Deep brain stimulation study in Parkinson’s visuomotor function
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial studies how deep brain stimulation affects hand-eye (visuomotor) coordination in people with Parkinson’s. It may help researchers understand whether the stimulation settings change movement control for daily tasks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Parkinson’s disease and have deep brain stimulation (DBS) in both sides of the STN (subthalamic nucleus)
- You can provide MRI images from before surgery and get scans after surgery (MRI or CT) for study comparison
- When your Parkinson’s medicine is turned off, your Parkinson’s stage is between 2 and 4 (moderate to moderately severe)
- Your Parkinson’s medicine doses and your DBS settings have been stable
- You have not had other Parkinson’s surgeries besides DBS

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether adjusting deep brain stimulation (DBS) can improve how you see and move. DBS uses a device implanted in your brain to help control Parkinson's symptoms. This research aims to find better settings for that device to improve your coordination and daily function.
This study tests whether different deep brain stimulation settings can improve symptoms in people with Parkinson’s who already have an implanted DBS system in the subthalamic nucleus (STN). To join, you must already have the specific Medtronic device and show good brain signal and symptom response after surgery.
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (an implanted brain device) affects Parkinson’s symptoms, especially movement problems like freezing, slowness, or involuntary movements. It may help people whose symptoms are not fully controlled by standard Parkinson medicines.
This study looks at how the location of a deep brain stimulator in Parkinson’s disease affects movement problems. It mainly uses advanced 7T brain imaging to compare brain activity and motor symptoms.
This study tests a new type of deep brain stimulation (DBS) that adapts to your brain activity in real time. It is for people with Parkinson's disease whose symptoms are not well managed by medication and who are already candidates for DBS surgery.
This trial studies how deep brain stimulation (DBS) works and can help control Parkinson's symptoms. It uses a special DBS device that is safe for MRI scans.
