Phase N/A

This study investigates Parkinson's disease, focusing on movement and coordination. The purpose of this study is to observe and gather data on the development and progression of Parkinson's disease over time. Participants will be involved in the study for at least five years, during which they will be monitored without receiving any study-related treatment or medication. This long-term study aims to collect valuable information on how Parkinson's disease develops and changes, as well as insights into natural aging.

Participants in this observational study will be monitored and evaluated regularly.
