Testing treatment for pain and nerve symptoms in Parkinson’s
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at pain and “autonomic” (automatic body) symptoms in people with Parkinson’s disease or a related condition called multiple system atrophy. It aims to understand what helps and to learn more about these symptoms in different types of Parkinson-like illnesses.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease or multiple system atrophy
- Your thinking and memory test score (MMSE) is 10 or higher
- Your Parkinson-like condition is not caused by blood-vessel problems
- Your Parkinson-like symptoms are not caused by medicines
- You do not have diabetes or certain hormone/organ problems (thyroid, liver, or kidney issues)
- You are not taking medicines that could harm the nervous system

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.
This study uses a special brain scan (PET) to look at the serotonin system in people with Parkinson's who have chronic pain. The goal is to understand why some people feel pain and how the brain chemical serotonin might be involved.
This study looks at how people with certain rare brain conditions (like progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal syndrome, or multiple system atrophy) use healthcare services and how their quality of life is affected. It may help doctors better support patients and their carers.
This study collects data from people with Parkinson's disease or multiple system atrophy (MSA) to better understand these conditions. You will have blood, saliva, optional spinal fluid tests, and brain scans (MRI, PET/SPECT).
This study looks at how people with Parkinson’s, treated either with levodopa or deep brain stimulation (DBS), and healthy volunteers experience pain. The goal is to understand how Parkinson’s treatments affect pain perception.
This study uses brain scans and clinical check-ins to better diagnose and predict how Parkinson-related conditions may progress over time. It may help researchers find markers that explain why symptoms change, and could improve future care.
