Ankara, KeçiörenAges 40 years+ - NCT07641556Recruiting
Remote training for arm movement in Parkinson's disease
This study tests whether doing arm-coordination exercises remotely (via video call) with dual tasks—like moving your arms while counting—can help improve hand function in people with Parkinson's disease. You'd do sessions at home with a caregiver's help.
AnkaraAges 40 years+ - NCT07625540Recruiting
Targeted Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Motor and Non-Motor Symptoms
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (using electrical currents applied through the scalp) aimed at the subthalamic nucleus—a brain region involved in movement control—to help reduce both movement-related symptoms (like tremor and stiffness) and non-movement symptoms (like mood and sleep problems) in people with Parkinson's disease.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 50–85 - NCT07610031Recruiting
Trunk Exercises and Mirror Therapy for Balance in Parkinson's
This study tests whether specific exercises for your trunk (torso) combined with mirror therapy can help improve balance and posture in people with Parkinson's disease. These techniques may help you move more safely and reduce fall risk.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 50–70 - NCT07606547Recruiting
Swallowing Strength Training for Parkinson's Disease
This study tests whether a mouth and throat muscle-strengthening device called EMST helps people with Parkinson's disease who have difficulty swallowing. Stronger throat muscles may make swallowing safer and easier.
MünsterAges 18 years+ - NCT07569133Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation for depression in Parkinson's disease
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help improve depressive symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease. If you have Parkinson's and feel depressed, this treatment might be a new option for you.
Daegu, Buk-guAges 40–90 - NCT07567482Recruiting
Exoskeleton-Assisted Walking for Parkinson's and Aging

Comparing two ways to stimulate the brain for Parkinson's
This trial compares two methods of deep brain stimulation (constant current vs constant voltage) for people with Parkinson's who already have the device placed but haven't turned it on yet. The goal is to see which method works better.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for parkinson’s disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 720 recruiting parkinson’s disease 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 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 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.
