The state of Massachusetts currently has 28 active clinical trials seeking participants for Parkinson's Disease research studies. These trials are conducted in various cities, including Boston, Worcester, Springfield and Burlington.
An RCT of a Telemedicine Intervention for Hypokinetic Dysarthria in PD
NCT04617496
Recruiting
Nearly 90% of people with Parkinson's disease have speech and voice disorders that negatively impact their ability to communicate effectively in daily life. This study will test the hypothesis that a combined speech and exercise intervention will improve speech intelligibility in people with Parkinson's disease and speech impairment. This approach would offer an affordable way to continue to both instruct and encourage training by Veterans virtually indefinitely through the remote access technol... Read More

Perception in Parkinson's Disease
NCT05483036
Recruiting
The investigators plan to examine the relation of perceptual variables-basic vision, unusual perceptual experiences(including but not limited to visual hallucinations)-to relevant functional variables such as cognition, mood, and alertness/sleepiness in an online sample of persons with Parkinson's disease (PwPD). It is hypothesized that unusual perceptual experiences will relate significantly to the selected variables. Participants do not need to experience visual hallucinations to be able to pa... Read More
