Simpler deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a simpler way to do deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's disease, using less electrical testing and fewer imaging scans. The goal is to make the procedure safer and more efficient while still treating symptoms effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Parkinson's disease.
- Your doctor has already said you qualify for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery.
- You are willing to give informed consent to take part.
- You do not have any implanted devices (like a pacemaker) that would make an MRI scan unsafe.

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 looks at how deep brain stimulation (a surgical treatment that uses implanted electrodes to help control movement) affects brain networks in people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to understand how the treatment works, which may help improve future care for Parkinson's patients.
This study tests a new way of delivering deep brain stimulation (DBS), which uses a small device implanted in the brain to reduce Parkinson's symptoms. The device sends electrical pulses that may be different on each side of the brain, which could better suit each person's needs. Participating may help doctors learn if this approach improves movement and quality of life.
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 is testing a specific approach to deep brain stimulation (DBS) for people with Parkinson’s disease who are getting DBS surgery as part of routine care. It may help doctors learn whether circuit-based, more targeted stimulation is safe and useful for Parkinson’s symptoms.
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.
