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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how bacteria in the gut and the gut barrier work in people with early Parkinson's disease who have not yet taken medication. It also compares them to healthy people of similar age.
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 explores how switching to a Mediterranean-style diet may affect gut bacteria and early-stage Parkinson's symptoms. You may qualify if you have mild to moderate Parkinson's, can walk without help, and are willing to follow a Mediterranean diet and provide stool samples.
