Brain activity in Parkinson's during movement with DBS
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have Parkinson's disease (the most common type).
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You must have a specific type of brain stimulator called a PERCEPT™ device in a brain area called the subthalamic nucleus (STN), either already implanted for less than a year or soon to be implanted.
- You must be able to do a simple movement task as part of the study.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You must not have a serious untreated medical or mental health condition that could make participation unsafe.

This study records brain activity during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's disease to better understand how the brain controls actions. It might help improve future treatments.
This study looks at how the brain controls movement in people with Parkinson's disease, including those who have had deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. It involves recording brain activity and may help doctors understand how to improve treatment.
This study uses MRI scans to look at brain activity in people with Parkinson's disease who have a Medtronic Percept DBS device. The goal is to better understand how deep brain stimulation works.
This study looks at brain signals in people with Parkinson's who are already scheduled for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery. The goal is to better understand how certain brain pathways work, which could lead to improved treatments.
This study looks at how the brain “filters” sensory information in people with advanced Parkinson’s disease, using brain imaging and deep brain stimulation (DBS) that you may already be getting as routine care. The goal is to better understand what drives Parkinson’s symptoms and how DBS might affect the brain.
This study uses a brain scan called MEG to look at how Parkinson's disease and impulse control disorders affect brain networks in people who have already had deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. You will be asked to delay your morning medication so the researchers can study your brain without the effects of the drugs.
