Lesioning procedures for movement disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial looks at treatments that use small, deliberate brain lesions (tiny, controlled areas of damage) to help reduce symptoms of movement disorders like tremors, stiffness, or uncontrolled movements. It aims to see if these procedures are safe and effective for patients who are being considered for them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a movement disorder, such as tremors, stiffness, or uncontrolled movements.
- You are being evaluated for a lesioning procedure (a treatment that creates a tiny, controlled area in the brain).
- You are of any age and either sex.
- You are willing to participate and can provide consent (or have a caregiver who can).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies outcomes after deep brain stimulation (a treatment that uses implanted electrodes) for people with Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, or dystonia. It may help doctors understand who benefits most and how outcomes change after treatment.
This study looks at whether deep brain stimulation surgery can help people with certain movement problems, chosen by a specialized team. You may be considered if medicines (or other treatments) aren’t controlling your symptoms well enough or if the condition causes major disability.
This study tests a new way to adjust deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease. It focuses on people who still have at least mild tremor after their DBS device has been in place for three months or more, to see if targeting specific brain connections can help improve tremor control.
This study looks at how “inhibitory control” brain networks work in people with Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor. If you are eligible for surgery and can do the study tasks, your results may help researchers better understand movement disorders and guide future treatments.
This study tests whether stimulating specific brain areas (VOP/VIM) during deep brain stimulation surgery can improve movement and muscle control. It includes people with essential tremor or Parkinson's disease who are already scheduled for this surgery.
This trial tests a continuous electrical brain stimulation device placed in a deep brain area to help Parkinson’s symptoms—especially tremor and trouble with movement. It may help improve daily function and reduce periods when medicine does not work well.
