Marge Evans hi , yesterday, in St Louis my husband and i went to a lecture given by Dr. Joel Perlmutter directer of the Movement Disorder Center at Washington Universty in St. Louis. He updated us on the progress made during the past year in Parkinson's research. He then answered many questions. There are many studies going on a...t Wash U all year long. I am at this time participating in 4 of those studies. i was diagnosed with PD just over 2 years ago and am willing to participate in just about any study that i qualify and have time for. Before the lecture yesterday, i came in contact with the folks from PDtrials. I got a hat and had my picture taken. i am so honored to be able to do anything i can to help find a cure for Parkinson's. Since I live near St. Louis and my neurologist, Dr. Karimi, works with Dr. Perlmutter in the Movement Disorder center, I expect to have many opportunities to participate in onsite studies at Wash U.

Great question, Gerardo. If you check in with our website www.PDtrials.org, and enter your email address in the one-step sign-up box on the home page, you will receive monthly updates of clinical trials for PD enrolling all over the U.S. Or, search for them right from the home page. Read about those trials with your wife, try to determine if ... See Morethere are any she might want to/be able to become involved in. Read our Clinical Research 101 section to learn more about WHY she might want to and what to do if she decides to participate. And, as always, feel free to ask us questions at info@pdtrials.org!

Which study is it ? The one in Dallas? I looked into the one in Dallas. It didn't work out for me because I lived in Colorado at the time and they wouldn't let me travel back and forth. But I am still looking for a study to join.
