Brain scan for Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new brain scan that may show a protein linked to Parkinson's disease. It could help doctors see the disease better and might lead to earlier diagnosis and better treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease for at least 3 years.
- You have mild to moderate symptoms (Hoehn and Yahr score 2-3).
- You are able to walk independently without frequent falls.
- You do not have significant memory problems (score at least 25 on a memory test).
- You are willing to undergo PET and CT scans.

This study tests a new PET scan tracer called [18F]AV-133 to see if it can track Parkinson's disease over time. The scan may help doctors better understand the disease, and you would be part of the PPMI research program.
This study uses brain scans to understand Parkinson's disease. It compares people with Parkinson's to healthy volunteers to learn how the brain changes.
This trial uses a new imaging agent (like a dye) to see signs of Parkinson's disease in the brain. If you have Parkinson's or a related condition like Lewy body dementia or multiple system atrophy, this scan may help researchers better understand these illnesses.
This trial uses a special brain scan (PET scan) to look at early changes in people who have early signs of Parkinson's disease. The goal is to learn more about how Parkinson's develops over time.
This study uses a special PET scan to measure tau protein buildup in the brain of people with Parkinson's disease (including those with a LRRK2 gene mutation), Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, or Corticobasal Syndrome. It aims to better understand how tau relates to these conditions.
This research study tests a new type of brain scan (called a PET scan) that may help detect early signs of Parkinson's disease and similar conditions. You'll receive the scan and may have a spinal tap to check for specific protein markers.
