--- title: "Parkinson's Clinical Trials in Scranton, Pennsylvania" description: "Find recruiting Parkinson's disease clinical trials at facilities near Scranton, Pennsylvania." canonical_url: "https://parkinsonspathways.com/trials-near-me/scranton" location: Scranton, Pennsylvania, United States latitude: 41.409 longitude: -75.6624 source: "Parkinson's Pathways" --- # Parkinson's Clinical Trials in Scranton, Pennsylvania Northeastern Pennsylvania sits between three major research metros, so the trials closest to Scranton are usually a manageable drive toward New York, Philadelphia, or the Lehigh Valley rather than in the city itself. Each trial is sourced daily from ClinicalTrials.gov and translated for families with a five-word goal and a plain-language summary. The live Scranton list at [https://parkinsonspathways.com/trials-near-me/scranton](https://parkinsonspathways.com/trials-near-me/scranton) is filtered to studies with a research site within 100 miles of the city centre, sorted by proximity. There are few dedicated movement-disorder trial sites in the immediate Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area, but a 100-mile radius reaches a large share of the Northeast's recruiting studies. The list below is sorted by distance so you can weigh a slightly longer drive against getting into a trial that fits. Families here often pair a regional academic center with the free weekly digest to catch new sites as they open along the I-81 and I-80 corridors. ## At a glance - **Recruiting trials near Scranton:** 22 - **Research sites:** 27 - **Interventional studies:** 13 - **Observational studies:** 9 - **By phase:** 3 Phase 1, 7 Phase 2, 4 Phase 3 ## Research sites near Scranton - **Weill Cornell Medicine** (New York, New York) — 98.7 mi away — 3 recruiting trials - **Columbia University** (New York, New York) — 98.7 mi away — 2 recruiting trials - **Teachers College, Columbia University** (New York, New York) — 98.7 mi away — 2 recruiting trials - **Rutgers - Robert Wood Johnson Medical School** (New Brunswick, New Jersey) — 89.8 mi away — 1 recruiting trial - **Rutgers University** (New Brunswick, New Jersey) — 89.8 mi away — 1 recruiting trial - **Abington Neurology** (Willow Grove, Pennsylvania) — 92 mi away — 1 recruiting trial - **Jefferson Moss-Magee Rehabilitation - Elkins Park** (Elkins Park, Pennsylvania) — 96.2 mi away — 1 recruiting trial - **Beth Israel Medical Center** (New York, New York) — 98.7 mi away — 1 recruiting trial - **Columbia University Medical Center** (New York, New York) — 98.7 mi away — 1 recruiting trial - **Cornell University Weill Medical College** (New York, New York) — 98.7 mi away — 1 recruiting trial - **Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai/Mount Sinai West** (New York, New York) — 98.7 mi away — 1 recruiting trial - **Joan and Sanford I.

Enter your city, zip code, or postcode and a search radius. Parkinson's Pathways finds every recruiting Parkinson's trial with a study site inside that radius, sorted by distance. Each result links to a family-friendly summary, a five-word goal, and the site contact details. ### Are these Parkinson's clinical trials free to join? Yes. There is no cost to participate in a clinical trial. Study-related care, treatment, and assessments are paid for by the trial sponsor. Some trials also reimburse travel, parking, and lodging when the site is far from your home. ### How far should I be willing to travel for a Parkinson's trial? Most participants travel between 25 and 50 miles for routine visits. For a high-priority disease-modifying trial, families sometimes travel further, especially because some early-phase trials only run at a handful of academic medical centers. Many sites help with travel costs when the distance is significant. ### Who runs these clinical trials? Parkinson's clinical trials are run by academic medical centers, university hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, biotech startups, and patient foundations like The Michael J. Fox Foundation. Every trial listed here is registered with the U.S. National Library of Medicine on ClinicalTrials.gov. ### How often are the local trial listings updated? Every day. The full list refreshes from ClinicalTrials.gov each morning, so a trial that started recruiting yesterday will appear today. Trials that stop recruiting are removed automatically. ### Do I need a Parkinson's diagnosis to enroll in a local trial? Most trials require a confirmed Parkinson's diagnosis from a neurologist, but some recruit healthy volunteers as a comparison group, and a few recruit people at risk for Parkinson's based on family history or early symptoms. Each trial's eligibility section spells out who can join. ### What if there are no Parkinson's trials near my city right now? Try increasing the search radius to 100 or 250 miles, or sign up for the free weekly digest. Spencer sends a Monday email summarizing every new recruiting Parkinson's trial, so you can catch one the day it opens near you. ## Trials in other cities - [Philadelphia, Pennsylvania](https://parkinsonspathways.com/trials-near-me/philadelphia) - [New York, New York](https://parkinsonspathways.com/trials-near-me/new-york) - [Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania](https://parkinsonspathways.com/trials-near-me/pittsburgh) - [Boston, Massachusetts](https://parkinsonspathways.com/trials-near-me/boston) - [Baltimore, Maryland](https://parkinsonspathways.com/trials-near-me/baltimore) - [Washington, DC, District of Columbia](https://parkinsonspathways.com/trials-near-me/washington-dc) - [Atlanta, Georgia](https://parkinsonspathways.com/trials-near-me/atlanta) - [Miami, Florida](https://parkinsonspathways.com/trials-near-me/miami) - [Tampa, Florida](https://parkinsonspathways.com/trials-near-me/tampa) - [Orlando, Florida](https://parkinsonspathways.com/trials-near-me/orlando) - [Charlotte, North Carolina](https://parkinsonspathways.com/trials-near-me/charlotte) - [Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina](https://parkinsonspathways.com/trials-near-me/raleigh-durham) - [Nashville, Tennessee](https://parkinsonspathways.com/trials-near-me/nashville) - [Chicago, Illinois](https://parkinsonspathways.com/trials-near-me/chicago) - [Cleveland, Ohio](https://parkinsonspathways.com/trials-near-me/cleveland) - [Cincinnati, Ohio](https://parkinsonspathways.com/trials-near-me/cincinnati) ## Related - [Search by your own city or zip code](https://parkinsonspathways.com/trials-near-me) - [Browse all 503 recruiting Parkinson's trials](https://parkinsonspathways.com/trials)
