Parkinson's disease, a common movement disorder that results from a breakdown in the brain, often leads to challenges with talking, but less is known about the relationship between difficulties with talking and difficulties with learning to understand speech. By linking these two abilities in individuals with Parkinson's disease using a precision medicine approach, this project seeks to build a basis for new therapies that help people with Parkinson's disease both understand better and speak more clearly.

The purpose of this study is to test a new way to treat Parkinson's disease (PD). Subjects will be implanted with deep brain stimulator (DBS) devices and electrodes placed under the scalp. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is there a less invasive method to collect useful brain signals? Find out if these brain signals can be related to movement and/or sleep symptoms. * How to use these brain signals to tailor adaptive deep brain stimulation settings for movement and/or sleep symptoms Researchers will compare study derived adaptive DBS settings to subject's clinically programmed continuous DBS settings to see which is better at treating patients PD symptoms.

This clinical study is being conducted to learn more about a new imaging drug called \[18F\]MK-0947, which is designed to help doctors see changes in the brain related to Parkinson's disease (PD). PD is a condition that affects movement, balance, and thinking. The drug works with a type of scan called PET (Positron Emission Tomography) to show areas of the brain where a protein called α-synuclein builds up. This buildup is linked to PD and other brain disorders. The main goal of this study is to find out if \[18F\]MK-0947 is safe for people and if it works well to show α-synuclein in the brain. The study will also look at how the drug moves through the body and how much radiation it gives off. Researchers hope this information will help develop better tools for diagnosing PD and tracking how it changes over time. Who can join? Adults who have PD or who are healthy may be able to take part. Participants will have screening tests to make sure they qualify. What does participation involve? People in the study will have PET scans, blood tests, and other safety checks. Some participants will also have an MRI scan. The study is divided into two parts: Part 1 looks at how the drug works in the brain of PD patients and healthy elderly participants, and Part 2 measures radiation levels in healthy participants. Why is this important? There is currently no cure for PD, and better imaging tools could help researchers develop new treatments. By joining this study, participants will help advance research that may improve care for people with PD and similar conditions in the future.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of ultra-low, anti-inflammatory doses of radiation therapy (RT) for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease (PD). In this study, the TrueBeam LINAC utilizes a linear accelerator (LINAC) for the delivery of radiation therapy. Dynamic conformal arc (DCA) therapy will be used to deliver a total of five (5) once-a-day radiation treatments (RT) using DaT-SPECT (Dopamine Transporter-Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography) and MRI imaging to guide radiation treatment planning.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of prasinezumab compared with placebo in participants with early-stage Parkinson's disease (PD) on stable symptomatic monotherapy with levodopa.

The study aims to evaluate the burden of tau pathology in people with Sporadic and LRRK2 PD via in vivo imaging using the tau tracer, \[18F\]PI-2620, and a high resolution PET camera, NeuroEXPLORER.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if cognitive cueing (eg., prompting individuals to think about taking big-long steps while walking), either as a stand- alone intervention or combined with a personalized gait training video, can improve gait (walking), mobility, and balance confidence for individuals with Parkinson's Disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does focusing on cognitive cues while walking improve gait, mobility, and balance confidence for individuals with Parkinson's Disease? 2. Does incorporating a personalized gait training video alongside cognitive cueing lead to amplified improvements in gait, mobility, and balance confidence for individuals with Parkinson's Disease? Researchers will compare how gait, mobility, balance confidence and quality of life change over time for participants when they practice walking with and without a cognitive cue alone, and when they practice with using a personalized gait training video. The researchers are also interested in how participation in this trial will affect quality of life and conscious attention to gait. Participants will * Complete walking trials on an instrumented mat that records data on their walking ability. These trials will be undertaken without a cognitive cue and while participants mentally rehearse a series of 3 cognitive cues (Take big long steps; Walk heel-toe; Stand up straight). * Be informed about which of the 3 cues best improved their walking and will receive a personalized gait training video for at home practice. * Complete online surveys that ask questions about their Parkinson's Disease, mobility, balance confidence quality of life and conscious attention to gait. * Visit the research facility 3 to 4 times during the study to have their gait (walking), mobility, balance confidence, quality of life and conscious attention to gait assessed and reassessed. * Practice both with and without their personalized video at home and keep a diary to record their practice sessions * Participate in a brief interview to discuss their experiences with the training and their perceptions of the effectiveness of cognitive cues and video-recorded feedback

The Goal of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and clinical responses following implantation of DSP-1083. Study enrolls both male and female patients in 2 cohorts. This study will be held in approximately 5-8 study sites in United States

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK/PD of LY3962681 in healthy volunteers and patients with Parkinson's disease. The study will be comprised of two parts, the Single Ascending Dose (SAD) study and the Multiple Ascending Doses (MAD) study. During the SAD portion of the study, healthy volunteers will receive a single dose of LY3962681 or placebo (artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF), no active drug) given into the spinal fluid. During the MAD portion of the study, patients with Parkinson's disease will receive two doses of either LY3962681 or placebo (aCSF) administered into the spinal fluid. * The treatment period in the SAD study will be 1 day. The treatment period in the MAD study will be 2 days, 12 to 24 weeks apart. * The follow-up period in the SAD study will be up to 52 weeks. The follow-up period in the MAD study will be up to 52 weeks post Dose 2.

More than 110,000 US Veterans living with Parkinson's disease (PD) currently receive PD-related care and services from the VA. Fall prevention is a priority for Veterans living PD. Gait disturbances are a major cause for functional dependence and the largest risk factor for falls, institutionalization, and death in PD. This SPiRE addresses the need to advance nonpharmacological rehabilitative health care of Veterans and maximizing functional outcomes by developing a non-invasive, neuromodulatory transcutaneous cervical Vagal Nerve Stimulation as an at-home intervention to improve gait and balance. This pilot clinical trial will assist with future efforts and priorities of the VA to prolong independent living and quality of life by minimizing gait and balance dysfunction experienced by Veterans living with PD.
