Speech and language study during brain stimulation treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This is an extra part of the STIMPulseControl study that focuses on speech. It looks at how the brain stimulation treatment affects your ability to speak clearly and communicate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must already be enrolled in the main STIMPulseControl study (KKS-313).
- You need to have some speech or language concerns that affect your daily life, or be worried about your speech.
- You must be willing to have your speech recorded during the study visits.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus can help control impulse control problems (like gambling, overeating, or shopping) in people with Parkinson's disease. It is for patients whose medication-related impulse symptoms are moderate to severe and who are good candidates for DBS surgery.
This study tests a gentle brain stimulation technique (high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation, or HD-tDCS) to see if it can improve speech and voice problems in people with Parkinson's. The stimulation is applied over a part of the brain that helps with planning movement.
This study tests whether stimulating specific parts of the brain's subthalamic nucleus at different frequencies can improve control over unwanted movements or impulses in people with Parkinson's disease. If you are planning to have DBS surgery, this trial may help find a better way to use the device.
This study tests whether automated analysis of your speech can help reduce speech problems caused by deep brain stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson’s disease. It may help your team adjust DBS settings to improve how you speak while keeping Parkinson symptoms controlled.
This study tests a “smart,” closed-loop deep brain stimulation (DBS) system that adjusts stimulation based on your brain signals. It’s designed for people with Parkinson’s who get troubling medication side effects, with the hope of improving symptoms more smoothly.
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.
