There are currently 40 active clinical trials seeking participants for Parkinson's Disease research studies. The states with the highest number of trials for Parkinson's Disease participants are Florida, California, New York and Texas.
PET Imaging Evaluation of [11C]SY08
NCT06098612
Recruiting
The overall goal of the proposed research is to evaluate the use of [11C]SY08 as a PET radiotracer for aggregated alpha synuclein (αS) in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD), Multiple system atrophy (MSA), Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) and healthy controls. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of [11C]SY08 as a PET radiotracer for αS fibrils in individuals with PD, MSA, DLB and healthy controls. The specific aims of the current study are: To determine brain uptake, distribu... Read More

Effect of Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine on Constipation in Parkinson's Disease
NCT02344485
Recruiting
The aim of this pilot study is to investigate the effect of Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) in decreasing constipation symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). A second but optional aim is to determine if OMM changes the bacterial flora of the mouth and gut. OMM is a safe and gentle manual treatment provided by osteopathic physicians. All participants will receive OMM during the second half of the eleven week trial.

Imaging a Cholinergic Biomarker of Cognition in Parkinson's Disease
NCT05034263
Recruiting
This is an imaging study designed to illuminate the function of the cholinergic system and its association with cognitive skills in people with Parkinson's disease. The hypothesis of this study is that there will be an association between cholinergic terminal density, sex hormones, and cognitive functioning. Participants will receive a PET and MRI scan along with a battery of neurocognitive tests at baseline and again at 18 months follow-up. Hormone levels will be measured at baseline.

Modifiable Variables in Parkinsonism (MVP)
NCT02194816
Recruiting
We are trying to identify factors associated with improved quality of life and fewer PD symptoms. We are attempting to identify practices, beliefs, and therapies used by individuals who report excellent quality of life, few PD symptoms, and reduced rates of progression. After agreeing to participate, we will ask participants to fill our questionnaires about their experience with PD, their health in general, along with their food intake every six months for five years.
