How sex affects Parkinson's disease progression
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether being male or female changes how Parkinson's disease worsens over time. It uses various tests to track changes in the brain and body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at a short questionnaire (Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-8) that measures how Parkinson's affects your daily life. The goal is to find out the smallest change in the questionnaire that really matters to patients.
This study looks at whether physical activity can reduce inflammation in the brain for people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to understand how exercise might help slow the progression of the disease.
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 trial tests whether a strength training program can improve function and body chemistry in people with Parkinson's. It may help if you are in the middle stages of the disease and have stable motor symptoms.
This study looks at how Parkinson's disease affects thinking, movement, and brain health differently depending on whether it starts in the brain or the body first. Participants will have tests and scans to track these differences over time.
This study looks at how changes in movement symptoms and non-movement symptoms happen together in people with early Parkinson disease. It may help doctors better understand what triggers symptom “ups and downs” and how to time treatment or monitoring.
