Pesticides and Parkinson's disease study
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how pesticides might be linked to Parkinson's disease by comparing farmers who have been exposed to pesticides with people who have not been exposed. It aims to help understand what causes the disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a farmer who has been exposed to pesticides (for the case group) or have never been exposed to pesticides through work (for the control group)
- You must be able to sign a consent form to participate
- You should not have other significant neurological conditions (only Parkinson's disease is allowed)

This study follows people with Parkinson's disease over time to understand how the disease progresses and changes. Researchers will collect information about your symptoms, brain health, and overall wellness to help improve future treatments.
This study looks at the germs in your gut and certain chemicals they make, which may relate to Parkinson's disease. It compares people with Parkinson's to healthy people of similar age and body size to see if there are differences.
This study is looking to improve how Parkinson’s and related brain conditions are identified and treated sooner. You may be asked to share your health information and provide blood or other samples, and possibly have procedures like a spinal fluid test or a small skin sample.
This study compares people with Parkinson's disease to healthy volunteers, looking at possible links between the gut and Parkinson's. If you have mild to moderate Parkinson's (or are a healthy match), you may help researchers understand what causes the disease.
This study tests a training program to help farmers use pesticides more safely and improve food safety practices. If you are an adult farmer who handles pesticides, this trial may help you learn safer methods.
This study looks at how bacteria in the gut and the gut barrier work in people with early Parkinson's disease who have not yet taken medication. It also compares them to healthy people of similar age.
