Gut-Brain Connection Study in Parkinson's Disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This study looks at how certain gut bacteria (methanogens) are involved in the progression of Parkinson's disease and related conditions. It aims to understand the connection between gut health and brain health, which may lead to better treatments.
This study looks at how diet and the bacteria in your gut (microbiome) affect Parkinson's symptoms. You'll work with a coach and take cooking classes to see if changing what you eat can help you feel better.
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut might talk to your brain in Parkinson's disease. By understanding this 'gut-brain connection', researchers hope to find new ways to treat or manage PD symptoms.
This study uses digital tools and brain markers to detect Parkinson's disease early. It includes healthy people, those with early Parkinson's, and those with REM sleep behavior disorder (a possible early sign).
This study follows people with Parkinson's disease over time to learn more about the condition and how it progresses. By joining, you can help researchers better understand Parkinson's and improve future care.
