tests a new type of deep brain stimulation that adapts to your movements to improve walking, balance, and tremors. It is for people with Parkinson's disease who have had symptoms for at least 3 years, are 21 to 75 years old, and already have a special study brain-stimulation device implanted.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 21–75 - NCT07410598Recruiting
Testing a new way to use deep brain stimulation at home
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called patterned stimulation for people with Parkinson's who already have a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device. It aims to see if using this special stimulation at home is safe and comfortable.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT07400731Recruiting
Ear stimulation for Parkinson's symptoms
This study tests whether a device that stimulates the ear can improve Parkinson's symptoms during 'off' periods, when medication wears off. It compares how you feel before and after ear stimulation.
IstanbulAges 44 years+ - NCT07380204Recruiting
Measuring Hsp90 in the brain with a PET scan
This study uses a special PET scan to measure a protein called Hsp90 in the brain. It aims to understand how Hsp90 levels differ in healthy people and those with Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, or ALS, which may lead to new treatments.
Leuven, Vlaam-BrabantAges 18–70 - NCT07384143Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for parkinsonism?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 735 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.
