Finding early signs of Parkinson's and related diseases
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at cells from the nose, blood, and urine to find early markers for Parkinson's disease, similar conditions, and memory problems linked to Lewy bodies. If you have one of these conditions, joining could help improve early diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease according to specific criteria.
- You have multiple system atrophy (MSA) or dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB).
- You have a known cause of ataxia (problems with coordination), or have progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, or motor neuron disease.
- You are willing to provide samples of your nose lining, blood, and urine.

This trial uses new technology (like sensors or apps) to help diagnose and monitor Parkinson's disease early. Researchers want to see if a simple, widespread healthcare service model can improve care. Both people with Parkinson's and healthy volunteers are needed.
This study is looking for people with neurodegenerative diseases (like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS) to help researchers find new markers in the body that could help understand these conditions better and possibly lead to better treatments.
This trial is collecting saliva samples from people with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or other brain diseases to find new ways to diagnose them. It may help improve early detection.
This study tracks changes in people with Parkinson's disease, other movement disorders, or cognitive decline to find better ways to measure disease progression.
This study looks for a new blood marker that could help doctors detect Parkinson’s disease earlier. Depending on your diagnosis and treatment status, your blood may be compared with other people’s to see how well the test works.
This trial looks at how analyzing hand movements might help doctors tell the difference between Parkinson's disease and other similar conditions early on. It may help improve diagnosis so patients get the right care sooner.
