Brain inflammation imaging in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years old or older and have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
- You are 50 years old or older and do not have Parkinson's disease or a family history of it.
- You do not have any other major brain or nervous system conditions like stroke, seizures, or multiple sclerosis.
- You have not had brain surgery or a serious head injury.
- You are not currently taking strong anti-inflammatory or immune-modulating medications.
- You can safely undergo an MRI scan (no metal implants or claustrophobia) and your weight is under 300 pounds.

This study uses special brain scans (PET/MR) to see inflammation in people with Parkinson’s disease or related conditions. It may help researchers better understand what drives symptoms and how inflammation changes in the brain.
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.
This research study tests a new type of brain scan (called a PET scan) that may help detect early signs of Parkinson's disease and similar conditions. You'll receive the scan and may have a spinal tap to check for specific protein markers.
This trial looks at brain inflammation in people with Parkinson’s using a special PET scan. The goal is to understand how brain immune activity may relate to Parkinson’s, and how the scan results change over time.
This study uses brain scans to look at nerve endings in people with Parkinson's disease over time. It may help researchers understand how the disease progresses.
This trial uses advanced PET and MR scans to better understand and diagnose brain diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, epilepsy, and brain tumors. It may help identify new ways to track these conditions.
