Deep brain stimulation outcomes and electrode position in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how the placement of electrodes during deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease affects recovery and motor symptoms right after surgery. It could help doctors improve DBS outcomes for people with Parkinson's.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (not another form of parkinsonism).
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You must have had DBS surgery targeting the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in both sides of the brain.
- Your electrode placement must be considered accurate on brain scans.
- You must be able and willing to sign a consent form and attend follow-up visits.

This study looks at factors that predict how well deep brain stimulation (DBS) works for people with Parkinson's disease. If you are considering DBS, joining this research could help doctors better understand who benefits most from the procedure.
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 looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects sleep problems in people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to understand brain changes and improve sleep quality.
This study compares two ways of adjusting the settings for deep brain stimulation (a treatment for Parkinson's disease). One way uses standard clinical methods; the other uses special biological markers to guide the settings. The goal is to find which method works better for controlling symptoms.
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects the body in people with Parkinson's disease. DBS uses a device to send electrical signals to a part of the brain that controls movement, which may help reduce symptoms.
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.
