Testing how brain stimulation affects walking in Parkinson’s
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial looks at how turning on and using a specific Parkinson’s brain stimulator affects your walking. It may help doctors understand what changes in gait (walking) can happen with this device and settings.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Parkinson’s disease.
- You have an implanted Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) system.
- Your DBS target is the subthalamic nucleus (STN).
- Your DBS uses the PerceptTM PC device.
- You are able and willing to follow the study instructions and procedures.

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 personalized brain stimulation system to help improve walking and balance in people with Parkinson's. If you have trouble with gait and posture despite treatment, this trial may explore whether a tailored stimulation loop can offer additional benefit.
This study tests a new type of deep brain stimulation (DBS) that automatically adjusts to your walking or balance issues. It uses your brain's own signals to improve movement.
This trial looks at a new type of Parkinson’s brain stimulation (adaptive DBS) to help with disabling walking, balance, and/or speech problems. It also requires replacing your DBS battery because the researchers need to test the new system’s signals.
This study tests whether different types of gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp can help improve walking and balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find a better way to support rehabilitation.
This trial tests an adaptive deep brain stimulation (DBS) system designed to improve freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease. It is for people who still have trouble walking despite medications and are already planning to have DBS surgery.
