First seen Apr 04, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This early-stage study tests whether implanting a small piece of the participant's own leg nerve into a key brain area is safe and feasible for people with early Parkinson's disease or Multiple System Atrophy. Seven volunteers will take part; four will receive the nerve graft and three will have a sham surgery. The goal is to see if the procedure can be done safely and to gather initial data for future research.
