Brain scan study for people with deep brain stimulators
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses a 3‑tesla MRI (a type of detailed brain scan) in people who have deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes. The goal is to improve understanding of how the brain works; the scan is not meant to provide direct treatment benefit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if deep brain stimulation (DBS) can improve memory and thinking for people who have had a traumatic brain injury. DBS uses a small device placed in the brain to send gentle electrical pulses.
This study uses MRI scans to see how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help researchers understand why some people experience cognitive changes after DBS surgery.
This study checks how brain imaging works in people who already have a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device. If you have a DBS system, the study may help researchers better understand what the stimulation is doing in the brain.
This study looks at how the location of a deep brain stimulator in Parkinson’s disease affects movement problems. It mainly uses advanced 7T brain imaging to compare brain activity and motor symptoms.
This study uses advanced brain imaging (7-Tesla MRI and MEG) to understand how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects brain networks in people with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor. It helps doctors learn how DBS works so they can improve treatment in the future.
This trial is for adults with Parkinson’s who already have a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device and who can have 7‑Tesla (7T) brain imaging. The study uses the MRI pictures to help researchers learn more about Parkinson’s and how the brain changes with treatment.
