NCT ID NCT04566341

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study aims to see if a special camera pill can safely take pictures of the esophagus in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers want to find out if nerve changes in the gut can be seen and compared to healthy people. About 20 adults with Parkinson's will swallow a tiny camera to capture images. This is an observational study, not a treatment, and may help doctors better understand gut problems in Parkinson's.
