CLINICAL TRIALS
Active clinical trials and verified researcher listings for Parkinson's Disease, simplified into plain English.
ABOUT PARKINSON'S DISEASE
Parkinson's disease (PD), or simply Parkinson's, is a neurodegenerative disease primarily of the central nervous system, affecting both motor and non-motor systems. The motor symptoms, collectively called parkinsonism, include tremors, slowness in initiating movement (bradykinesia), rigidity, and difficulty maintaining balance. Non-motor symptoms such as autonomic nervous system failures (dysautonomia), sleep abnormalities, decreased ability to smell (anosmia), and behavioral changes or neuropsychiatric problems, such as cognitive impairment, psychosis, and anxiety, may appear at any stage of the disease. Symptoms typically develop gradually, and non-motor issues become more prevalent as the disease progresses.

ACTIVELY RECRUITING TRIALS
COMMON QUESTIONS
Are there clinical trials currently recruiting for Parkinson's Disease?
Yes. This page displays actively recruiting Parkinson's Disease clinical trials sourced in real time from ClinicalTrials.gov. Use the filters to narrow by phase, status, and location.
How do I join a clinical trial for Parkinson's Disease?
Browse the trials listed above, review the eligibility criteria for each study, and submit a contact request directly to the research team. You can also speak to your physician about a referral.
Are Parkinson's Disease clinical trials free to participate in?
Most clinical trials cover the cost of the investigational treatment and all study-related visits. Some studies also offer compensation for time and travel. Always confirm costs and insurance coverage with the trial coordinator before enrolling.
What eligibility requirements apply to Parkinson's Disease trials?
Requirements vary by study. Common criteria include a confirmed Parkinson's Disease diagnosis, age range, prior treatments, and general health status. Each trial listing shows its specific inclusion and exclusion criteria.
What phases of Parkinson's Disease trials are available?
Parkinson's Disease trials span Phase I (safety testing), Phase II (effectiveness), Phase III (comparison to standard care), and Phase IV (post-approval monitoring). Phase II and III trials are most commonly open to new participants.
