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 a special camera to take pictures of the retina (the back of the eye) to see if it can help detect Parkinson's disease. You may join a group with Parkinson's or a healthy comparison group.
This study tests whether an eye-tracking device can measure signs of neurological conditions during a routine exam. If you have a neurological disease, you may be able to help by simply looking at a screen.
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 uses a simple eye-tracking test to see if eye movement patterns can help tell the difference between Parkinson's disease and similar conditions like PSP or MSA. It aims to find a faster, easier way to diagnose these disorders.
