Smart brain stimulation for Parkinson's during exercise
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests if a smart brain stimulator (deep brain stimulation, or DBS) can adjust itself during exercise to help people with Parkinson's disease move better. The goal is to improve how well the device works while you're active.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Parkinson's disease (PD).
- You have a Medtronic DBS Sensight implant with a Percept IPG (a specific type of brain stimulator).
- You are able to do the exercises in the study.
- You can understand and agree to be in the study.

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 type of deep brain stimulation (DBS) that automatically adjusts to your walking or balance issues. It uses your brain's own signals to improve movement.
This study compares two ways of using deep brain stimulation (DBS) — an adjustable ‘adaptive’ version that changes with your brain signals, versus the standard continuous setting. It aims to see which works better for people with Parkinson's disease who already have a specific type of DBS device.
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 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 whether combining physical exercise with transcranial direct current stimulation (a non-invasive electrical stimulation of the brain) can improve movement and symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see if this combination works better than exercise alone.
