Deep brain stimulation study for Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies how deep brain stimulation (DBS) works and can help control Parkinson's symptoms. It uses a special DBS device that is safe for MRI scans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 50 and 70 years old.
- You have typical Parkinson's disease and have had it for less than 20 years.
- You are planning to get a specific brand of DBS device (G106R or G106RS) for brain surgery.
- Your thinking and memory are fairly good (no severe dementia).
- You can see and hear well enough to follow instructions and complete tasks.

This study tests an approach to improving Parkinson’s symptoms in people who already have deep brain stimulation (DBS) devices. It focuses on patients who are able to do walking tests safely and confirm they can understand and consent.
This trial compares two brain targets for deep brain stimulation (DBS), a surgery that uses implanted electrodes to help control Parkinson's symptoms. It aims to see which target works better for people whose symptoms are not well controlled by medication.
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects the body in people with Parkinson's disease. DBS uses a device to send electrical signals to a part of the brain that controls movement, which may help reduce symptoms.
This study tests a new type of deep brain stimulation (DBS)—a surgical treatment that uses electrical pulses to help control Parkinson's symptoms. Unlike standard DBS, this system adapts automatically to your body's needs. You may qualify if you've never had DBS surgery or if you've had it before and are willing to switch to the new device.
This study looks at factors that predict how well deep brain stimulation (DBS) works for people with Parkinson's disease. If you are considering DBS, joining this research could help doctors better understand who benefits most from the procedure.
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (an implanted brain device) affects Parkinson’s symptoms, especially movement problems like freezing, slowness, or involuntary movements. It may help people whose symptoms are not fully controlled by standard Parkinson medicines.
