Summary For Families
The goal is to make specialist Parkinson's care easier to reach and better coordinated across the Rhine-Main region, so symptoms, medications and therapies can be reviewed and adjusted more quickly and consistently. The approach uses an interdisciplinary telemedicine package,video visits with neurologists, structured medication reviews, and coordinated referrals with shared electronic care plans,so teams can optimize levodopa and other treatments, manage side effects, and arrange local therapy without changing how the drugs work. Adults 30 to 85 years old living in Hesse or Rhineland-Palatinate with Parkinson's or atypical Parkinsonism who can give consent are eligible, while people with severe dementia, major psychiatric illness, active addiction, pregnancy, insufficient language skills, or participation in another interventional treatment trial are excluded.

- Who can participate?
- Participants must be between 30 Years and 85 Years.
- Where is this trial located?
- This trial is recruiting at 2 locations.
- Does it cost anything to join?
- You are never charged a fee to join a legitimate clinical trial, and the study treatment and study-specific tests are provided by the trial sponsor at no charge. In the US, routine care you would receive anyway can still be billed to you or your insurance; coverage rules differ by country, and trials in the UK and Canada usually run through public health systems. Travel, parking, and time are real costs, and some trials reimburse them while others do not. Before enrolling, ask the study coordinator to explain in writing what is and is not covered.
- How long does the trial last?
- This trial is estimated to last approximately 1 year and 4 months.
- Can I leave the trial if I change my mind?
- Yes. You can withdraw from any clinical trial at any time, for any reason, without affecting your standard medical care. Trials are voluntary by law. The team may ask if you are willing to do a brief exit visit so they can collect safety information, but you are not obligated.
- Can my spouse or care partner come with me to visits?
- In most cases yes, and it is often encouraged. Care partners can help with notes, questions, and getting home safely after a long visit. Some study assessments do need to happen one on one, but care partners are usually welcome for the rest of the appointment.
