There is an urgent need for Parkinson's Disease research due to its increasing global prevalence. Participant recruitment is a significant challenge to the success of Parkinson's disease research and we need your help more than ever in moving the field forward and improving the lives of people who have Parkinson's disease. Recruitment of study participants can be facilitated by maintaining registries of people who agree to be contacted for future studies.
