Personalized deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a personalized way to adjust deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy in real time for people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to improve how DBS works by tailoring it to each person's needs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (the kind that is not caused by something else).
- Your doctor has decided that you are a good candidate for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery.
- You are able to safely miss a few doses of your regular Parkinson's medications, if needed.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation may work in people with Parkinson’s disease, especially those who have had the illness for more than 5 years and are likely to benefit from stimulation. You may be able to join if your symptoms match Parkinson’s disease criteria and you respond well to levodopa (a common Parkinson’s medication).
This trial tests whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) can help people with early-stage Parkinson's disease. If you have Parkinson's for less than 4 years and your medications work well, this study may help slow the need for higher medication doses.
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 tests a new computer-guided method for fine-tuning Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) settings in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find the best stimulation settings more efficiently and improve symptom control.
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 trial studies a type of brain stimulation to help reduce symptoms in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may be able to join if you have Parkinson’s and are being considered for this treatment.
