Memory of Places and Spaces in Parkinson's Disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with Parkinson's disease and related conditions remember places and spaces. It is an observational study, so there is no treatment involved; researchers will simply test your memory and compare results with healthy volunteers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 35 and 80 years old.
- You must have a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, or progressive supranuclear palsy.
- You must be able to walk 10 meters (about 33 feet) without a walker or cane.
- You cannot have severe memory or thinking problems (scores on standard tests must be above certain levels).
- You cannot have another neurological condition, significant depression, or a muscle/bone problem that affects walking.

This study uses brain scans and clinical check-ins to better diagnose and predict how Parkinson-related conditions may progress over time. It may help researchers find markers that explain why symptoms change, and could improve future care.
This study tests how well remote monitoring tools, like wearable devices, can track symptoms in people with movement disorders like PSP, Parkinson's disease, or MSA. The goal is to see if these tools can help doctors better understand how the disease progresses from home.
This study looks at how common mild cognitive impairment and dementia are in people staying in rehabilitation units for heart, lung, or orthopedic problems. It aims to understand memory and thinking issues that may be overlooked in these settings.
This study uses a special brain wave test (high-density EEG) to learn more about mild memory problems and how they might be linked to Parkinson's disease. If you join, you'll help researchers understand brain activity patterns that could lead to better diagnosis and care.
This trial tests a new way to help people with mild memory problems improve their sense of direction and navigation. You will be asked to do tasks while wearing a special cap that records brain activity, to see how your brain responds to spatial challenges.
This study measures brain activity while you walk using a noninvasive light sensor setup. Researchers want to see how Parkinson’s medication and simple “walking cues” change balance and brain signals.
