PARKINSONS DISEASE (PD)

This study is testing whether transplanting specially grown brain cells into people with Parkinson's disease can improve their movement and reduce symptoms. About 102 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the cell transplant or a sham surgery for comparison, an…

This large UK trial is testing whether two existing drugs, telmisartan and terazosin, can slow down the progression of Parkinson's disease. It will involve 1,200 people with Parkinson's who are already on standard medication. The trial uses an efficient design to test multiple tr…

This study is testing a new type of hand therapy for people with early-stage Parkinson's disease. It combines video game exercises (exergaming) with the use of real physical objects like blocks and cups. Researchers want to see if this 'phygital' approach is better at improving h…

This study is testing whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help people with Parkinson's disease move better and feel less tired. Researchers will use a device that delivers a very mild electrical current to the scalp to stimulate brain areas involved in mo…

This study is testing whether a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the ear can improve thinking skills like decision-making and problem-solving. Researchers are enrolling 80 healthy adults and people with Parkinson's disease to try this non-invasive stimulation during brain…

This study uses brain scans to investigate a recently discovered brain system called SCAN, which researchers believe may be a key area affected in Parkinson's disease. The research involves 120 participants, including people with Parkinson's and healthy volunteers, who will under…

This study aims to understand how common and variable a specific gut bacteria gene called csgA is in people with Parkinson's Disease who also have digestive issues. Researchers will collect stool samples from 200 participants over time to measure this gene. The goal is to gather …

This study aims to understand why swallowing difficulties, a common and dangerous problem in Parkinson's disease, occur. Researchers will examine 100 Parkinson's patients using swallowing tests, brain scans, and blood tests to find biological markers and see how the brain might t…
