Gut methane and Parkinson's: measuring if a probiotic helps people with Parkinson's, REM sleep behavior disorder, or cognitive concerns
This study tests whether a probiotic containing Limosilactobacillus reuteri can help people with Parkinson's disease, those at high risk for PD, and related cognitive issues by potentially improving gut methane levels and overall symptoms.
-
Mapping optimistic and pessimistic dopamine signals in health and Parkinson's disease
We will try to see if people with Parkinson's disease have a different mix of optimistic and pessimistic dopamine signals than healthy people by measuring brain responses during a reward task in an MRI.
-
Detecting Parkinson's-related alpha-synuclein in colon tissue taken during routine colonoscopy
This will see if small extra colon tissue samples taken during a routine colonoscopy can find phosphorylated alpha-synuclein in people with Parkinson's disease or REM sleep behavior disorder.
-
Detecting phosphorylated alpha-synuclein in colon tissue to help diagnose Parkinson's
This study will test whether routine colonoscopy tissue samples from adults with Parkinson's show phosphorylated alpha-synuclein, a protein linked to the disease.
-
Mediterranean diet for people with Parkinson's disease
This study will try a Mediterranean diet to see if it helps motor and non-motor symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease.
-
Investigating NEU-411 for Early Parkinson's Disease
This study is testing a new drug called NEU-411 to see if it can help people aged 50-80 with early Parkinson's Disease who have a specific genetic marker.
-
Treatment for neurologic disorders using stem cells
This study is testing whether using stem cells from patients' own bone marrow can help improve brain and nerve function in people with serious neurologic disorders that don't respond well to regular treatments.

What phases are they in?
Phase 2: 1. Trials with no phase listed are usually device, behavioural or observational studies.
How do I join one?
Open a study, check the "Is this trial a fit for you?" section, then contact the study team listed on the page. They will ask a few screening questions. Asking is free and does not commit you to anything. Talk it over with your doctor first.
