NCT ID NCT05913687
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests an AI tool called AIDP that analyzes MRI scans to help diagnose Parkinson's disease and two similar conditions (MSA and PSP). Researchers at 21 sites will compare the AI's diagnosis to that of movement disorder specialists. The goal is to see if the tool can improve diagnostic accuracy.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide doctors with a reliable, automated way to distinguish between Parkinson's disease and similar conditions using MRI scans.
What could go wrong
This is a diagnostic accuracy study, not a treatment trial. The tool may not outperform specialist diagnosis in real-world settings, and results may not apply to all patient populations.
