Study tracking results after Abbott deep brain stimulator surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study follows people who are getting a new Abbott deep brain stimulator (DBS) device or replacing the battery/implantable pulse generator to see how outcomes change over time. It mainly applies to certain DBS targets and diagnoses, and it uses follow-up visits to track results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled within 180 days for a new DBS implant or a replacement of your DBS battery/device using an Abbott system
- You can provide written consent (or a legal representative can) before any study-related activities
- You are not currently in, and do not plan to join, another experimental study that could affect results
- Your health and personal situation should allow you to attend follow-up visits reliably
- The study site is in the United States, and your DBS reason is Parkinson’s disease or a disabling tremor

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.
This study tests a new way to adjust deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease. It focuses on people who still have at least mild tremor after their DBS device has been in place for three months or more, to see if targeting specific brain connections can help improve tremor control.
This study looks at whether deep brain stimulation surgery can help people with certain movement problems, chosen by a specialized team. You may be considered if medicines (or other treatments) aren’t controlling your symptoms well enough or if the condition causes major disability.
This study looks at how brain “wiring” (connectivity) and brain function change over time in people with essential tremor after successful deep brain stimulation. You might benefit by helping researchers better understand what DBS does in the brain, which can improve care for others with tremor.
This study looks at whether changing how deep brain stimulation (DBS) pulses are delivered can improve symptoms in people with advanced Parkinson’s disease. You may be eligible if you already have a specific Boston Scientific DBS device and have had it implanted for at least 3 months.
This study looks at brain signals, thinking, and movement behaviors in people who have Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor and are being considered for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. It may help researchers better understand how DBS affects the brain and day-to-day function.
