Magnetic brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease pain
This trial tests a special type of magnetic brain stimulation (called TMS) to see if it can help with Parkinson's disease and the pain that often comes with it. You must have had Parkinson's for at least 3 years, have frequent pain, and be on stable medications.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 40–80 - NCT07024875Recruiting
Brain imaging study for Parkinson's disease
This study uses brain scans to understand Parkinson's disease. It compares people with Parkinson's to healthy volunteers to learn how the brain changes.
St Louis, MissouriAges 40 years+ - NCT06848205Recruiting
Brain pacemaker study for freezing of gait in Parkinson's
This study looks at how a special brain pacemaker (called the Medtronic Percept device) affects walking problems like freezing of gait in people with Parkinson's. It aims to help understand and improve treatment.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 21–75 - NCT06848257Enrolling by invitation
Posture exercises for Parkinson's disease
This trial studies whether specific posture exercises can help people with Parkinson's disease improve their balance and movement. It is designed for people who are in the early to moderate stages of the disease and do not have other major health issues.
AnkaraAges 50 years+ - NCT06425731Recruiting
Dance and energy in Parkinson's disease
This study looks at how dancing affects energy use in people with Parkinson's. If you already take Dance for PD® classes and have mild to moderate Parkinson's, researchers want to see how your body responds during a dance class.

A pilot trial of the MemorEM device for neurological diseases
This trial tests a device called MemorEM to see how patients with neurological diseases like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's experience it. It aims to understand if the device is comfortable and easy to use.
Tampa, FloridaAges 45–100 - NCT07324330Recruiting
Slowing cognitive decline with exercise in iRBD
This study tests if increasing physical activity can help slow down cognitive (thinking) decline in people with iRBD, a sleep disorder that often leads to Parkinson's or dementia. You'll use a smartphone and a FitBit to track your activity and receive coaching.
Bonn, North Rhine West-FaliaAges 50–80 - NCT07644013Recruiting
Multiple System Atrophy Registry Study in China
This study is collecting information from patients with multiple system atrophy (a rare neurological condition affecting movement and body functions), Parkinson disease, and healthy volunteers to better understand these conditions. By participating, you help doctors learn more about how these diseases develop and progress.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 40–75 - NCT07636720Recruiting
Sleep monitoring with Parkinson's deep brain stimulation device
This study uses a special sensing device in your existing Parkinson's deep brain stimulation implant to monitor your sleep patterns. Researchers want to understand how sleep and the stimulation device interact, which could help improve treatment for Parkinson's patients.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for parkinson’s disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 723 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.
