NCT ID NCT04768647
First seen Dec 11, 2025 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study looked at whether balance and walking problems in people with Parkinson's disease are caused by changes in the inner ear (vestibular system) rather than just a lack of dopamine in the brain. 60 participants with Parkinson's underwent balance tests and brain scans. The goal was to better understand why these issues occur, not to test a new treatment.
