Brain network study for Parkinson’s or essential tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how “inhibitory control” brain networks work in people with Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor. If you are eligible for surgery and can do the study tasks, your results may help researchers better understand movement disorders and guide future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor
- Your movement problem hasn’t been well controlled by usual treatments (medically-refractory)
- A team of doctors agrees you’re eligible for the surgery planned for this study
- You are willing and able to do the study activities and tasks
- You can give full informed consent (or have someone who can help you consent appropriately)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how the brain “filters” sensory information in people with advanced Parkinson’s disease, using brain imaging and deep brain stimulation (DBS) that you may already be getting as routine care. The goal is to better understand what drives Parkinson’s symptoms and how DBS might affect the brain.
This study tests whether stimulating specific brain areas (VOP/VIM) during deep brain stimulation surgery can improve movement and muscle control. It includes people with essential tremor or Parkinson's disease who are already scheduled for this surgery.
This study looks at how brain networks work during a procedure used to treat movement symptoms in Parkinson’s disease. It may help researchers better understand the brain signals involved, which could improve future deep brain stimulation planning.
This study uses special recordings during deep brain stimulation surgery to better understand how movement gets easier in Parkinson’s disease. It may help researchers improve how this therapy is used for advanced symptoms.
This study uses a brain scan called MEG to look at how Parkinson's disease and impulse control disorders affect brain networks in people who have already had deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. You will be asked to delay your morning medication so the researchers can study your brain without the effects of the drugs.
This trial studies outcomes after deep brain stimulation (a treatment that uses implanted electrodes) for people with Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, or dystonia. It may help doctors understand who benefits most and how outcomes change after treatment.
