ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how Parkinson's Disease affects people's social behaviors and overall quality of life compared to individuals without the disease who are of the same age. Researchers want to understand the unique challenges faced by adults living with Parkinson's, which can range from difficulties in daily activities to changes in how they interact with others.

To participate, you need to be at least 40 years old. If you have Parkinson's Disease diagnosed by a healthcare professional, you can join the Parkinson's group. If you don’t have Parkinson's but are also over 40, you may qualify for the neurotypical group. Unfortunately, individuals with developmental disabilities, like autism or Down syndrome, are not eligible for this study. Participants will share their experiences, allowing researchers to gather valuable information that can help improve the lives of people living with Parkinson's. If you or someone you know fits these criteria and is interested, this could be a great opportunity to contribute to important research!
