Brain scan during deep brain stimulation

EpilepsyChronic Pain

Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.

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.

Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Brain network analysis using 7-Tesla MRI in DBS patients

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.

Brain scan study for people with deep brain stimulators

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.

Tracking brain signals during deep brain stimulation

This study compares two ways of measuring brain activity—MRI-based brain mapping and electrical brain testing—during deep brain stimulation. It may help doctors better target stimulation to improve symptoms like movement problems or long-lasting pain.
