Brain stimulation with different settings on each side for Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new way of delivering deep brain stimulation (DBS), which uses a small device implanted in the brain to reduce Parkinson's symptoms. The device sends electrical pulses that may be different on each side of the brain, which could better suit each person's needs. Participating may help doctors learn if this approach improves movement and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
- Your Parkinson's symptoms must improve significantly (by at least 24%) when you take your usual Parkinson's medication.
- Your disease severity (when on medication) should be moderate, not too mild or too severe.
- You should not have other serious brain conditions or mental health issues that could increase surgery risks or affect study results.
- You must be willing to sign a consent form and participate in follow-ups.
