A study of gene changes in people with Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how the csgA gene changes over time in people with Parkinson's disease, especially if they have stomach or bowel issues. It aims to help understand how these changes might relate to symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease within the last 10 years
- You have or have had stomach or bowel problems, like constipation

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests a new drug called VT-5006 to see if it is safe for people with Parkinson's disease. It focuses on those who have stomach or bowel issues, like constipation.
This study tests whether a special diet can help improve constipation symptoms in people with early-stage Parkinson's disease. It aims to see if changing what you eat can make bowel movements more regular and comfortable.
This study looks at how digestive (gut) problems happen in people with Parkinson’s and whether there are related changes in the nerve tissue in the digestive tract. It may help researchers better understand the cause of these symptoms and find new ways to monitor or treat them.
This study looks for early clues of Parkinson’s disease in people who have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), and compares them with people without IBS. The goal is to understand whether gut symptoms or test results can help spot Parkinson’s earlier.
This trial studies nerve cell “biomarkers” from the gut to learn whether they can help detect Parkinson’s disease (or related conditions) earlier. You may be asked to undergo a colonoscopy to collect gut tissue for testing.
