Better referrals for advanced Parkinson's treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a wearable device and patient questionnaires can help doctors decide who should get advanced Parkinson's treatments like pump therapies or deep brain stimulation. It aims to make referral decisions more accurate and timely.
