Studying motivation in Parkinson’s using brain stimulation recordings
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at what drives motivation in people with Parkinson’s disease (or dystonia) by using recordings from an implanted brain stimulation device. It may help researchers understand brain signals behind motivation and improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Parkinson’s disease or dystonia
- You have a Medtronic Percept or RC+S DBS device implanted
- Your DBS targets are in either the GPI or STN area
- Your DBS was placed at least 1 month ago (either one side or both sides)
- You do not have severe memory/thinking problems (your MOCA test score must be 20 or higher)
- You are not pregnant, and you are at least 18 years old

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 MRI scans to look at brain activity in people with Parkinson's disease who have a Medtronic Percept DBS device. The goal is to better understand how deep brain stimulation works.
This study looks at factors that predict how well deep brain stimulation (DBS) works for people with Parkinson's disease. If you are considering DBS, joining this research could help doctors better understand who benefits most from the procedure.
This study follows people with Parkinson’s disease to see how their thinking, behavior, and movement change over time after deep brain stimulation. It may help doctors better understand what to expect from this treatment.
