As of Tuesday, July 3, 2012, PDtrials.org has closed. We encourage you to go to the following resources to learn more about getting involved in Parkinson's research.

ClinicalTrials.gov
National Institutes of Health
This website offers a registry of federally and privately supported clinical trials conducted in the United States and around the world. This service of the National Institutes of Health provides patients, family members and the general public with current information about specific clinical studies as well as general information about the clinical trials.

Fox Trial Finder
Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research
Fox Trial Finder is a web-based clinical trial matching tool to connect those with and without Parkinson's disease to Parkinson's clinical research opportunities that urgently need their participation. After volunteers input information about themselves (such as zip code, date of birth, and brief medical history), Fox Trial Finder provides trial match suggestions. Fox Trial Finder also provides the opportunity for volunteers to connect directly with trial coordinators through a secure messaging interface on the site. Register for Fox Trial Finder today to play a part in accelerating recruitment into PD clinical research!
