Gut health study in people with untreated Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This study is looking to improve how Parkinson’s and related brain conditions are identified and treated sooner. You may be asked to share your health information and provide blood or other samples, and possibly have procedures like a spinal fluid test or a small skin sample.
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 research examines how the gut and brain are connected in Parkinson's disease and aims to better understand the disease. You'd participate in visits and tests over three years, including some involving your digestive system.
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.
This study looks at whether bacteria in the gut are different in people with early Parkinson's disease. It may help us understand the disease better and find new ways to treat it.
