NCT ID NCT07207096
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is observing 100 people with Parkinson's disease who are receiving complementary therapies like homeopathy, herbalism, hypnosis, and healing at a special clinic. Participants also get advice on lifestyle, mindfulness, and diet. The goal is to document their experiences and track changes in symptoms and well-being using standard questionnaires. This is not a treatment trial but an effort to better understand the role of complementary medicine for Parkinson's.
