NCT05222386 · ACTIVE NOT RECRUITING
Community Outreach for Palliative Engagement -- Parkinson Disease
This trial tests whether training community doctors in palliative care, combined with telemedicine support, improves quality of life for people with Parkinson's disease, Lewy Body Dementia, and related conditions. Palliative care focuses on managing symptoms and reducing suffering, not curing disease. This is a Phase N/A study, meaning it is evaluating a care delivery model rather than a drug or device.
