Minimal imaging and brain-wave guided deep brain stimulation
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a way to perform deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery using fewer scans and electrical recordings. It may help people with Parkinson's by making the procedure simpler and more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Parkinson's disease and are eligible for deep brain stimulation (DBS).
- You can give informed consent to participate.
- You do not have any electrical implants or devices that prevent you from having an MRI.

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 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.
This study tests a new way to measure brain signals during Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's disease. It uses special leads that can sense brain activity, which may help doctors better adjust the stimulation in the future.
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 tests a new way to adjust deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease. It focuses on people who still have at least mild tremor after their DBS device has been in place for three months or more, to see if targeting specific brain connections can help improve tremor control.
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.
