Study of brain imaging in people with DBS for Parkinson’s
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial is for adults with Parkinson’s who already have a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device and who can have 7‑Tesla (7T) brain imaging. The study uses the MRI pictures to help researchers learn more about Parkinson’s and how the brain changes with treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 21 years old
- You already have a DBS device implanted
- You have access to 7T MRI images (either already done or can be done for this study)
- You have idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (Parkinson’s with no other known cause)
- You do not have dementia
- You are not pregnant

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 looks at a sleep-focused approach to brain stimulation (DBS) in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may be able to join if you’re planning or scheduled for specific DBS surgery at the University of Minnesota and have the needed brain imaging.
This study uses a very strong MRI (7-tesla) to analyze how parts of the brain connect in people with Parkinson’s who already have deep brain stimulation (DBS). It may help researchers better understand DBS and how it works in the brain.
This study uses advanced brain imaging (7-Tesla MRI and MEG) to understand how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects brain networks in people with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor. It helps doctors learn how DBS works so they can improve treatment in the future.
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 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.
