I've just found a web page that is a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, through its National Library of Medicine. The institute has developed ClinicalTrials.gov to provide patients, family members and members of the public current information about clinical research studies.
I found 19 specifics studies related to parkinsons.
TODAY'S TIP: CLINICALTRIALS.GOV

Ever wonder who participates in all these clinical trials you read about? Well, anyone who wants to--and qualifies--can. And here's where you can find out how to participate and get the lowdown on which clinical trials are currently running: The U.S. government's own ClinicalTrials site.
Part of the National Institutes of Health site, ClinicalTrials offers current information about clinical research. You can search by condition, sponsor, or funding agency. You can also look for studies conducted by the NIH or other government agencies, according to industry or university.
But this site isn't only a source of studies and reports. You can actually find out about clinical studies in which you may be able to participate. Each study provides information describing who is eligible and how to contact the facility conducting the study.
To visit ClinicalTrials, go to http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ .
While you're at the site, check out the NIH link to Understanding Clinical Trials.
