Brain signal study during DBS surgery for Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at brain signals during awake deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's disease. The goal is to learn how these signals can help guide the placement of electrodes to improve treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had Parkinson's for at least 4 years.
- You are scheduled for awake DBS surgery as part of your normal care, targeting the subthalamic nucleus or globus pallidus interna.
- Your Parkinson's symptoms (like tremor, stiffness, or slowness) improve by at least 30% with medication, unless you cannot take medication due to side effects.
- You are generally healthy enough for surgery and willing to cooperate during the awake procedure.
- You do not have other serious brain conditions, a history of seizures, or an implanted device like a pacemaker.

This study looks at how the brain controls movement in people with Parkinson's disease, including those who have had deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. It involves recording brain activity and may help doctors understand how to improve treatment.
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 study looks at brain signals in people with Parkinson's who are already scheduled for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery. The goal is to better understand how certain brain pathways work, which could lead to improved 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 looks at how brain connections involved in movement may relate to thinking and memory problems in Parkinson’s disease. It happens during a deep brain stimulation (DBS) operation, using tests while the surgeon is placing an electrode.
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.
