Take part in the investigation exploring the natural progression of Parkinson's Disease
In a significant development for Parkinson's disease research, Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA) has initiated the Natural History of Parkinson's Disease study. The aim of this long-term study is to gain a deeper understanding of how Parkinson's disease develops and progresses over time, with the ultimate goal of contributing to breakthroughs in treatment and care.
Who can participate:
Typically, participants in NeuRA’s Natural History of Parkinson's Disease study include people who have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at various stages. Some studies also invite individuals at risk or with early symptoms to enroll. Family members or caregivers might also be involved in some research components. Exact eligibility criteria vary depending on the specific study protocol, but generally, adults diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease interested in contributing to research are encouraged to participate.
Interestingly, the study also includes a control group of 50 individuals without Parkinson's disease to serve as a comparison.
How to sign up or get more information:
Since the direct links or signup details for this NeuRA study were not found in the given search results, the best approach is to visit the official Neuroscience Research Australia website or contact them directly. NeuRA’s website typically has a section on Parkinson’s research studies with contact details for the research coordinators. Another option is to reach out to Parkinson’s support organizations in Australia such as Parkinson’s Australia, as they often collaborate with NeuRA and can provide referral or contact information.
What to expect:
Participants in the study will be contributing to Parkinson's disease research. However, the study does not reveal the duration or requirements for participation, the frequency or schedule of updates or communications with participants, the qualifications or experience of the research staff, or any compensation or incentives for participation. It also does not provide contact information for any specific researcher or point of contact.
Location:
The study does not specify the location where participation is required.
For precise participation details or the latest recruitment status, contacting NeuRA is essential because current recruitment and eligibility criteria can change frequently.
