Detecting Parkinson's through eye scans
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses a special eye camera to see if early signs of Parkinson's and similar movement disorders can be spotted in the retina. It may help doctors diagnose these conditions sooner and more easily.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease for 5 years or less, or you have a related movement disorder or essential tremor, or you are a healthy volunteer without movement symptoms.
- You do not have serious eye diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, or macular degeneration.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have active infections or severe heart, liver, or kidney problems.

This study uses an eye tracker to collect digital data from parts of the neurological exam. It may help improve how neurological conditions are assessed.
This study uses brain scans to understand Parkinson's disease. It compares people with Parkinson's to healthy volunteers to learn how the brain changes.
This study uses video recordings of your eye movements to learn more about Parkinson’s disease. It may help researchers better tell Parkinson’s apart from other movement conditions and understand how the disease affects the brain early on.
This study uses a simple eye movement test to see if it can help tell the difference between Parkinson's disease, Essential tremor, and healthy people. The goal is to find a better way to diagnose and track these conditions.
This study looks at how the brain's dopamine system works in people with Parkinson's disease by measuring signals from the eyes. It may help find a simple way to track the disease, which could lead to better care.
