First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a tool called PARKINSUN that helps people with Parkinson's disease communicate better with their doctors during visits. 120 participants will be split into two groups: one uses PARKINSUN during appointments, the other does not. The goal is to see if the tool improves patient-centered care and satisfaction.
