Optimizing deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease
This study is for people with Parkinson's disease who already have a deep brain stimulator (a device that sends electrical pulses to the brain) and still have motor fluctuations (times when symptoms come and go). The researchers want to see if adapting the device's settings can better control symptoms than the current standard settings.
Davis, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07798700Recruiting
Biofluid research for brain and movement disorders
This study collects blood, spinal fluid, and other samples from people with brain or movement disorders, their family members, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to find better ways to diagnose and understand these conditions.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07780461Recruiting
Testing a physical function assessment for Parkinson's disease
This study is testing a set of physical tests (called the Short Physical Performance Battery) to see if they are a good way to measure physical function in people with Parkinson's disease. By participating, you help doctors better understand how to assess mobility and balance in Parkinson's, which could improve future care.
Pontevedra, PontevedraAges 18 years+ - NCT07777419Recruiting
Thinking and mood after brain stimulation for Parkinson's
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (a treatment that uses mild electrical pulses to help control movement) affects thinking and mood in people with Parkinson's disease. It is a joint study by a Swiss university hospital that uses records from usual care and tests over time.
BernAges 18–75 - NCT06540989RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Speech therapy with computer feedback for Parkinson's
This study tests a new speech therapy approach for people with Parkinson's disease who have mild to moderate speech problems. It uses a computer program that listens to your speech and helps you practice speaking more clearly.
New York, New YorkAges 50–80 - NCT06580977Recruiting
Exercise and memory in Parkinson's disease
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can improve memory and thinking in people with Parkinson's disease. You may be able to join if you are between 50 and 80, have mild to moderate Parkinson's, and can walk independently.
Heidelberg, Baden-WurttembergAges 50–80 - NCT05854524Recruiting
Exercise program to protect the brain in Parkinson’s disease
