Recruiting studies
- NCT05741151Recruiting

Experimental pain study in Parkinson's and healthy adults
This study looks at how people with Parkinson’s, treated either with levodopa or deep brain stimulation (DBS), and healthy volunteers experience pain. The goal is to understand how Parkinson’s treatments affect pain perception.
AarhusAges Any age - NCT06090682Recruiting
Brain stimulation for Parkinson's with thinking problems
This trial tests a brain stimulation technique (deep brain stimulation) to see if it can help people with Parkinson's disease who also have mild cognitive problems. The goal is to understand how stimulation affects both movement and thinking.

LondonAges 18–90 - NCT07860294Recruiting
Mental imagery and self-regulation for daily activities in Parkinson's
This study tests whether practicing mental imagery (imagining movements) along with self-regulation techniques can help people with Parkinson's disease improve their daily activities. It aims to see if this training makes everyday tasks easier.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07863219Recruiting
Cognitive effects of a 10-week exercise program for Parkinson's disease
This trial tests whether a 10-week program combining exercise and other activities can improve thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease.
Ghent, Oost-VlaanderenAges 18 years+ - NCT07872202Recruiting
Parkinson's rehabilitation and independence study
This study looks at how rehabilitation can help people with Parkinson's disease become more independent and improve their symptoms. It aims to see if specific exercises can make daily tasks easier and improve quality of life.
OlomoucAges 50–80 - NCT06304285Recruiting
Acupuncture for Parkinson's with chronic appendicitis
This trial tests whether acupuncture can help people with Parkinson's disease who also have chronic appendicitis. It aims to see if treating the appendix inflammation may also improve Parkinson's symptoms.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 40–70 - NCT06316232RecruitingPhase 4
DBS and Levodopa for Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's
This trial tests whether increasing the dose of levodopa or adjusting deep brain stimulation (DBS) can help reduce freezing of gait in people with Parkinson's who already have good control of other symptoms. It aims to find the best way to manage this common and frustrating problem.
BolognaAges 18–80 - NCT06323278Recruiting
Thinking and memory training for Parkinson's disease
This study tests whether a thinking-and-memory training program (cognitive stimulation) can help people with Parkinson's who have mild memory or thinking problems, but not dementia. You must not have had deep brain stimulation surgery.
MilanAges 18–80 - NCT06329739Recruiting
Genetics and thinking in Parkinson's disease
This study looks at how certain genes might affect thinking and behavior in people with Parkinson's disease. If you have Parkinson's, take Parkinson's medication, and have had genetic testing, you may be able to join.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06329726Recruiting
Thinking and memory after brain stimulation for Parkinson's
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease over time. It compares results from people who have DBS and those who receive only medication.
Milan, LombardyAges 18–70 - 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+ - 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 - NCT06324422Recruiting
Exercise for Parkinson's fatigue
This trial tests if a structured exercise program can reduce fatigue in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help you feel less tired and improve daily function.
Aarhus, Central JutlandAges 40 years+ - NCT01558479Recruiting
Parkinson’s genetics study for adults in affected families
This study looks at genetic (inherited) factors in Parkinson’s disease. It may help researchers better understand why Parkinson’s happens and could guide future prevention or treatments.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04496973Recruiting
Parkinson’s disease research registry for adults
This registry asks people with Parkinson’s disease to join a research program at the University of Delaware. Being in the registry may help you get invited to investigator-led studies that could improve understanding or treatment of Parkinson’s.
Newark, DelawareAges 21–100 - NCT06420310Recruiting
Pesticides and Parkinson's disease study
This study looks at how pesticides might be linked to Parkinson's disease by comparing farmers who have been exposed to pesticides with people who have not been exposed. It aims to help understand what causes the disease.
BurgosAges 45–55 - NCT07849413Recruiting
Visual hallucinations in Lewy body diseases
This study looks at why some people with Lewy body diseases (like Parkinson's or dementia with Lewy bodies) see things that aren't there. It uses brain scans and tests to learn more, which might help improve future care.
New York, New YorkAges 18–90 - NCT07842926Recruiting
Radiofrequency heat therapy for leg stiffness in Parkinson's disease
This study tests a therapy called capacitive-resistive radiofrequency (a type of heat treatment) to see if it helps reduce stiffness in the legs of people with Parkinson's disease. You may receive this therapy during a session, and we will measure how it affects your movement and walking.

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.
