Take part in a research study

Take part in Parkinson's researchWe don't recruit people for clinical trials directly. But we do maintain a list of research studies that may be looking for people to take part.

People with Parkinson's and their carers play an essential role in clinical research.

Research helps us learn more about the condition, find the best possible drugs and explore new hopes for a cure.
