Parkinson’s Participants Needed for Stanford Study on Cognition and Movement

September 19, 2017 By Parkinson's Community Help

Stanford Movement Disorders Center Logo

Stanford’s Department of Neurology is looking for people between the ages of 45 and 75 who have Parkinson’s disease to participate in an observational study to examine the effects of aging and disease progression on the brain.

The study requires 15 hours of participation over 3 days and involves a series of cognitive tasks, motor tests and an MRI scan. Participants must be diagnosed with PD for at least 2 years and able to walk unassisted. The findings from this study may help with the development of therapies to treat cognitive or motor dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease.

For more information, please contact Varsha by email or phone 650-723-6709.
