Testing brain wiring signals during planned deep brain stimulation
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Parkinson’s disease and your care team recommends deep brain stimulation for your movement symptoms
- You can get an MRI before surgery that shows no scar-like brain sticking (adhesions) and no blood-vessel problems
- You are able and willing to cooperate during an awake part of surgery for up to 40 minutes
- You have not taken blood thinners or anti-platelet medicines within the last week (unless your team says otherwise)
- Your memory/cognitive screening does not show significant memory problems

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 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 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 trial tests whether deep brain stimulation (a surgical treatment that uses electrical pulses to calm overactive brain areas) can help people in the early stages of Parkinson's disease. If you join, you'll get either the stimulation or a placebo (inactive) treatment, and the study will see if it improves your symptoms.
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.
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.
