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.

Buntanetap for Parkinson's disease study
This trial tests an investigational drug called buntanetap in people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to see if the drug can improve symptoms. There are two groups: those who've taken buntanetap before (Cohort 1) and those with a deep brain stimulator (DBS) implant for at least a year (Cohort 2).

What taking part in a parkinson’s disease study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there parkinson’s disease clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 51 recruiting parkinson’s disease studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a parkinson’s disease study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a parkinson’s disease trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
