Supporting patients and families after a Parkinson's diagnosis
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study helps people newly diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and their caregivers by connecting them with support services and resources during the early weeks after diagnosis. The goal is to prevent emotional, social, and practical difficulties that often follow.
