Recruiting studies
- NCT06241924Recruiting
Brain wave study in Parkinson's and epilepsy
This study looks at brain wave activity in areas that control movement, both in people with Parkinson's disease who already have deep brain stimulation electrodes and in people with epilepsy who are undergoing brain monitoring with stereo-EEG. The goal is to understand how brain signals change during normal movement and in movement problems, which may help improve treatments.

Brain cell study in Parkinson's DBS surgery
This trial studies how brain cells in a specific area (the prefrontal cortex) affect thinking and planning in people with Parkinson's disease who are getting deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. The goal is to learn more about brain function to improve future treatments.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 45–85 - NCT06343558Recruiting
Gait and balance study for rare neurological diseases
This study looks at how people with rare or common neurological diseases walk and keep their balance. You will be asked to do simple walking and standing tasks to help doctors understand these problems better.

This study collects data from people having brain or spine surgery for many different conditions. It aims to understand how well different treatments work and how people recover. If you are scheduled for certain brain, spine, or nerve surgeries, you may be able to join.
Bergamo, BGAges 18 years+ - NCT06147999Recruiting
Biophoton therapy for brain disorders
This trial tests a biophoton therapy, a light-based treatment, for people with brain disorders. It aims to see if this non-invasive approach can help improve symptoms.
Butler, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06685510Enrolling by invitation
Deep brain stimulation outcomes and electrode position in Parkinson's
This study looks at how the placement of electrodes during deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease affects recovery and motor symptoms right after surgery. It could help doctors improve DBS outcomes for people with Parkinson's.

Nerve graft trial for Parkinson's or MSA
This trial tests whether grafting a piece of your own leg nerve into a specific part of the brain can improve symptoms of Parkinson's disease or multiple system atrophy (MSA). It aims to help people whose movement problems are moderate but not too severe.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 40–75 - NCT06617884Recruiting
Home balance training for movement disorders
This study tests a home-based walking and balance training program for people with cerebellar ataxia or Parkinson's disease. The training is done at home, so you don't need to travel. The goal is to see if this simple exercise program can improve your walking and balance.
Düsseldorf, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18–75 - NCT06671626Enrolling by invitation
Brain recordings during DBS surgery for Parkinson's
This study records brain activity during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's disease to better understand how the brain controls actions. It might help improve future treatments.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06583395Enrolling by invitation
Meditation retreat study with fitness tracker
This trial studies people attending a 7-day meditation retreat to see how meditation affects well-being. You will wear a fitness tracker and answer surveys.
Palm Desert, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT06570824Recruiting
Can repetitive TMS help with levodopa-induced dyskinesia?
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive TMS can reduce the involuntary movements (dyskinesia) that some people with Parkinson's disease experience as a side effect of their levodopa medication. If you have Parkinson's and bothersome dyskinesia when your medication is working, this trial may be an option.
HvidovreAges 18–80 - NCT06553625Recruiting
RF ablation study for pain or CNS conditions
This study observes how well a Boston Scientific radiofrequency (RF) system works for treating pain or central nervous system (CNS) conditions. It helps researchers understand real-world benefits for patients scheduled for this procedure.
CologneAges Any age - NCT05698810Recruiting
Study exams practice for upcoming research
This trial checks whether it’s practical and workable to set up study-related exams before planned research. It mainly recruits adults who can consent and be contacted, so the team can prepare future studies smoothly.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT06529744Recruiting
Using blood tests to better diagnose early dementia
This study is testing whether simple blood tests can help doctors better understand the type and progression of memory or thinking problems in people with early dementia. It aims to improve confidence in the diagnosis and future outlook.
North York, OntarioAges 30–95 - NCT06498349Recruiting
DBS for Parkinson's impulse control problems
This trial tests whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus can help control impulse control problems (like gambling, overeating, or shopping) in people with Parkinson's disease. It is for patients whose medication-related impulse symptoms are moderate to severe and who are good candidates for DBS surgery.
CologneAges 18–70 - NCT05590637RecruitingPhase 4
Compare antipsychotic medicines for Parkinson or Lewy body psychosis
This study compares two medicines—quetiapine and pimavanserin—in people with psychosis caused by Parkinson’s disease or Lewy body dementia, looking at how they work over time. You might join if you are starting an antipsychotic for the first time and your clinician can safely manage either option.
San Antonio, TexasAges Any age - NCT06489483Recruiting
Parkinson's and action regulation study in Dallas
This study looks at how people with Parkinson's disease regulate their actions. It will test your behavior during 'on' periods (when medication is working well) to understand decision-making and movement control.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT06450418Recruiting
Digital app for speech and health monitoring
This trial tests a digital app that tracks speech and health changes. It is open to people with certain neurological conditions, their caregivers, and healthy volunteers.
EdinburghAges 16 years+ - NCT06377033Recruiting
Using health records to advance genomic medicine for all
This study uses electronic health records to learn how to improve genomic medicine across a diverse health system. It may help make DNA-based healthcare more accessible and effective for people with certain conditions.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06329453Recruiting
Gut immunity and brain health study
This study looks at how your gut's immune system relates to brain and nerve diseases. Researchers will collect samples during a colonoscopy to better understand connections between gut health and neurologic conditions like multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease.

Brain imaging study for Parkinson's disease
This study uses a special PET scan to look at inflammation in the brain of people with Parkinson's disease or those at risk for it. The goal is to better understand the disease and possibly find new ways to track its progression.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–99 - NCT04389437Recruiting
Eye imaging study for people with memory problems
This study uses detailed eye scans to look for changes that might relate to memory problems. You may be able to join if you are being seen for memory concerns and meet the health and eye-scan requirements.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05943652Recruiting
Study of how functional overlay affects movement disorders
This study looks at movement disorders that are functional (not caused by damage to the nervous system) or non-functional, and how a “functional overlay” may change symptoms. It is observational, meaning it does not test a new treatment, but it may help researchers better understand these differences and improve care.

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.
