Decision aid for deep brain stimulation in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a decision aid to help people with Parkinson's disease who are being considered for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. The goal is to see if the tool helps patients make more informed choices about their treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been referred to the University of Colorado to be evaluated for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery.

This trial studies how brain cells in a specific area (the prefrontal cortex) affect thinking and planning in people with Parkinson's disease who are getting deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. The goal is to learn more about brain function to improve future treatments.
This study tests if a smart brain stimulator (deep brain stimulation, or DBS) can adjust itself during exercise to help people with Parkinson's disease move better. The goal is to improve how well the device works while you're active.
This study follows people with Parkinson's disease who are having a surgical procedure called deep brain stimulation (DBS), where thin electrodes are placed in the brain to help control movement symptoms. Researchers will track how well the surgery works and how it affects daily activities.
This study tests a personalized way to adjust deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy in real time for people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to improve how DBS works by tailoring it to each person's needs.
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 special recordings during deep brain stimulation surgery to better understand how movement gets easier in Parkinson’s disease. It may help researchers improve how this therapy is used for advanced symptoms.
