Study of outcomes for people with deep brain stimulation
This study looks back at results for people who have already had deep brain stimulation (DBS) or could get it. It aims to understand how DBS is used and what outcomes people experience.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges Any age - NCT02553525Enrolling by invitation
Testing different stimulation patterns in Parkinson’s, tremor, and MS
This study tests whether changing the “stimulation pattern” in a deep brain stimulator can improve how well symptoms are controlled. If you are already getting (or replacing) a deep brain stimulator, this may help fine-tune the settings for you.

What taking part in a dystonia study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
