Deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial studies a type of brain stimulation to help reduce symptoms in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may be able to join if you have Parkinson’s and are being considered for this treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 21 years old
- Have a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease
- Be a candidate for deep brain stimulation (DBS) as judged by your care team
- Not have dementia
- If you are pregnant, you cannot join the study

This study looks at brain signals in people with Parkinson's who are already scheduled for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery. The goal is to better understand how certain brain pathways work, which could lead to improved treatments.
This study is testing a specific approach to deep brain stimulation (DBS) for people with Parkinson’s disease who are getting DBS surgery as part of routine care. It may help doctors learn whether circuit-based, more targeted stimulation is safe and useful for Parkinson’s symptoms.
This study uses MRI scans to look at brain activity in people with Parkinson's disease who have a Medtronic Percept DBS device. The goal is to better understand how deep brain stimulation works.
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation may work in people with Parkinson’s disease, especially those who have had the illness for more than 5 years and are likely to benefit from stimulation. You may be able to join if your symptoms match Parkinson’s disease criteria and you respond well to levodopa (a common Parkinson’s medication).
This study follows people with Parkinson's disease who are having a surgical procedure called deep brain stimulation (DBS), where thin electrodes are placed in the brain to help control movement symptoms. Researchers will track how well the surgery works and how it affects daily activities.
This study looks at how the brain “filters” sensory information in people with advanced Parkinson’s disease, using brain imaging and deep brain stimulation (DBS) that you may already be getting as routine care. The goal is to better understand what drives Parkinson’s symptoms and how DBS might affect the brain.
