Scientists hunt for Parkinson's clues with brain scans
NCT ID NCT05518617
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses advanced brain scans (PET, SPECT, and MRI) to find markers of Parkinson's disease in people with certain genetic mutations. Researchers will look at changes in brain chemicals and structure. The goal is to better understand the disease and help develop new treatments that could slow its progression. About 45 participants will be enrolled.
