How the brain works in people with Parkinson’s

More than 50% of people with Parkinson’s develop symptoms of hallucinations. Existing medications to treat these symptoms have significant side effects. 

This study is looking to compare the brains of people who don't experience psychosis, and people who experience Parkinson's psychosis and are currently being treated with a study drug in the CAN-PDP clinical trial. You can find out more about the CAN-PDP trial here.
