Study early Parkinson signs in people with IBS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks for early clues of Parkinson’s disease in people who have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), and compares them with people without IBS. The goal is to understand whether gut symptoms or test results can help spot Parkinson’s earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must match one group: Parkinson’s disease, IBS, or healthy control
- You must be within the required age range for your group (IBS: 18–85; Parkinson’s: 45–85; controls: 18–85)
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis if you’re in the Parkinson’s or IBS group
- You must sign the study consent form
- You must avoid certain recent medicines or supplements (like antibiotics within 12 weeks or specific gut/mood supplements within 4 weeks)
- You cannot have certain conditions that could interfere (like major psychiatric illness, epilepsy, recent brain bleeding, or smoking/tobacco)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies nerve cell “biomarkers” from the gut to learn whether they can help detect Parkinson’s disease (or related conditions) earlier. You may be asked to undergo a colonoscopy to collect gut tissue for testing.
This study looks at stool (poop) samples to understand differences in gut bacteria in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), depending on whether they’ve had treatment. It may help researchers find better ways to explain IBS and improve care.
This study looks at how digestive (gut) problems happen in people with Parkinson’s and whether there are related changes in the nerve tissue in the digestive tract. It may help researchers better understand the cause of these symptoms and find new ways to monitor or treat them.
This study looks at how certain gut bacteria (methanogens) are involved in the progression of Parkinson's disease and related conditions. It aims to understand the connection between gut health and brain health, which may lead to better treatments.
This study looks for signs in your body—like breath and blood tests—that can show how well you are following a special diet for IBS. It aims to find better ways to track diet compliance, which could help make dietary treatments more effective.
This study follows people with Parkinson’s to see how “I2BS” changes over time using special brain scans and other tests. It may help researchers better understand Parkinson’s and improve how it’s measured in future trials.
