Recruiting studies
- NCT05826457Enrolling by invitation
Study for early RBD as a possible Parkinson’s risk
This study looks at people with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), confirmed by a sleep test, who may be in the early “prodromal” stage before Parkinson’s or related diseases. It also enrolls healthy controls to compare results from brain and body testing to better understand who is at risk.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05721911Recruiting
Study using brain-cell tests to better understand Parkinson’s risk
This study collects blood and related samples to create a “biobank” and uses lab tests to study genetic risk in Parkinson’s disease and idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD). It may help researchers understand why symptoms develop and improve future prevention or treatment approaches.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT05514106Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
MIBG heart scan study for aging and neurologic conditions
This Phase 4 study tests how an iodine-based heart scan (a special imaging test) works in people with certain neurologic diagnoses and aging-related conditions. It may help researchers better understand the heart-brain connection in these disorders and improve future care.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 40–90 - NCT05471960Recruiting
Brain training study in people with REM sleep behavior disorder
This study looks at how the brain changes (“neuroplasticity”) in people diagnosed with isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) using brain stimulation and other testing. Results may help researchers understand brain differences in iRBD and guide future treatments.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 21–75 - NCT03623672Enrolling by invitation
Study for early signs of Parkinson-related brain changes
This study enrolls people with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder, a sleep problem that can come before Parkinson’s disease or related conditions. It aims to better understand early (“prodromal”) changes so future treatments can be targeted earlier.
Sun City, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT01453127Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
DaTscan scan for aging and movement brain conditions
This trial uses a special brain scan called DaTscan to study how certain brain conditions change with aging and over time. It may help researchers better understand movement and other neurodegenerative conditions and who may benefit from future treatments.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 40–90 - NCT01799915Recruiting
Study of causes and progression of synuclein-related nerve conditions
This study follows people over time to better understand “synucleinopathies,” which are conditions that affect the nervous system as it develops and progresses. You may be asked to return for visits and report symptoms, especially those that happen when you stand up.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05986604Recruiting
Improving Sleep and Daily Rhythms for Older Adults
This study tests a treatment that helps improve sleep and daily rhythms, which may also help with memory and moving around. It's for people aged 50+, with low income, who have trouble with mobility and sleep.
Berkeley, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT06032377Recruiting
Online therapy for sleep and brain health in older adults
This study tests an online talk therapy program (CBT) to help older adults with both sleep troubles and mild memory or thinking concerns. It's done from home, and aims to improve sleep and brain health.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 60–99 - NCT06972303RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Mindfulness meditation for insomnia
This trial tests if a mindfulness meditation program, delivered through a mobile app, can help people with chronic insomnia fall asleep faster. You will use your own smartphone or tablet to follow the program and report your sleep.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07582809Recruiting
Digital therapy app for long-term insomnia relief
This study tests a smartphone app called BELL-001 that delivers digital therapy to help people with insomnia sleep better. It looks at how safe and effective the app is over a long period, and may offer an alternative to sleep medications.
IncheonAges 19–75 - NCT06791356Recruiting
Better Sleep for Older African Americans
This study tests a type of talk therapy for insomnia called CBT-I, done over Zoom. It's for older African Americans who have had trouble sleeping for at least three months.
Newark, New JerseyAges 60 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for rem sleep behavior disorder?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 36 recruiting rem sleep behavior disorder 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 rem sleep behavior disorder 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 rem sleep behavior disorder 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.
