At-home testing for Parkinson’s patients with a DBS device
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study checks how well people can do specific at-home movement tasks using their Medtronic Percept deep brain stimulation (DBS) system. It may help improve how DBS settings are tested and monitored outside the clinic, which could make care safer and more personalized.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Parkinson’s disease and are currently using DBS (deep brain stimulation) provided by your neurologist/doctor
- You have an implanted Medtronic Percept DBS system
- It has been at least 3 months since your DBS device was first turned on
- For the at-home part only: your DBS settings must work with the sensing setup used in the study
- You do not have memory problems or dementia, and you can understand and follow the study
- You do not have other serious neurologic problems, or recent complications from DBS that could make the tasks unsafe

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
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 early-phase study looks at whether adjusting deep brain stimulation (DBS) can improve posture, walking, and balance in people with Parkinson’s disease. If you already have DBS in place, the trial uses computer-based planning to try different DBS directions and settings to see what helps you most.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called patterned stimulation for people with Parkinson's who already have a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device. It aims to see if using this special stimulation at home is safe and comfortable.
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 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 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.
