Parkinson’s Disease & Movement Disorders Center


The USF Health Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders Center is recognized as a National Parkinson Foundation Center of Excellence. As this region’s primary Parkinson’s center, we provide cutting-edge care to patients with Parkinson’s disease, a Parkinson Study Group, and an NIH Neuroprotective Exploratory Trials (NET-PD) site, in which our multi-disciplinary team is developing medications to slow or stop the progression of Parkinson’s disease.

Our facilities also include a Parkinson’s Disease and Balance Center, where patients receive specialized care for their parkinsonism's and balance disorders, including atypical parkinsonism's, such as progressive supranuclear palsy and multiple system atrophy. We also work extensively with patients with other movement disorders, including essential tremor, ataxia and dystonia. Other treatment options including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, exercise, and nutrition are emphasized. Special attention is paid to the neuropsychiatric needs of movement disorders patients as well. The center also collaborates closely with neurosurgery in treating patients who require deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease and tremor.

As an academic medical center, the USF Health Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders Center is at the forefront in developing new medical and surgical treatment options. We are an international leader in the advancing of Parkinson’s disease management, and we utilize this new knowledge to improve both diagnosis and patient care.

Clinical Trials

  • A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous (IV) Prasinezumab in Participants With Early-Stage Parkinson's Disease (PARAISO)

    ID: NCT07174310

    Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of prasinezumab compared with placebo in participants with early-stage Parkinson's disease (PD) on stable symptomatic monotherapy with levodopa.

    Status: Open - Pre Screening is ok

    https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07174310

  • Real-World Study of ABBV-951 Subcutaneous Infusion to Assess Change in Disease Activity in Adult Participants With Parkinson's Disease (ROSSINI)

    ID: NCT06107426

    Brief Summary: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological condition that affects the brain. PD gets worse over time, but how quickly it progresses varies a lot from person to person. Some symptoms of PD are tremors, stiffness, and slowness of movement. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how effective ABBV-951 is in treating adult participants with advanced PD in a real-world setting.

    Status: Open - Not Enrolling

    https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06107426

  • ID: NCT07284784

    Brief Summary: This study will examine the long-term safety of buntanetap in participants with PD. This will be a 36-month open-label safety study. This study will be conducted with two cohorts. Cohort 1 will enroll via invitation only for PD participants who have previously participated in buntanetap clinical trials. Cohort 2 will be for PD participants who are receiving deep brain stimulation (DBS) treatment. Qualified participants will receive buntanetap 30mg QD after a screening period of up to 42 days.

    Status: DBS Enrolling

  • Brief summary:

    The Parkinson Progression Marker Initiative (PPMI) is a longitudinal, observational, multi-center natural history study to assess progression of clinical features, digital outcomes, and imaging, biologic and genetic markers of Parkinson's disease (PD) progression in study participants with manifest PD, prodromal PD, and healthy controls. 

    The overall goal of PPMI is to identify markers of disease progression for use in clinical trials of therapies to reduce progression of PD disability.
