What this research studies
This core helps researchers at the University of Michigan collect detailed health information from individuals with Parkinson's disease and healthy volunteers. We invite people who have participated in previous Parkinson's studies to continue sharing their experiences, and we also welcome new participants. Our goal is to gather comprehensive clinical data and brain imaging information, following strict privacy rules, to better understand Parkinson's disease over time. This information is shared with other researchers to advance discoveries.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals with Parkinson's disease and healthy volunteers who are willing to participate in detailed clinical assessments and potentially brain imaging.
Not a fit: Patients who are not able to participate in regular clinical assessments or who do not meet the specific criteria for Parkinson's disease or healthy control groups may not directly benefit from this particular core's activities.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: This core's work helps create a rich dataset that can lead to a deeper understanding of Parkinson's disease, potentially paving the way for new treatments and improved care.
How similar studies have performed: This core builds upon a previously established cohort of Parkinson's disease patients, indicating a successful history of data collection and collaboration.
