Brain activity and movement control in Parkinson's
This study looks at how the brain controls movement in people with Parkinson's disease, including those who have had deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. It involves recording brain activity and may help doctors understand how to improve treatment.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 45–75 - NCT06248073Recruiting
Online program and task training for Parkinson's disease
This study tests an online program and task-based training to help people with mild Parkinson's disease improve their movement and reaching ability. It is designed for people who can still sit and reach for objects without major tremors or other health problems.
Linkou DistrictAges 45–70 - NCT06295614Recruiting
ARC-IM therapy for walking problems in Parkinson's
This study tests a new therapy called ARC-IM to help with walking issues like freezing or balance problems in people with Parkinson's. It aims to see if the therapy is safe and can improve movement.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18 years+ - NCT06323278Recruiting
Thinking and memory training for Parkinson's disease
This study tests whether a thinking-and-memory training program (cognitive stimulation) can help people with Parkinson's who have mild memory or thinking problems, but not dementia. You must not have had deep brain stimulation surgery.
MilanAges 18–80 - NCT06329726Recruiting
Thinking and memory after brain stimulation for Parkinson's
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease over time. It compares results from people who have DBS and those who receive only medication.
Milan, LombardyAges 18–70 - NCT06356662RecruitingPhase 1
Testing tenofovir for Parkinson's disease
This trial is testing if a medicine called tenofovir, usually used for HIV and hepatitis B, can help people with early-stage Parkinson's disease. It's for people who are under 65 and have no other major health issues.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–65 - NCT06383247Recruiting
Precision TMS for parkinson's motor symptoms
This trial tests a precise form of brain stimulation (called TMS) to see if it can improve movement problems like stiffness, slowness, or tremors in people with Parkinson's disease. Participants must have a stable medication routine and no metal implants or brain surgery history.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 40 years+ - NCT06385184Recruiting
Social life and quality of life in Parkinson's
This study looks at how social life and quality of life are affected in Parkinson's disease. It compares people with Parkinson's to those without to better understand these changes.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 40 years+ - NCT06386497Recruiting
Bed for better sleep in Parkinson's disease
This study tests a special bed (Somnomat Casa) to help improve sleep in people with Parkinson's disease. It looks at whether the bed is comfortable and acceptable to use.
BernAges 18–85 - NCT06388863Recruiting
Fecal transplant for constipation in Parkinson's disease
This study tests whether a treatment called fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) can help relieve constipation in people with Parkinson's disease. FMT uses healthy donor stool to improve gut bacteria, which may ease constipation and possibly improve Parkinson's symptoms.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 40–75 - NCT06399731Recruiting
Brain stimulation for mild thinking problems in Parkinson's
This trial tests if non-invasive brain stimulation can help with memory and thinking problems (mild cognitive impairment) in people with Parkinson's disease. It uses magnetic pulses and mild electrical current to stimulate the brain over a few weeks.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges Any age - NCT06416345Recruiting
Cue2Walk: Freezing detection and cues for Parkinson's walking
This study tests whether a new device called Cue2Walk can help people with Parkinson's disease who have freezing of gait. The device detects when you freeze and sends a signal (like a beep) to help you start walking again. Researchers want to see if it is worth the cost compared to your usual care.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges Any age - NCT06444685Recruiting
Table Tennis for Parkinson's Disease
This trial tests whether playing table tennis can help people with Parkinson's disease improve their movement and quality of life. If you join, you'll play table tennis regularly, and researchers will see how it affects you.
LleidaAges 40–80 - NCT06446505Recruiting
Decision aid for deep brain stimulation in Parkinson's
This study tests a decision aid to help people with Parkinson's disease who are being considered for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. The goal is to see if the tool helps patients make more informed choices about their treatment.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06453226Recruiting
Detecting Parkinson's disease through skin and breath smells
This study looks for unique smells given off by the skin and breath of people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see if a simple, non-invasive test could help diagnose the condition.
LondonAges 18–90 - NCT06455293RecruitingPhase 2
Psilocybin therapy for depression in Parkinson's disease
This study tests whether psilocybin, a substance found in certain mushrooms, can help improve depression in people with Parkinson's disease. If you have Parkinson's and are feeling depressed, this treatment may offer a new option.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 40–80 - NCT06456684Recruiting
AV133 PET scan study in early Parkinson's disease
This study uses a special PET scan to look at a protein (VMAT2) in the brain that is linked to Parkinson's disease. It helps researchers understand early changes in people with newly diagnosed Parkinson's or those at high risk of developing it.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 30 years+ - NCT06459154Recruiting
Mixed reality for better quality of life in Parkinson's
This trial uses a special mixed-reality headset to help people with Parkinson's disease improve their walking and quality of life. It may be a good fit if you can walk independently and speak Greek.
Nicosia, EngomiAges 60–100 - NCT06464029Recruiting
Balance and walking study in Parkinson's disease
This study looks at balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. It uses simple tests to understand what causes trouble with standing and walking, which may help find better treatments.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 45–80 - NCT06485986Recruiting
Brain Networks in Parkinson's and DBS
This study uses a brain scan called MEG to look at how Parkinson's disease and impulse control disorders affect brain networks in people who have already had deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. You will be asked to delay your morning medication so the researchers can study your brain without the effects of the drugs.
OxfordAges 18 years+ - NCT06490861Recruiting
Testing a sleeve to track Parkinson's symptoms
This study tests a special sleeve that measures and tracks Parkinson's movement symptoms like stiffness, shaking, and slowness. It aims to see if the sleeve can help monitor your condition at home.
MadridAges 50 years+ - NCT06506058Recruiting
Study on balance and brain in Parkinson's freezing of gait
This study looks at how the balance system and brain work together to cause freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease. By understanding these factors, researchers hope to find better ways to help people walk more steadily.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 21–80 - NCT06518824Recruiting
Theta brain stimulation to boost thinking in Parkinson's

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for parkinson’s disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 739 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.
