Shoulder Problems in Parkinson's Disease Study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at why people with Parkinson's disease develop shoulder problems. If you have Parkinson's and are over 50, you may join whether or not you have shoulder pain—researchers want to compare both groups to find risk factors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 50 years or older.
- You must be diagnosed with Parkinson's disease using standard criteria.
