Balance and movement study for veterans with Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how Parkinson's disease affects balance and movement. It may help predict fall risk and improve care. Some participants also have a special brain device to help with movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a veteran with a Parkinson's disease diagnosis.
- Your Parkinson's is at Hoehn and Yahr stage 2 or 3 (you can still walk and stand on your own).
- You are able to understand and agree to the study.
- You do not have dementia that affects your decision-making.
- For the device part: you have a specific type of deep brain stimulation (DBS) implant called a Percept device.

This study looks at balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. It uses simple tests to understand what causes trouble with standing and walking, which may help find better treatments.
This early-phase study looks at whether adjusting deep brain stimulation (DBS) can improve posture, walking, and balance in people with Parkinson’s disease. If you already have DBS in place, the trial uses computer-based planning to try different DBS directions and settings to see what helps you most.
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 study looks at how Parkinson's disease affects balance and walking, especially the freezing of gait. It uses a special brain implant (deep brain stimulation) to understand the brain signals and may help improve future treatments for movement problems.
This study measures brain and nerve “biomarkers” to understand how Parkinson’s affects walking and balance. It may help researchers identify signs that relate to gait problems, and participants with a specific implanted stimulator may be able to take part in testing with stimulation turned off.
This study tests a new way to help people with Parkinson's disease improve their balance and standing ability through guided exercises in a lab setting. Researchers want to see if this approach can safely help reduce balance problems and fall risk.
