Deep brain stimulation and memory changes in Parkinson’s
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether deep brain stimulation (a surgical treatment for Parkinson’s disease) affects thinking and memory over time. It compares Parkinson’s participants to people without Parkinson’s to better understand what changes happen with treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- If you have Parkinson’s: you are scheduled to get deep brain stimulation (DBS) as part of your care
- You cannot have major, untreated hearing or vision problems that aren’t corrected
- You must be able to do MRI scans comfortably (not claustrophobic and able to lie flat)
- You cannot be pregnant or plan to become pregnant during the study
- You must have MRI-safe equipment (no non-MRI-compatible metal implants)

This study uses MRI scans to see how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help researchers understand why some people experience cognitive changes after DBS surgery.
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease over time. It compares results from people who have DBS and those who receive only medication.
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 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.
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (a treatment that uses small electrical pulses to help with Parkinson's symptoms) affects sleep and daytime function. It aims to better understand how the brain area being stimulated works during waking and sleeping, which could help improve this treatment for patients.
This study follows people with Parkinson’s disease to see how their thinking, behavior, and movement change over time after deep brain stimulation. It may help doctors better understand what to expect from this treatment.
