7-Tesla MRI study of Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses a very powerful 7-Tesla MRI machine to take detailed pictures of the brain in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to better understand changes in the brain and possibly find new ways to track the disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease from a neurologist who specializes in movement disorders.
- You cannot have other brain conditions like stroke, brain tumor, epilepsy, or another brain disease like Alzheimer's.
- You cannot have a psychiatric condition that affects memory or thinking, such as severe depression or schizophrenia.
- You must be able to have an MRI scan safely (no pacemaker, metal implants, or severe claustrophobia).

This study uses a powerful MRI scanner to look at the brain in people with hepatic encephalopathy, a condition that can cause confusion and other brain problems when the liver doesn't work well. The goal is to better understand brain changes, which might lead to better diagnosis and treatment in the future.
This study uses advanced brain imaging (7-Tesla MRI and MEG) to understand how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects brain networks in people with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor. It helps doctors learn how DBS works so they can improve treatment in the future.
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.
This study looks for early signs of nerve cell damage in the brain using a powerful MRI scanner. It may help better understand Parkinson's disease and similar conditions, which could lead to earlier diagnosis in the future.
This study uses a very strong MRI (7-tesla) to analyze how parts of the brain connect in people with Parkinson’s who already have deep brain stimulation (DBS). It may help researchers better understand DBS and how it works in the brain.
This study uses a special 7‑Tesla MRI brain scan to measure tiny chemical (metabolite) differences in specific deep brain areas. It compares newly diagnosed, early-stage Parkinson’s patients who are not on Parkinson medication with healthy volunteers.
