ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Perception in Parkinson's Disease," is looking into how different visual experiences, including unusual ones like visual hallucinations, relate to important aspects of daily life for people with Parkinson's disease. The study aims to understand how these perceptual experiences connect with factors such as thinking ability, mood, and levels of alertness or sleepiness. It's important to note that you do not need to have visual hallucinations to participate; anyone with Parkinson's can join.

To be eligible for this study, participants must be at least 40 years old, have a self-reported diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, be able to speak English, and have functional vision. You also need access to the internet and a computer or laptop to take part in the research. This study is observational, which means there won't be any treatments or interventions involved; instead, researchers will simply observe and gather information from participants. If you're interested, this is a great opportunity to contribute to our understanding of how perception affects those living with Parkinson's disease.
