Testing brain-speech recordings during DBS for movement disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how brain and speech networks work while people with Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, or dystonia are getting deep brain stimulation (DBS). It may help doctors better understand and possibly improve speech outcomes for people receiving DBS.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled to get deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, or dystonia
- Your medical team has confirmed your diagnosis through the movement disorders team
- You can understand the study and give informed consent, and you can follow the task instructions
- You are between 18 and 85 years old
- You do not have reported hearing loss

This trial studies deep brain stimulation (a surgically placed device that sends electrical signals) to reduce voice tremor or laryngeal dystonia. You may be considered if your symptoms are persistent despite medication and you can complete the study tasks and pre-surgery testing.
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation affects speech in people with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor. It tests whether the stimulation changes the way you say sequences of sounds.
This study records brain activity during movement in people with Parkinson's who have a special deep brain stimulation (DBS) device. It aims to understand how brain rhythms relate to movement, which could improve future treatments.
This study tests whether automated analysis of your speech can help reduce speech problems caused by deep brain stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson’s disease. It may help your team adjust DBS settings to improve how you speak while keeping Parkinson symptoms controlled.
This study records brain activity during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's disease to better understand how the brain controls actions. It might help improve future treatments.
This study looks at how attention and eye movements work in people with Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, or dystonia. It tests abilities during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery and when DBS settings are changed.
