Read our Parkinson Disease research guide →NS-PARK is a large French research project that brings together hospitals and clinics specializing in Parkinson's disease. The study follows thousands of patients with Parkinson's disease, similar movement disorders, or genetic risk for Parkinson's to track how their condition changes over time. By collecting medical information and optional tissue samples from participants, researchers hope to discover new genes involved in Parkinson's, understand why the disease progresses differently in different people, and develop personalized treatment approaches.
Parkinson's disease affects each person differently, and doctors don't fully understand why some people progress faster than others or respond better to certain treatments. This study exists to map out these different patterns of disease progression and find genetic clues that could lead to new, more targeted treatments tailored to individual patients.

You likely don't qualify if…
You would visit one of the specialized Parkinson's clinics in the NS-PARK network, where your doctors would collect information about your symptoms, medications, and medical history at each regular appointment. This information is stored in a central database to help researchers track how Parkinson's progresses in different people over time. You may also be asked to optionally donate a small skin sample for genetic and biological research, though this is not required to participate in the main study.
