New tiny electrode to record brain activity during DBS
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a high-density microelectrode that captures detailed brain recordings while surgeons place a deep brain stimulator for Parkinson’s disease. It may help doctors better locate the exact brain area to target during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are having deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrode surgery for Parkinson’s disease
- During your surgery, doctors are also using microelectrode recording to help find the right target in the subthalamic nucleus (STN)
- Your planned surgery includes implanting the DBS electrode in the STN (not another brain area)
- You have not had DBS electrodes implanted in the STN before

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 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 records brain activity during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's disease to better understand how the brain controls actions. It might help improve future treatments.
This trial studies how brain cells in a specific area (the prefrontal cortex) affect thinking and planning in people with Parkinson's disease who are getting deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. The goal is to learn more about brain function to improve future treatments.
This study uses EEG (a non-invasive scalp recording) to measure brain signals while deep brain stimulation (DBS) is active. It aims to better understand how DBS affects brain activity in people with Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, or dystonia.
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.
