Where
Central London

Dr Christian Lambert and the research team at University College London are collecting detailed clinical assessments, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and DNA samples to understand why Parkinson’s is so variable.

Symprove – Probiotic use for motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s; a novel study to address treatment potential.

Deadline
Who

60 people diagnosed with Parkinson’s aged over 18 years who experience regular constipation.

If you have previously taken Symprove, regularly use probiotics or have a history of gastrointestinal problems or surgery you will unfortunately not be able to take part.

Deadline
Who

188 people aged 30 years and over diagnosed with Parkinson’s and who experience dizziness when standing.

Where
Birmingham, Plymouth, Exeter, Central London, North London, South London, East London, West London

Teams across the UK are researching a new investigational drug called TD-9855.  They are testing to see if it helps treat symptomatic neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (when blood pressure drop when standing or sitting) in people with Parkinson’s.
