Study brain changes in Parkinson-related dementia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at brain features linked to dementia in people who have Parkinson disease. It may help researchers understand why dementia happens in Parkinson and how it could be detected or treated in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Parkinson disease and certain movement signs that a study doctor can check
- You must be able to stay very still for about 90 minutes
- You must be willing to have brain MRI scans
- You should not have a major brain condition other than Parkinson or dementia (like stroke or multiple sclerosis)
- You should not have serious health problems that could make the study unsafe
- You must agree to brain donation after death if asked

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.
This study uses a special PET scan to look for signs of brain inflammation in people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to understand how inflammation relates to Parkinson's and may help in developing new treatments.
This study uses advanced brain scans to find early signs of nerve damage in people with Parkinson's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, and healthy volunteers. It aims to discover new markers that could help diagnose these conditions earlier.
This study uses brain imaging and tests to better understand Parkinson's disease and related conditions. It aims to improve diagnosis by comparing scans across different groups of people.
This study looks at how people with Parkinson’s adapt their movements and how their brain sensorimotor system works. It may help researchers improve understanding of Parkinson’s and refine movement-focused therapies.
This study uses a special PET scan to look at inflammation in the brain of people with Parkinson's disease or those at risk for it. The goal is to better understand the disease and possibly find new ways to track its progression.
