Brain activity and movement control in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Parkinson's disease (for the main study parts).
- You are able to stop your Parkinson's medications for a short time during the study.
- You do not have severe tremor or severe involuntary movements that would interfere with the recordings.
- You are able to speak English (for the study instructions).
- If you are a healthy volunteer, you are between 45 and 75 years old and have no history of psychiatric or neurological conditions.

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.
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.
This study records brain activity during movement in people with Parkinson's who have a special deep brain stimulation (DBS) device. It aims to understand how brain rhythms relate to movement, which could improve future treatments.
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 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.
