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 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 looks at the gut and intestinal lining in people with Parkinson's who have not yet started treatment, compared with healthy people. It may help us understand how the gut relates to Parkinson's and could lead to better treatments.
This study follows people with Parkinson's disease over time to learn more about the condition and how it progresses. By joining, you can help researchers better understand Parkinson's and improve future care.
This study is building a large, detailed group of people—some with Parkinson’s and some at higher risk—to understand early changes over time. It uses brain imaging (DaTscan SPECT), sometimes spinal fluid tests (lumbar puncture), and genetic information to help researchers better measure disease and develop future treatments.
This trial tests a new drug, PDR-001, to see if it can safely remove harmful proteins from the brain in people with early Parkinson's disease. It may help slow down the disease.
This trial studies genetic and biological samples from people with Parkinson's disease, their at-risk relatives, and healthy volunteers. It aims to find biomarkers that could help with earlier diagnosis and better treatments.
