Active clinical trials for "Parkinson Disease"

To test whether a multidisciplinary intensive rehabilitation treatment (MIRT) slowed down the progression of the disease in Parkinson's disease (PD) "de novo" patients, all treated with Rotigotine, in a randomized controlled study with a 18 months follow-up.

This study evaluates cognitive impairment in subjects with Parkinson disease (PD) and similar neurological disorder through obtaining longitudinal clinical and neuropsychological data. The long term goal is to have a well-characterized subject population to contribute to our understanding of the natural history, diagnosis and ultimate treatment of cognitive impairment in patients with PD and similar disorders.

The Parkinson's Genetic Research Study (PaGeR), headed by Dr. Cyrus Zabetian, is searching for genes that increase the risk of developing Parkinson's disease (PD) and related disorders. The study is a joint effort by neurologists and researchers across the United States and is sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. The coordinating center for PaGeR is located at the University of Washington and the VA Puget Sound Health Care System in Seattle.
