Studying gut bacteria in early parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Mental health clinical trials.
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 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 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 follows people with certain rare brain conditions that affect movement and thinking, such as multiple system atrophy, dementia with Lewy bodies, progressive supranuclear palsy, and corticobasal degeneration. It aims to learn more about how these conditions progress over time, which may help improve future care.
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 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.
This study looks at how changing to a Mediterranean-style diet might affect gut bacteria in people with early Parkinson's. It aims to find early signs of the disease and see if diet can help.
