Summary For Families

Goal: Learn how motor complications and OFF time progress over time in people with Parkinson's who are already being treated with levodopa, so researchers can better describe symptom patterns and treatment responses. Approach: Participants stay on their usual care while the team regularly records motor ratings, ON/OFF response to the first daily dose, medication use, and other clinical measures; no new drug or device is given. Eligibility: Adults 45 to 75 years old with clinically established PD diagnosed 4 to under 12 years ago, Hoehn and Yahr stage II,III OFF, MDS‑UPDRS part III score ≥30 OFF, at least 1 hour OFF time per day, on a stable levodopa regimen (≥300 mg/day or ≥3 doses/day) with a clear levodopa response, MoCA ≥24; people with prior DBS or levodopa pumps, major uncontrolled medical or psychiatric conditions, pregnancy, or current interventional trial participation are excluded, and a care partner aged ≥18 may also join.
