Phase N/A

This study looks at how patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) experience a clinic that uses complementary medicine. Complementary medicine means treatments like homeopathy (using tiny amounts of natural substances), herbalism (using plants for healing), hypnosis (using focused relaxation), and healing (alternative energy therapies) that are provided along with regular medical care. Patients visit the clinic about every 3 months, completing questionnaires during each visit. Two important measurements are used: MDS-UPDRS and MYMOP. The MDS-UPDRS is a series of questions that help track Parkinson's symptoms, while MYMOP allows patients to highlight their top health concerns.

  • The study is observational, meaning it watches and records patients' experiences without changing their treatment.
  • Consultations can be done remotely if patients can't travel, lasting 1.5 hours via a secure video call.
  • Participation is voluntary and won't affect the care received at the clinic.
