Comparing two tremor medications for Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial compares two commonly used medications, benzhexol and procyclidine, to see which works better for controlling tremor in people with Parkinson's disease. If you have bothersome tremors despite your current levodopa/carbidopa treatment, this study could help find a more effective option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and tremor is a main symptom.
- You are between 40 and 70 years old.
- Your Parkinson's is at an early or moderate stage (Hoehn and Yahr stages 1–3).
- You are currently taking only levodopa/carbidopa, and you still have a resting tremor.
- You do not have any significant memory/thinking problems, urinary issues, prostate enlargement, narrow-angle glaucoma, or heart disease.

This trial tests a new drug, PDR-001, to see if it can safely remove harmful proteins from the brain in people with early Parkinson's disease. It may help slow down the disease.
This study is testing an investigational drug for Parkinson's-related tremor (shaking). It aims to see if the drug can help reduce tremor in people whose symptoms are not fully controlled by current treatment.
This study tests a new once-daily pill called BHV-8000 in people who were recently diagnosed with early Parkinson's disease and are not yet on medication. The goal is to see if it can slow the progression of symptoms and improve quality of life.
This trial tests a new study drug (BP1.4979) to see if it can reduce shaking in people with essential tremor. It's for people who have had arm tremors for at least 3 years and have not had surgery for tremor.
This trial tests whether botulinum toxin type A injections can reduce shaking (tremor) in the hand or arm that does not improve with standard Parkinson's medications. It aims to see if this treatment can provide relief for people with difficult-to-control tremor.
This trial tests several experimental drugs at once to find new treatments for Parkinson's disease. If you have Parkinson's and take medication, you may be able to join and help speed up research.
