Brazil launches massive Parkinson's database to unlock disease secrets
NCT ID NCT06536348
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is creating a large, open-access database of clinical, motor, and non-motor information from nearly 1,000 people with Parkinson's disease and healthy controls in Brazil. Researchers will collect data through questionnaires, movement tests, and clinical scales. The goal is to better characterize Parkinson's and support future research and technology development.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this database could help researchers better understand Parkinson's disease and develop new tools for diagnosis and treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It collects data but does not test any therapy, so direct patient benefits are not expected.

Inclusion Criteria: * Experimental group: (i) present a neurological diagnosis of Parkinson's disease; (ii) be classified between stages I to IV of the Hoehn \& Yahr Scale; (iii) have central visual acuity equal to or greater than 20/40 (equivalent to 0.50) in each eye or equal to or greater than 20/30 (equivalent to 0.66) in one eye according to the Snellen scale. * Control group: (i) not having a neurological diagnosis of Parkinson's disease or other neurological disease that resembles PD; (ii) have central visual acuity equal to or greater than 20/40 (equivalent to 0.50) in each eye or equal to or greater than 20/30 (equivalent to 0.66) in one eye according to the Snellen scale. Exclusion Criteria: For both groups, individuals who have other neurological or musculoskeletal diseases that interfere with the execution of the tests will be excluded.
