Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06683365RecruitingPhase 1
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 - NCT06690931Recruiting
Brain training with electrical stimulation and virtual reality for Parkinson's
This study tests a new type of therapy that combines brain training (neurofeedback), mild electrical stimulation to help with movement, and virtual reality exercises. It aims to improve walking and movement for people with Parkinson's disease.
Schiedlberg, Upper AustriaAges 40–80 - NCT06778135Recruiting
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 - NCT06799923Recruiting
MRI-guided laser therapy for hard-to-treat tremor
This trial tests a new, less invasive treatment for severe tremor that hasn't responded to medication. It uses a laser guided by MRI to carefully target and treat the brain area causing tremor, as an alternative to traditional brain surgery.
SalouëlAges 18 years+ - NCT06835595Recruiting
Brain signals as markers of thinking changes in Parkinson's
This study uses a safe, noninvasive brain stimulation method (transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS) to look at brain signals related to thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find a better way to measure cognitive changes over time.
Trieste, Friuli Venezia GiuliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06875765Recruiting
Long-term brain imaging study for Parkinson's patients
This study uses brain scans to look at nerve endings in people with Parkinson's disease over time. It may help researchers understand how the disease progresses.
LeuvenAges 30 years+ - NCT06883266Recruiting
Brain stimulation for movement and fatigue in Parkinson's
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) can help improve movement and reduce fatigue in people with Parkinson's disease. It's an option for those who are not using deep brain stimulation and don't have certain other health conditions.
Fargo, North DakotaAges Any age - NCT06906276Recruiting
Brain activity during walking in atypical Parkinson's
This study looks at brain activity while walking in people with atypical Parkinsonian syndromes like PSP or MSA. It may help understand how these conditions affect walking and balance.
Solna, SolnaAges Any age - NCT06932692Recruiting
Brain network analysis using 7-Tesla MRI in DBS patients

- Are there clinical trials for parkinson's disease and parkinsonism?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 740 recruiting parkinson's disease and 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 parkinson's disease and 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 parkinson's disease and 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.
