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.

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 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 trial tests whether deep brain stimulation (a surgical treatment that uses electrical pulses to calm overactive brain areas) can help people in the early stages of Parkinson's disease. If you join, you'll get either the stimulation or a placebo (inactive) treatment, and the study will see if it improves your symptoms.
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.
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 to adjust deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease. It focuses on people who still have at least mild tremor after their DBS device has been in place for three months or more, to see if targeting specific brain connections can help improve tremor control.
