Parkinson’s disease clinical trials in Florida
We’re tracking 39 recruiting parkinson’s disease studies with a site in Florida — including Phase 2/Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Florida
- NCT04477785Recruiting
Study to track Parkinson’s signs using imaging, spinal fluid, and genes
This study is building a large, detailed group of people—some with Parkinson’s and some at higher risk—to understand early changes over time. It uses brain imaging (DaTscan SPECT), sometimes spinal fluid tests (lumbar puncture), and genetic information to help researchers better measure disease and develop future treatments.
Boca Raton, FloridaAges 30 years+ - NCT04114994Recruiting
Memory testing study for adults 50 and older
This study checks how people’s thinking and memory change over time using a specific cognitive test. It may help researchers understand patterns of memory change and supports future research on brain health.
Miami, FloridaAges 50 years+ - NCT03664609Recruiting
Study of outcomes for people with deep brain stimulation
This study looks back at results for people who have already had deep brain stimulation (DBS) or could get it. It aims to understand how DBS is used and what outcomes people experience.
Miami, FloridaAges Any age - NCT04071847Recruiting
Study tracking results after Abbott deep brain stimulator surgery
This study follows people who are getting a new Abbott deep brain stimulator (DBS) device or replacing the battery/implantable pulse generator to see how outcomes change over time. It mainly applies to certain DBS targets and diagnoses, and it uses follow-up visits to track results.
Tampa, FloridaAges Any age - NCT04116996Recruiting
Brain stimulation for severe insomnia in Parkinson’s
This trial tests whether stimulating a specific brain area (the globus pallidus) can improve severe insomnia in people who also have Parkinson’s symptoms. You might be considered if your insomnia is very difficult to control and you meet the study’s brain, sleep, and travel requirements.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 40–80 - NCT05292794Recruiting
CereGate therapy for freezing of gait in Parkinson’s
This trial tests whether CereGate therapy can reduce “freezing of gait,” a walking problem, in people with Parkinson’s disease who already have deep brain stimulation (DBS). If you meet the device and medication stability requirements, the study may help your walking and movement symptoms measured during testing.
Miami, FloridaAges 21–80 - NCT07219927Recruiting
Patient experiences with pump-delivered Parkinson's drug
This study looks at real-world experiences of people with Parkinson's who are using ONAPGO, a medication given continuously under the skin through a pump. The goal is to understand how this treatment works in daily life.
Boca Raton, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT02553525Enrolling by invitation
Testing different stimulation patterns in Parkinson’s, tremor, and MS
This study tests whether changing the “stimulation pattern” in a deep brain stimulator can improve how well symptoms are controlled. If you are already getting (or replacing) a deep brain stimulator, this may help fine-tune the settings for you.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 21–80 - NCT07410598Recruiting
Testing a new way to use deep brain stimulation at home
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called patterned stimulation for people with Parkinson's who already have a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device. It aims to see if using this special stimulation at home is safe and comfortable.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT07378813Recruiting
Light vs. heavy weight training for Parkinson's disease
This study compares two types of weight training (lifting lighter weights versus heavier weights) in people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to see which approach best improves movement, strength, and daily function.
Coral Gables, FloridaAges 50–85 - NCT02071134Recruiting
Registry study for Vercise deep brain stimulation patients
This study keeps a record of people who receive the Vercise deep brain stimulation system. It helps doctors learn how the treatment is used in real-world care and how patients do over time.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06815263Recruiting
Listener training to understand speech in Parkinson's
This trial tests a listener training program to help people better understand speech that is hard to understand due to Parkinson's disease. It may help if you have Parkinson's and a speech problem called hyperkinetic dysarthria.
Tallahassee, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07284784RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
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).
Aventura, FloridaAges 40–85 - NCT07348705Recruiting
Testing a new DBS programming method for Parkinson's
This study tests a new way to program deep brain stimulation (DBS) using brain signals, which may improve symptom control. It is for people with Parkinson's who have a Medtronic Percept DBS device and are ready for their first programming session.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 21–89 - NCT02795052Recruiting
Stem cell treatment trial for nerve injury
This study tests whether bone-marrow stem cells can improve nerve function in people with nerve damage that usually doesn’t recover with current care. It also checks whether the treatment is safe and whether people can be followed over time with repeated nerve exams.

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 Florida?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 39 recruiting parkinson’s disease studies with a site in Florida, 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 Florida?
- 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 Florida to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Florida, 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.
Not the right time?
New parkinson’s disease studies open in Florida regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
