Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are research studies that explore new ways to prevent, diagnose, or treat diseases like Parkinson’s. Participating in research can offer individuals access to cutting-edge treatments and contribute to advancing care for the entire Parkinson’s community. While participation can bring hope and important opportunities, every study carries its own potential benefits and risks. We encourage all individuals to consult with their physician to carefully consider whether a specific clinical trial is appropriate for their unique situation.
Please note: Inclusion of research studies or clinical trials in this list does not imply an endorsement, nor is it exhaustive. We are committed to keeping our information current and welcome suggestions for additional studies or opportunities to share with our community.

SPEAC Lab
The University of Washington SPEAC Lab is inviting individuals who have Parkinson’s disease (PD) to answer survey questions about their communication experiences. Participants need to nominate at least one family member, friend, or coworker to also answer survey questions. This is an online survey study that will take about 30-45 minutes. We can also mail a paper survey. People with PD and their family / friends / coworkers will complete SEPARATE surveys, and data are not shared between participants.
Each participant will be mailed a $25 check upon survey completion.
