Deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s, using targeted stimulation
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study is testing a specific approach to deep brain stimulation (DBS) for people with Parkinson’s disease who are getting DBS surgery as part of routine care. It may help doctors learn whether circuit-based, more targeted stimulation is safe and useful for Parkinson’s symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an official diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson’s disease
- You are planning to have DBS surgery at the University of Minnesota (UMN) with a targeted lead and multiple current controls
- You are at least 21 years old
- You do not have another serious neurological condition besides Parkinson’s
- You do not have a history of dementia

This study looks at brain signals in people with Parkinson's who are already scheduled for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery. The goal is to better understand how certain brain pathways work, which could lead to improved treatments.
This study tests a new way to measure brain signals during Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's disease. It uses special leads that can sense brain activity, which may help doctors better adjust the stimulation in the future.
This study tests a new way of delivering deep brain stimulation (DBS), which uses a small device implanted in the brain to reduce Parkinson's symptoms. The device sends electrical pulses that may be different on each side of the brain, which could better suit each person's needs. Participating may help doctors learn if this approach improves movement and quality of life.
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 looks at brain signals during awake deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's disease. The goal is to learn how these signals can help guide the placement of electrodes to improve treatment.
This study follows people with Parkinson's disease who are having a surgical procedure called deep brain stimulation (DBS), where thin electrodes are placed in the brain to help control movement symptoms. Researchers will track how well the surgery works and how it affects daily activities.
