Brain waste clearance study for early Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to help the brain clear out waste proteins that build up in Parkinson's disease. You will wear a mask and a gentle neck device while the research team measures how well your brain's plumbing works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 60 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with early-stage Parkinson's disease and are not yet taking any Parkinson's medications.
- You can speak and understand English, and are able to give your consent.
- You are comfortable wearing a face mask, monitoring sensors, and a gentle nerve stimulation device on your neck.
- You do not have serious heart, lung, or blood pressure problems, and no implanted electrical devices like pacemakers.

This study tests a gentle, non-invasive nerve stimulation device worn on the neck (vagus nerve stimulation) to see if it helps with non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's, such as mood, sleep, or digestion. You would use the device at home and attend scheduled visits to track your progress.
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 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 trial tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation method guided by MRI to see if it can improve Parkinson's symptoms. It may be an option for people who respond well to their current Parkinson's medications.
This study looks at how the brain controls breathing in people with Parkinson's disease compared to healthy volunteers. It may help us understand breathing problems that can occur in Parkinson's.
This study looks at how people with Parkinson’s adapt their movements and how their brain sensorimotor system works. It may help researchers improve understanding of Parkinson’s and refine movement-focused therapies.
