Parkinson's Gut Health Study for Untreated Patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
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 the germs in your gut and certain chemicals they make, which may relate to Parkinson's disease. It compares people with Parkinson's to healthy people of similar age and body size to see if there are differences.
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.
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.
