What this study is about

This trial is testing the safety and tolerability of surgically transplanting cells derived from your own skin stem cells into the brain to help treat Parkinson's disease. The transplanted cells will be dopaminergic, meaning they produce dopamine, a chemical that helps control movement.

Simplified from trial records by PatientMatch.
