How beliefs affect hallucinations in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how your past experiences and expectations might influence visual hallucinations if you have Parkinson's disease. It involves cognitive tests and compares people with and without hallucinations, as well as healthy volunteers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have Parkinson's disease (with or without visual hallucinations) OR you are a healthy volunteer.
- You are able to do thinking and memory tests (like questionnaires).
- You do not have dementia.
- You are not currently in another drug trial.
- If you are a healthy volunteer, you have no history of diagnosed brain or nerve disorders.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at brain signals recorded by a Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) device in people with Parkinson's disease who also experience hallucinations, impulse control disorder, or panic disorder (episodic anxiety). The goal is to better understand these symptoms and potentially improve future treatments.
This study tests a questionnaire about thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to see how well the questionnaire works and may help doctors better understand cognitive changes in Parkinson's.
This study looks at how people with schizophrenia process sensory information and make predictions. It aims to understand disruptions in these processes to improve future treatments.
This study uses brain scans (MRI) to look at a part of the brain called the inferior colliculi in people with schizophrenia who hear voices. The goal is to learn more about why auditory hallucinations happen, which could lead to better treatments in the future.
This study uses brain scans to understand how people with Parkinson's disease process social cues, like faces and emotions. It may help researchers learn more about how Parkinson's affects social thinking.
This study tests if a special type of brain stimulation (called HD-tDCS) can reduce hallucinations in people with schizophrenia who haven't gotten enough relief from medication. It uses a mild electrical current to target brain areas involved in hallucinations.
