Thinking and memory after brain stimulation for Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease over time. It compares results from people who have DBS and those who receive only medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Parkinson's disease
- You are being considered for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in a brain area called the subthalamic nucleus
- You are taking the best available medication for your Parkinson's
- You are able to complete thinking and memory tests as part of the study

This study tests whether a thinking-and-memory training program (cognitive stimulation) can help people with Parkinson's who have mild memory or thinking problems, but not dementia. You must not have had deep brain stimulation surgery.
This study looks at whether deep brain stimulation (a surgical treatment for Parkinson’s disease) affects thinking and memory over time. It compares Parkinson’s participants to people without Parkinson’s to better understand what changes happen with treatment.
This study uses MRI scans to see how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help researchers understand why some people experience cognitive changes after DBS surgery.
This trial tests a brain stimulation technique (deep brain stimulation) to see if it can help people with Parkinson's disease who also have mild cognitive problems. The goal is to understand how stimulation affects both movement and thinking.
This study tests whether a special pattern of deep brain stimulation (called theta bursts) can improve thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease. It's for patients who already have a DBS device in their brain that is at least 3 months old.
This study looks at how Parkinson’s disease symptoms and brain thinking (neurocognitive function) may change after low-frequency stimulation from an implanted brain device. It may help researchers understand whether this specific stimulation pattern could improve thinking or brain-related symptoms.
